Architekt/in als BIM-Koordinator (ArchiCAD)

Ab Mai 2018 oder nach Vereinbarung suchen wir zur Verstärkung unseres Teams eine/n Architekt/in für die Realisierung eines grossen, mischgenutzten Umnutzungs- und Aufstockungsprojekts mit vielfältigen Wohnformen sowie Kultur- und Gewerbenutzungen auf dem Areal der ehemaligen Kehrichtverbrennungsanlage Warmbächliweg in Bern.

Als Architekt/in (ETH / Uni / FH) verfügen Sie bereits über mehrjährige Berufserfahrung, vorzugsweise in der Schweiz. Sie bringen sowohl ausgezeichnete konzeptionell-entwerferische als auch technisch-konstruktive Kenntnisse mit und haben ein Verständnis für deren gegenseitige Wechselwirkungen. Zudem haben Sie umfangreiche Erfahrung in der Planung und Umsetzung von anspruchsvollen Projekten in BIM mit ArchiCAD.

Sie bearbeiten Themenkomplexe selbstständig und zielorientiert und sind in der Lage technische, konstruktive, funktionale und typologische Aspekte eines Projekts sicher zu ordnen und in prägnanten Räumen umzusetzen. Sie sind motiviert und belastbar, bringen sich gerne in einem Projektteam aktiv ein und kommunizieren sicher mit externen Projektbeteiligten. Ihre ArchiCAD-Kenntnisse befähigen Sie, die Rolle eines BIM-Koordinators auszufüllen und die Verantwortung für das BIM-Modell eines komplexen Projekts zu übernehmen. Sie koordinieren den internen Arbeitsprozess, definieren BIM-Anforderungen und Work-Flows, pflegen das digitale Modell und entwickeln es proaktiv weiter.

Ausserdem übernehmen Sie zukünftig die Führung bei der Implementierung und Entwicklung von BIM-Prozessen im gesamten Büro. Sie entwickeln Template-Dateien, CAD-Standards und Manuals weiter. Sie begleiten und schulen die Mitarbeiter projektübergreifend und sorgen so für die Verankerung von CAD-/BIM-Knowhow.

Sehr gute Kenntnisse in Bildbearbeitung, Grafik und Projektadministration sowie deutsche Sprachkenntnisse setzen wir als selbstverständlich voraus.

Wir bieten eine informelle, aber professionelle Arbeitsatmosphäre, die Möglichkeit, an einem aussergewöhnlichen Projekt prägend mitzuarbeiten, sowie die Perspektive, langfristig an verantwortungsvoller Position in unserem Büro tätig zu sein und so dessen weitere Entwicklung mitzugestalten.

Agrarcampus Jamu Mare, Romania

In the coming decades, ecological food production will become an increasingly important issue – on a global scale. It will become a necessity for agricultural reasons, because of market demand, and because it is beneficial for general health. At the same time, rural regions around the world will fundamentally be impacted by climate change, with unforeseeable results. It is this wider context that forms the background for the Jamu Mare project in the Banat region in western Romania.

The site, consisting of approximately 1000 ha of agricultural land, presently already serves ecological farming purposes. However, the site is underutilized and in need of modernization. A family from Switzerland has discovered the village of Jamu Mare and the large site south of it and decided to invest into its future. The vision of the family aims not only at the modernization and professionalization of the agricultural production, which includes wine, lucerne, grass-cover ley and winter wheat, and later on cattle, pig and horse production. It also includes a long-term investment into agricultural education in cooperation with the Banat University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine in Timisoara. In addition to this, national and international tourists are to be drawn to the site, primarily because of the wine production. Thus, the project is a chance to turn Jamu Mare into a model for the rural future that is to come in the 21st century.

The project has started in fall 2017 and is in constant evolution. We have been commissioned with the urbanistic design of the site, but also with the architectural implementation. In addition, we pursue the goal of extending the scope of the project to the village of Jamu Mare and, subsequently, to the surrounding villages as well. We view the project as an example of the emerging discipline of Rural Design, a discipline that is dedicated to a holistic view of climate, local building culture, agriculture and architectural design.

30/09/2016: Office building in Bremgarten is near completion

Our project for an office building in Bremgarten for JELD-WEN is now near completion. The scaffolding is being removed and the final works on the interior will be finished soon.

Health Campus, Lausanne

The theme of the competition was a mixed- use development for a Health Campus in Lausanne. We chose an approach of creating a range of climatic zones, ranging from outside spaces over greenhouse-like in-between areas to regularly heated rooms in the centre of the buildings. In the lower part, big building blocks are created, while the part towards the forest is more open.

Area development, Speicher

Subject of the competition was a currently vacant site in Speicher, canton Appenzell Ausserrhoden. The site is owned by the municipality and will be provided for a residential development – a typical “urban sprawl task” in the agglomeration of St. Gallen.

As a spine of the development, we suggested a vertically oriented internal space that allows easy orientation for residents and guests. It also releases the view into the countryside and the village in regular intervals, in particular towards the village church. The buildings are arranged so that the views for individual apartments is optimized. Also, the buildings also are grouped into individual “homesteads”, improving identification for the inhabitants with their living environment and creating an address that is easy to find for visitors.

The design works with the three different typological principles Townhouse, Apartment, and Duplex apartments with studios. The focus is on family-friendly forms of housing. The bases of all buildings are constructed in solid concrete. The upper floors are clad in a horizontally structured facade of prefabricated wooden elements alluding to local building traditions.

Intern

We are looking for an intern in our office in Zurich, starting from June 1st 2018 or by arrangement to work on building projects, competitions and studies ranging from the architectural to the urban scale.

The internship should last at least six months. Requirements are at least two years of architectural studies, high proficiency in drawing in CAD, image editing and graphic design, as well as good model making techniques. We expect precision, good communicative skills, proactive work, and the willingness to make an own contribution in a small and personal team.

24/2/2015: Kamenzind/Camenzind nominated for Swiss Art Award

Camenzind and its sister magazine in Belgrade, Kamenzind, have been nominated for the Swiss Art Award 2015 in the category “Communication of Architecture”. The Jury and exhibition will take place in June 2015.

Development Plan, Berne

After winning the Ideas competition in 2012, BHSF and Christian Salewski were commissioned with working out a development plan for the site. After having completed the first part, which will serve as a basis for submissions to potential developers, the second step will be taken by the end of 2014. The urban planning document is supported by more detailed studies about Landscape, the existing Güterstrasse 8 building, and Infrastructure.

On the site of around 22’000 sqm, 500-600 people will live and a further 200-250 people work upon completion. In total, 40’000 square meters of floor space will be realised on the site, which corresponds to a utilisation factor of 1.8. This means that the area will be built up with approximately double the density of the surrounding neighbourhoods. To serve this increased population, a supermarket as well as a kindergarten will also be realised. Currently, the former waste incineration plant is due for demolition.

A building that was originally not part of the waste incineration site will be re-used – the former storehouse of the Tobler Chocolate Factory, built in 1966. The high, deep spaces of this robustly constructed building have ideal preconditions for an uncomplicated transformation. Its upper storeys will mainly be converted into apartments in a large variety of types.

All buildings are grouped around a central courtyard. It will be enlivened both by the inhabitants of the area and the quarter, continuing the logic of the broad, mixed-use streets that can be found in the neighbouring industrial area.
