As part of a PRIN-PNRR research project on new ways of co-living, this essay critically examines the AndreasGärten residential and service complex in the heart of Erfurt, promoted and managed by the Protestant association Johanniter-UnfallHilfe, one of the largest humanitarian organizations in Europe. The association commissioned Dorschner Kahl Architekten of Leipzig and Heine Mildner Architekten of Dresden, winners of a competition announced in 2015, to design housing and services for a small multigenerational community. The analysis highlights the most innovative feature of the proposed collective living model: that is to say the programmatic indeterminacy of the relationship between the private and public spheres. All the apartments, in fact, face outwards, specifically towards a central courtyard freely accessible to citizens, through continuous loggias along which residents are free to choose whether and how to define or bound their own space from that of their neighbors.
Nell’ambito di una ricerca PRIN-PNRR sulle nuove forme del vivere insieme, l’articolo illustra criticamente il complesso di residenze e servizi AndreasGärten, nel cuore della città di Erfurt, promosso e gestito dall’associazione protestante Johanniter-UnfallHilfe, una delle più grandi organizzazioni umanitarie in Europa, la quale ha affidato agli studi Dorschner Kahl Architekten di Lipsia e Heine Mildner Architekten di Dresda, vincitori di un concorso bandito nel 2015, l’incarico di realizzare alloggi e servizi per una piccola comunità multigenerazionale. L’analisi fa emergere l’aspetto più innovativo del modello di vita collettiva proposto: vale a dire la programmatica indeterminatezza del rapporto tra la sfera privata e quella pubblica; tutti gli alloggi, infatti, si affacciano verso l’esterno, in particolare verso una corte centrale liberamente attraversabile dai cittadini, tramite loggiati continui lungo i quali i residenti sono liberi di scegliere se e come definire o confinare il proprio spazio rispetto a quello del vicino.

Abstract
As part of a PRIN-PNRR research project on new ways of co-living, this essay critically examines the AndreasGärten residential and service complex in the heart of Erfurt, promoted and managed by the Protestant association Johanniter-UnfallHilfe, one of the largest humanitarian organizations in Europe. The association commissioned Dorschner Kahl Architekten of Leipzig and Heine Mildner Architekten of Dresden, winners of a competition announced in 2015, to design housing and services for a small multigenerational community. The analysis highlights the most innovative feature of the proposed collective living model: that is to say the programmatic indeterminacy of the relationship between the private and public spheres. All the apartments, in fact, face outwards, specifically towards a central courtyard freely accessible to citizens, through continuous loggias along which residents are free to choose whether and how to define or bound their own space from that of their neighbors.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
