For scenarios #4, #5 and #6, concepts and architectures were defined, but the model assessment was still ongoing. model assessment for the definition of energy, materials and waste flows.Īs part of the ongoing project, the six scenarios were at different levels of development while the questionnaire sessions were being conducted: scenarios #1, #2 and #3 were completely defined regarding concept and architecture and almost completed regarding the model assessment.architecture modelling for the definition of the physical 3D models (lead by alchemia-nova).concept design (in collaboration with the students of the “POPUP SHELTER – Design Studio” course at the Technical University of Vienna).definition of the scenario (during workshops with interested stakeholders).The scenarios were developed by alchemia-nova and the consortium in a step-by-step process: bodies of water, like rivers, and the reuse of old cargo ships.vacant ground floor retail spaces, before a new destination is found.rail traffic areas which are no longer in use and the reuse of train wagons for residential purposes.large green open spaces (whereby these spaces provide important functions which must be taken into consideration).empty buildings, like factories and industries that have fallen into disuse and are now abandoned.vacant lots, understood as urban gaps due to the lack of buildings in densely constructed lots.Six suitable areas for temporary housing in the Viennese context The scenarios were developed with the aid of stakeholders and six suitable areas for temporary housing in the city were identified. Within the project, six possible temporary housing scenarios were defined for the context of Vienna. This research clearly goes beyond state-of-the-art, since for the first time a systemic modelling approach is applied to develop high-quality and sustainable temporary housing environments as innovation niches within urban systems. Risk assessment approaches as well as energy and life-cycle-assessments are applied to evaluate the housing models. Diverse modelling approaches are integrated into a cross-disciplinary model and subsequent scenarios of pop-up housing environments are developed for different target groups and types of urban spaces. Methods from urban and landscape planning, architecture and building systems technologies are interlinked to resource related disciplines such as energy optimization, green technologies, sustainable waste management, water supply and wastewater treatment as well as social and political sciences. In this respect, this proposal focuses on an inter- and trans-disciplinary approach to systematically investigate and evaluate existing temporary housing options, and to create holistic, innovative and sustainable models for pop-up living systems in urban environments. However, to go one step further, temporary housing will be conceptualized as local innovation systems. To address these urgent demands, it is important to find affordable and flexible but sustainable and reusable concepts that are easy to construct and rapid to implement. The need for temporary housing particularly in urban environments is expected to increase dramatically. The project aim is to contribute to the transition of the construction sector from linear to circular models, by using temporary PUEs, so as to make urban reuse strategies more sustainable in social, economic and environmental terms, in an attempt to find adaptable and flexible paradigms for different urban contexts.
