The Infobox was opened in October 1995 on Potsdamer Platz and soon became a favorite of the public.
Architects: Schneider+ Schumacher
Classic reading on
In groups of two you elaborate the following 2 case studies; you will collect data-information, through the web or library. All necessary information is to be textually & visually displayed.
A) INFOBOX
1. Infobox site: the Potsdamer Platz and its recent history; urban aspects; siting of the Infobox; access to the Infobox;
2. Infobox program: spatial distribution of program (axonometric diagram); plans (scale 1:200, 1/16”); infrastructure, circulation (axonometric diagram);
3. Infobox structure: the main structural skeleton; materials used; footings; construction technique; manufacturing technique; (scale 1:200, 1/16”);
4. Infobox skin: cladding materials; façade layers, structural section of skin (axonometric diagram); construction details; elevations (scale 1:200, 1/16”);
B) MOBILE CONTAINER
5. construction site and info building/ demountable mobile containers: typology and examples; You should focus on general dimensions of the typically small building, on floor height (analyze the structure-skeleton with a diagram), on depth and width, and how it is manufactured and transported to the site; analysis of material, function and form; collect industry brochures; (scale 1:100, 1/8”)

The collected information is to be printed (format: A3, 11x17”) for pinup, and to be made available for the class on the webserver.
Materials: Each student is supposed to have an appropriate scale in metrics!
