BIM projects winter term 19/20
In order to provide a place for retreat, contemplation, study and workshops, as well as team-building events for employees of the TUM, it has been decided that the TUM should get its own Alpine Retreat. This Retreat is to be located at the Wendelstein. The Wendelstein is an 1838m high summit that is part of the Bavarian Alps. Due to its elevated position, it provides extensive views but also intense exposure to sun and weather. The summit area is accessible by cable car from Bayrischzell and rack railway from Brannenburg. The building area lies below the summit and is reachable by foot via narrow trails or skiing in winter.
The new building should house accommodation for about 25 people and include a multifunctional meeting area. It should be suited to accommodate seminars or team-building workshops for academic institutions of the TUM. The challenge will be to fit the building into the surroundings, minimize impact on the environment, to develop an efficient construction method that can be applied in this environment and find ways of self-sufficient energy and waste management. A further challenge will involve the transportation of material to the building site.
