4 photo: Michiel van Loon Schullin Jewelry Shop Kohlmarkt Vienna In this jewelry shop in Vienna, ornament is both message and medium Hans Hollein has taken the basic shell of a 19th-century building, corrected it slightly, and painted it white He then superimposed a clearly differentiated layer of elements not only functional but fantastic and luxurious Paradoxically for a jewelry shop (and quite intentionally), he has used materials in flagrant disregard of their real value: some are precious and some are common, but all, glowing or glittering, tease the visitor with an impression of wealth and mystery Real marble is used in the patterned floor, but in the black-curtained backworld of the safe, under a mock skylight, plastic laminate pretends to be marble Real bronze is used as an arch/guillotine over the entrance, but a headless 'bronzed' African bust is in fact plastic (text from 'Ornament is no crime', Progressive ure/ny) Public access unknown! 1974 Hans Hollein Herbert Schullin Michiel_van_Loon photo: Michiel van Loon 4

10 photo: Gregor Pils photo: Gregor Pils Pallet House Karlsplatz Vienna Pallets are available worldwide and used in different ways, eg for transport with railway cars, ship containers and trucks At the end of their life cycle -after transportation- they are usually burned Hence, it is of global concern to find a follow-up use for them For building a 60m2 pallet house, 900 reconditioned pallets are needed The pallet is used as detachable façade element, ceiling element, wall element, as blind and as sunscreen The space between the pallets contains beams, insulation, cables and lighting Due to the use of 900 recycled pallets for the basic structure and of cellulose or sand as insulation, the building is highly ecological and sustainable The need for other materials is reduced to a minimum Pallet houses could replace low-cost shelters in slums and in refugee camps, which could be built easily by locals with local materials Today popular for transport only, in the future pallets could additionally become a construction element for poor and for rich photo: Gregor Pils Project is public! m² Main designer, Associate architect Associate architect Gregor Pils Andreas Claus Schnetzer Karin Stieldorf Pekka Janhunen ana_struna_bregar 10
