Die Tempelhof Schraube Part 1 Project 2019 Samantha Dorrity De Montfort University | UK The craftsmanship that goes into making model boats and airplanes is an art which is often overlooked, nothing more than a hobby confined to a garden shed. Die Tempelhof Schraube celebrates creativity by collating communities, responding inventively to accessibility and encouraging learning through the use of working educational spaces.The initial design developed from irrational shapes which were abstracted from images relating back to the building’s sole purpose: ‘the working shed’. These irrational forms transitioned into conceptual sections, rationalised through the use of the ‘Programme Plan Diagram’. The ‘PPD’ is an algorithm that calculates the number of functional spaces required and their corresponding areas using the following variables; machinery, materials, components, and workshop facilities. The main architectural focus comes from an engineering perspective. A 28m tall Archimedes screw powers a spiral elevator that flows throughout the Vantablack exhibition space, using the art of kinetic energy to transfer surrounding pond water throughout the building. The transfer of water allows the surrounding landscape to become one with the architecture. The idea of kinetic energy stimulating the architectural response was derived from the craftmanship in making the Pendulum Harmonograph - a drawing machine invented by Hugh Blackburn.
