Rapunzel Visitor Centre in Legau, Germany by haascookzemmrich STUDIO 2050February 15th, 2023 by Sumit Singhal
Article source: haascookzemmrich STUDIO 2050 Observing the natural cycles of nature is a basis of organic farming. The architecture of the Rapunzel world also feels committed to the principles of an ecologically sensible circular economy. The building technology was reduced to a minimum. We use daylight and the microclimate and largely do without mechanical air conditioning. I hope that the floating and protective roof band that soars up into the Rapunzel Tower, the wings of the building stretching out into the natural environment and the careful choice of building materials that are as regional as possible will also illustrate these principles to the visitor when developing the visitor center.

Article source: CUP.scale studio What were the inspirations and key concepts for the development of the project? As I am interested in Thai vernacular architecture that usually feature a wooden structure such as Thai house and barn. I would like to preserve local memory and culture by complementing each other functionally and environmentally. “Boonbun Pocket” is witness of a past era and living examples of specific constructive techniques, styles and materials from other time, especially a wooden structure.which the owner also has a passion for the reuse of wood material in building. Maintaining them is therefore essential in making local communities feel a sense of belonging and shared history, especially if the building is a meeting place in itself and a wide range of activities.

Subtle material transitions between the existing and the new acknowledges its contextual relationship. Sited in a suburban context, the house’s corner site provokes a dialogue between its occupants and the surrounding community through the archetypal picket fence. Offering opportunities for social engagement between the layering of fence, façade, existing and alteration – the rhythm of the pickets establishes moments of exposure and concealment between the street and inner private gardens.
