The construction sector accounts for more than a third of global CO2 emissions. Reason enough for Gautingen high school students to think about sustainable and innovative architecture. The impressive result could be seen at the Bosco at the weekend.
Gauting – In the crowded small hall of the Bosco on Saturday, eleven students of Q 12 of the Otto-von-Taube-Gymnasium presented their elaborately constructed, innovative architectural models from sustainable materials – under the title "Building for the Environment." Background: According to a UN report, 38 percent of global CO2 emissions are caused by the construction sector. Students of the practical seminar had already been dealing with the increasing importance of climate change since September 2022.
At the vernissage, young people, art teacher Svantje Munzert, parents, grandparents, but also former mayor Dr. Ekkehard Knobloch crowded around the architectural models in the hall. The "Green Pavilions" made of recycled steel and glass with plays of light and shadow by Finja Fischer were fascinating. The organic shapes are inspired by the famous iconic Sydney Opera House by Swedish architect and sailor Jorn Utzon, Munzert explained.
Using plaster, wood, wafer-thin kapa panels, metal grids, papier-mâché and polystyrene, Daniel Ibrahim had built his "mountain house" with a babbling waterfall. "My main goal was to have a building that could fully meet its own electricity needs," he said. This works with a pump that generates energy from a waterfall, plus a photovoltaic system. The hydroponic irrigation system even makes it possible to grow foods such as lettuce or pak choi, says Ibrahim. A durable, modern half-timbered house, built of clay, with a solar system on the roof, had been designed by Leonie Drexl. Inspired by Frank Loyd Wright's "Fallingwater" architecture, Louis Schuster has built his largely energy-self-sufficient house "Solarisgreen" with large windows, solar panels and breathtaking views of the landscape.
"Heart of the Sea" is the name Danica Stewart gives to her organic coral living objects made of clay. In view of the "housing shortage", Leopold Tschochner designed a soaring basic module made of Kapa panels with moss and green facades. Its modular construction can be expanded as desired. Emil Dellinger created a low level of sealing with his green bungalow with sustainable energy, reduced to little living space. Florian Weller created a business building based on the Bauhaus style, sustainably made of wood, flexibly constructed with meeting rooms. A "clay school" with a central fountain was designed by Elinor Draf. And Ivo Mommsen came up with a model of a converted former factory building into an energy-efficient building.
Florian Weller explained the motivation for the project: "Climate change and youth protests such as Fridays for Future have inspired us to do something ourselves so that we do not leave a damaged world to our children."
