Housing at Kaiserstrasse Kaiserstrasse 68 1070 Vienna This intervention involves an interesting compacting of the dense city since it takes over the traditional inner patio of the 19th urban development and considerably increases residential and population density in an already dense area The authors of the work explain the goodness of the building, whose most debatable aspect is its outer façade Project is not public! 2005 2285 m² gernerºgerner plus CPB Beta Anlagen Leasing aplust photo: gernerºgerner plus http://wwwmimoaeu/users/shoe/guides/vienna%20moderna%203/ 5

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! 2009 60 m² Main designer, Associate architect Associate architect Gregor Pils Andreas Claus Schnetzer Karin Stieldorf Pekka Janhunen ana_struna_bregar http://wwwmimoaeu/users/shoe/guides/vienna%20moderna%203/ 12
