Wohnstück Übelbach

Abstract

Übelbach, southern training center. Somewhere on the gigantic parking lot, there is a house, a piece of architecture, das Wohnstück - the residential piece. Seemingly immobile and yet as if it had Just landed. Who, after all, would build a house in a parking lot? It will probably have to go. So it is light, can be disassembled, reused. Not a piece of real estate, but an intelligent product. Made from prefabricated parts, subject to modular principles. It has replaced craft tradition by the idea of industrial production. It is prefabricated, was assembled at high speed, and is cheap.
