AIT 3.2024 Living: In the city, in the country – environmentally and socially compatible

Higher interest rates, a sharp rise in inflation and stagnating demand at a high level are determining the real estate market in Germany. What does this mean for architects and the question: How and where should we live? In redensified cities? According to current statistics, more than 77% of people in Germany lived in cities in 2023, but only 13% consider the city to be the ideal place to live. The reasons: prices too high, too little nature. How should residential buildings in the countryside be designed so that they are environmentally and socially compatible? Material and space-saving conversions, such as in Iwata in Japan, Geneva or Basel, as well as intelligent, space-efficient housing estates such as in Wädenswil or Malmö, are extremely sensible and topical. In Madrid, Cologne and Vésenaz, we were impressed by the optimization or expansion of existing floor plans – the exemplary space-saving concept “Fünf auf 100” in Berlin impressed the jury of the German Interior Design Award 2023 and led to a 3rd place for the Berlin interior designer Elisabeth Müller. The development of contemporary living solutions is occupying both universities, as demonstrated by the master’s thesis “Lückenfüller” at the University of Stuttgart, and industry: two southern German companies are successfully tackling the topic of micro living with the project “The Moving Tree”.
