ANNUAL MEETING 2021 OF THE SPP 2255

12./13. May 2022, at the old Cottbus diesel power plant (BLMK)

The first annual meeting of the DFG priority program Cultural Heritage Construction gave participants from the various subprojects an insight into related issues and research methods as well as opportunities for intensive professional exchange and networking. Lectures, discussions and site visits offered opportunities to look beyond the boundaries of one’s own disciplines, both in terms of one’s own project work and in relation to the annual theme 2021 “Building at the Limit”.

First physical meeting of SPP 2255 contributors
As a result of the COVID 19 pandemic, only one of three components of the first annual meeting of SPP 2255 could be held in the fall of 2021, with the “Building at the Limit” think tank , which was held as a hybrid event. In May 2022, the remaining parts were then done in Cottbus. This finally gave the participants in the subprojects, which are spread across 19 different locations in Germany and Austria, the opportunity to discuss technical issues directly with each other and, above all, to get to know each other personally. For a priority program that has the goal of forming new networks extend beyond the narrower professional boundaries, this circumstance was of extraordinary importance after numerous virtual events in the already approximately 1 ½ years of SPP 2255.

Interim balance of the work in the individual subprojects
SPP 2255 is committed to the principle of transdisciplinary open-mindedness. At the first annual meeting of the priority program, the focus was on an interim review of the work in the individual subprojects. In a tour d’horizon all eleven subprojects presented brief descriptions of the status achieved, which were then discussed in a large circle in order to provide the participants with suggestions for further work, particularly from an interdisciplinary perspective.
In addition to the work reports of the subprojects, associated projects the processors initiative “Common Ground” took the opportunity to present their topics in the form of poster presentations.

Excursion to “Buildings at the Limit”
In addition to theoretical treatment, direct confrontation is essential when dealing with buildings. On a joint excursion from Cottbus to Berlin, various building complexes were therefore visited on the second day of the annual meeting, in which, on the one hand the annual theme 2021 “Building at the Limit” can be physically experienced due to the challenges overcome during construction and, on the other hand, interesting questions about the practical handling of historical building constructions are raised using practical examples.

Workshop Subprojects C2, C3, C4 and E4 – 3D Digitalisation. Limits of 3D capture and digitalisation of complex models.

Kategorie: Veranstaltung, Workshop
Published on: 1. November 2023

The workshop deals with the current limits of 3D capture and digitalisation of particularly complex and filigree objects. The occasion is the challenge of digitalising a historical wire rope model for the Olympic roof landscape in Munich. This model exemplifies the difficulties and limitations of digital capture and representation. The cross-project exchange is intended to show new possibilities and approaches for the digitisation of these challenging objects.

WORKSHOP OF THE SUBPROJECTS C3, C4, D1, D2 AND E1 – TYPIFIED GDR STRUCTURES AS HISTORICAL SOURCES OF ENGINEERING DESIGN

Kategorie: Veranstaltung, Workshop
Published on: 10. October 2022

The GDR produced highly typified load-bearing structures based on standardised building elements, which were in turn combined in type buildings. The workshop will focus on the phenomenon of state-led building typification in East Germany, with a consideration of West German type building for contextualisation. In addition to an insight into materials, constructions and development mechanisms, the constructive side of building in the GDR will be addressed and its worthiness of preservation discussed, away from the classical history of architecture and urban development.

The workshop will take place from 29.-31 3. 2023 at the Bauhaus University Weimar. A one-day excursion on 31. 3. will explore selected type buildings.

SUMUPLAB 2022: AIRCRAFT HANGARS IN COTTBUS

Kategorie: Veranstaltung, Workshop
Published on: 29. August 2022

The “strategy and method laboratories” (SuMupLABs) are one of the central event formats to promote interdisciplinary exchange in the SPP 2255. They are explicitly aimed at the processors in the individual sub-projects of the SPP.
The SuMupLAB 2022 takes the participants to the former airfield Cottbus-Nord. The site, which was used by the military from 1933 to 2003, is currently undergoing forced expansion into a commercial location in the context of structural change in Lausitz. This raises crucial questions about the future authenticity of an ensemble of five aircraft hangars that are unique in Germany.

Kategorie: Veranstaltung, Workshop
Published on: 29. July 2021

Überherrn, Ortsteil Felsberg, 22./23. September 2021
Die „Strategie- und Methodenlabore“ (SuMupLABs) sind eines der zentralen Veranstaltungsformate zur Förderung des interdisziplinären Austauschs im SPP 2255. Sie richten sich explizit an den Bearbeiterinnen und Bearbeiter in den einzelnen Teilprojekten des SPP.
Das erste SuMupLAB 2021 führte die Teilnehmerinnen und Teilnehmer in die ehem. Sendehalle von Radio Europe 1 im Saarland. Das 1954/55 errichtete Bauwerk steht exemplarisch für das erste Jahresthema des SPP 2255 – „Bauen am Limit“. Der lichtdurchflutete Bau wird von einer gut 80 m weit frei spannenden Hängeschale überdacht, in deren spannungsreicher Baugeschichte die Grenzen des technisch Beherrschbaren in dramatischer Weise offenbar wurden.

Im Forschungsschwerpunkt SPP 2255 „Kulturerbe Konstruktion“ der DFG befassen sich WissenschaftlerInnen der TU BA Freiberg und TU Braunschweig mit den Konstruktionen des VEB Metalleichtbau-kombinat (MLK). Ein Typenbauwerk des MLKs ist das Sporthalle KT60L.
Die Sporthalle der Freie Waldorfschule Magdeburg e.V. wurde Mitte 1970er Jahre erbaut und in den Jahren 2007 sowie 2010/11 saniert. Sie stellt wegen des innovativen Erhaltungsansatzes ein Vorbild für den allgemeinen und auch denkmalpflegerischen Umgang von Typenbauwerken der DDR dar.
