The administrative district of Stuttgart has published 2023 Building+ Economy, Architecture of the Region in the Mirror. The book features not one but two projects by Steimle Architekten that are currently in the planning stage. Fire Station 1 South, which was decided at the end of 2022, is still at the very beginning of the planning phase. In the middle of the Stuttgart Heusteigviertel, the old building in need of renovation is to be demolished in order to integrate a new, contemporary fire department with administration into the historic stock of the surroundings.

Also in focus, the district house in Stuttgart Stammheim. The first work has already started on site for the open community center, which is being built in the immediate vicinity of Stammheim Castle. The traditional gable roof blends in with the typical local architecture. The modern lamella facade with integrated PV modules reinterprets the gable roof house.

The summer hole in two versions. While our citizens from Überlingen can jump into the lake during their lunch break, Stuttgart's children cool off in the fountains at the Marktplatz. One or the other says goodbye to their summer vacation while the somewhat different (summer) holes continue to be built and planned on construction sites and plans.

We are celebrating 5000 days of Steimle Architekten today. 5000 days are gone, when Thomas Steimle opened the doors at Marktplatz 5 in Stuttgart. Meanwhile Christine Steimle is also a partner, a second office in Überlingen, lake of constance opened, and the Stuttgart office moved to Marktplatz 6 and 10.
Since 5000 days architects at Steimle Architekten are working at present on around thirdy projects. 5000 days with emotions and hapiness for architecture. To the next 5000 days!

Here the line becomes the house! The new SWR Studio Mannheim - Ludwigshafen records further milestones in its completion. After the building has already been standing for a few weeks with a finished shell, the interior construction continues to progress. The staircase, clearly designed with white railings and exposed concrete, already give an idea of the clean structures of the new studio. The heated and cooled ceiling has already been installed on the office floors and the raised floor has been partially laid. But the exterior of the studio is also gradually approaching its final state. The white pilaster strips are currently being installed on the facade.

In five minute updates you can see the progress on the swr website. While not every five minute a real change is seeable, sometimes it is intressted to watch out here for an update.

The visitor center of the Bauhaus World Heritage Site in Bernau was published on Baunetzwissen under the category Flat roof. The seemingly floating flat roof made of insulating concrete is design-defining for the visitor pavilion. The roof structure ensures a durable and robust construction. The 18 cm thick reinforced concrete slab is highly load-bearing, while the embedded steel bracket per column axis provides additional safety. Interested in more detailed information?

Demolition work is in process at the construction site for the district office in Gunzenhausen. So far, the bored pile walls have been completed along the sides of the street and some of the existing buildings have already been demolished. Since June 19, 2023, Bahnhofstraße, which borders the construction site to the west, has been completely closed for four to five weeks and the 6 level silo building will be break off. The silo building was originally built around 1679 by Margrave Johann Friedrich as a margravial brewery, and was used in between as a malt house. After the demolition of the silo building, one last building, the former youth hostel, will be built back. A heavy-duty wall will be installed to stabilize the existing basement and shoring will be completed along the neighbours properties to the north and east. After completion of the demolition, the new building is expected to start in the new year.

At a second jury meeting, these are toured and finally the prize-winning project is selected.

The announcement of the winner, the award ceremony and the opening of an exhibition on the buildings always take place at the end of January at the Deutsches Architekturmuseum in Frankfurt am Main[...].
