In the winter semester 2021 the KOEN Institute once again organized the Beginners Workshop for the first-year students of the Faculty of Architecture. The workshop encouraged 180 students to work together with 13 lectures on the development of a temporary settlement next to the Club Hybrid at Hergottwiesgasse. A design concept was developed in several stages, ranging from 1:10 scale models to a 1:1 construction consisting of wooden slats and fabrics. The purpose of the task was to give the students a feeling for proportion of spaces, cooperation and design development. They should become familiar with the entire design process, from an idea to a model to the actual construction of a structure. A main focus was the economical use of the materials provided. Finally, the entire work was presented by the several design groups on site and the workshop was concluded with a small party.
