Co-working Space is flexible in the way it is used. That is why we developed a system
of foldable tables and stools. In addition, there are shelves which are precisely fitted
into the Randomize Box. Like the wall panels, the items of furniture are mounted into
the support structure of connectors and beams so that they almost disappear in the
structure almost seamlessly when they are no longer needed. The combination of the
two concepts produces a future-oriented, ecological workspace that saves resources,
adapts flexibly and makes possible and improves the collaboration of different disciplines.

Implementation and further development of the concepts

Having designed a conclusive connecting system, it was important to us that the further
development of the system is not only in our own hands. By publishing the blueprints,
the cubes, beams and panels can be further developed by others as well. In future, an
online platform is to be established which gives outsiders the chance to copy and opti-
mize. Thus the system could, for example, be made water-proof, thermally insulated or
equipped with lighting elements. After we had developed our joint concept, we arrived
at the – for us as students of architecture – most fascinating stage: The constructional
implementation in model on a scale of 1:1. After we had taken the lead in the planning Noch während des Aufbaus lässt sich die Form bestimmen. • During the assembly, the form can be determined.
phase, now the trainee carpenters showed their skills. It was incredibly thrilling and in
many ways so to be allowed to collaborate as craftsmen and to experience in a real and
tangible manner what it means to implement a project. Both sides enjoyed the imple-
mentation of what had previously been planned. Together, we worked in the joinery and
were able to make our project come true within two weeks. The problems arising in the
construction phase were quickly solved in the, by now, well-coordinated team. Such
practical experience is rarely offered to architects in the everyday planning- and develop-
ment process. We efficiently and quickly produced the components at the CNC machine.
To keep the overview of the components which yet had to be produced, the whole team
had access to a digital model of the cube in the form of a parametrically calculated 3D
model which provided all the information as to quantities and production type. The col-
laboration was highly instructive for all the participants. We hope for the future of stu-
dents and trainees that projects of his kind will be encouraged and supported even more. Grundriss-Szenarien • Ground plan scenarios
