LINA – Learning, Interacting and Networking in Architecture

Deutsch

The HDA – House of Architecture is a network partner in the EU-funded programme LINA. The association of over 30 European cultural institutions and event platforms promotes young architects and creatives from Europe and offers them an international platform within the network.

Within the framework of the LINA Call for Projects, young talents can apply and, after a preliminary selection process, participate in exhibitions, biennials, lectures, workshops, publications, etc. throughout Europe.

For the programme at the House of Architecture, only people who do NOT have their center of life in Austria can apply.

HDA-PROGRAMME

THE FUTURE OF BUILDING
Vernacular + Visionary = Future

Research for new solutions for the built environment as a result of low tech and visionary technologies in times of climate change

Climate change is one of the biggest challenges of our time and the consequences of climate change are already making themselves felt globally. Extreme weather events are becoming increasingly common. Statistically, heat waves, storms and floods are getting more and more intense and it is likely that storms will continue to increase in frequency in the future. In the framework of the European programme LINA we are organising workshops and seminars with experts and planners on this topic.
This project aims to respond to climate challenges in the construction industry and find workable solutions by researching and combining well-established and new research results in the field of construction methods and materials – bringing together the all-time best.

PART II
13.–27.02.2024 | Research Lab in Stuttgart

Building from the research of the LINA Fellows in spring 2023 at HDA in Graz, in which traditional as well as new, sustainable building types were gathered and compiled in a publication, in the second part of the research lab we will initiate a design lab.
In cooperation with the Chair for Building Construction, Building Technology, and Design, Prof. Martin Ostermann, University Stuttgart, a workshop will take place February 13–27, 2024. For this, we are currently searching for five Fellows who would like to join us in developing new ideas for climate-resilient designs and projects.

The aim is to develop new typologies for buildings in regions that are affected by severe weather/flooding or overheating/drought. Each of the Fellows will lead a group of approximately three students with whom they will co-develop new designs as response to climatic challenges. These will be depicted with the help of plans, images, and models. The institute is equipped with material samples and a 3D printer, which will be made available for model production.

The goal at the end of the HDA research program is to present all results from Workshop I 2023 and Workshop II 2024 together in an exhibition and publication (planned for Autumn 2024) at HDA.

PART I
20.2 – 12.3.2023 – Research Lab at the HDA in Graz

LOW-TEC AND VISIONARY TRANSDISCIPLINARY CLIMATE-FRIENDLY BUILDING METHODS
Reviews and Research – Vernacular and Visionary Examples throughout Space and Time
German/English

The first step will be to select examples of successful typologies, building methods and materials. These will be complemented by innovative examples from the field of current research – including, for example, new surfaces for harvesting solar energy, rust resistant reinforcement, new material compositions and 3D-printed constructions to conserve material.
Field trips and lectures by invited experts accompany the programme.
