Neuware -In 2020, the Swiss canton of Zurich commissioned Zurich-based firm pool Architekten with the design of a system for temporary sports halls to meet growing demand for such facilities on public school campuses. Each building is intended to remain at a single location for 10 to 15 years, until it is either relocated or stored for future reuse. pool Architekten proposed a prefabricated timber construction system that enables a variety of spatial configurations and appearances, allowing for careful integration into each site's environment. The components are designed for up to three assemblies over a 30-year total lifespan. This book explores how pool Architekten applied the concept of design for disassembly, their underlying constructive principles, and the manufacturing and initial assembly of these temporary sports halls. Conceived as a project journal, the volume documents-through images, plans, and texts-an important and innovative contribution to achieve sufficiency, sustainability, and circular economy in architecture and construction.; Schnell wachsende Schülerzahlen und notwendige Instandsetzungen zahlreicher Schulanlagen veranlassten 2020 den Kanton Zürich, nach einer temporären Lösung für Sportanlagen zu suchen. Jedes Gebäude soll zwischen drei bis fünfzehn Jahren an einem Standort bestehen bleiben, bis es entweder verlegt oder zur späteren Wiederverwendung eingelagert wird. Das renommierte Zürcher Büro pool Architekten reagierte darauf mit dem Entwurf eines vorgefertigten Holzbausystems, das unterschiedliche räumliche Konfigurationen und Erscheinungsbilder ermöglicht und eine sorgfältige Einbettung in die Umgebung erlaubt. Die Bauteile sind für eine Lebensdauer von 30 Jahren ausgelegt und können bis zu dreimal wiederverwendet werden. Dieses Buch befasst sich mit dem Entwurfsprozess von pool Architekten, den Konstruktionsprinzipien und dem Bau der temporären Sportbauten. Die Architekten folgten dabei konsequent dem Grundsatz des Design for Disassembly. Als Werkjournal konzipiert, dokumentiert der Band mit vielfältigem Bild- und Planmaterial sowie Textbeiträgen, in denen auch viele Beteiligte zu Wort kommen, einen zeitgemässen und relevanten architektonischen Beitrag zu Fragen der Suffizienz, Nachhaltigkeit und Kreislaufwirtschaft. 160 pp. Englisch, Deutsch. …

Organised as a collective of architects since 1998, they have won numerous public and private commissions, with a focus on residential and school building design and urban planning research.
Ciro Miguel is a Brazilian-born Zurich-based architect, photographer, curator, and writer.
