dgj071 Minihaus I - Minimum Impact House, Frankfurt am Main, D , 2008
English
Minimum-Impact-House is a holistic approach for the reduction of the overall-impact of residential housing by creating a new type of residential house by densifying the city centre. In the design project a prototype mini-house has been developed to explore the potential of so far uninhabitable urban niches. A triangular site of only 29sqm was chosen to built a Mini-house in size comparable to a family house of 150sqm. This strategy avoids the further use of land and the need of building of new infrastructure like streets and public buildings. The city centre is denser an environment so that the inhabitants won’t to travel so often to work, shopping, education, or cultural events.
In a research project the prototype was compared to a typical suburban house. A life-cycle-analysis quantified the amounts of energy, material, and investment for the construction, and consumed during an estimated life-span of the buildings of 50 years. The analysis for which a software was developed was also used as a design-tool for optimising the prototype-building in terms of energy-consumption, construction, and materials. For the building construction renewable resources, mainly timbre, had been used which reduces the energy content and emissions.

Das Minimum Impact House wurde von einem Verbundforschungsprojekt begleitet mit Drexler Guinand Jauslin Architekten GmbH und Fachgebiet Entwerfen und Energieeffizientes Bauen Prof. Manfred Hegger der TU Darmstadt. Gefördert von der Deutschen Bundesstiftung Umwelt DBU.
Das Minihaus ist ein Prototyp für innerstädtische Nachverdichtung. Statt einer Zersiedlung der Landschaft zur Schaffung von Wohnraums können Nischen und Restflächen in der Stadt genutzt werden. So wird die bestehende Infrastruktur besser ausgelastet und das sozio-kulturelle Gefüge der Stadt gestärkt.
Durch eine umfassende Ökobilanzierung wurde das Gebäude ganzheitlich optimiert. Dabei wurde sowohl die Herstellung (Holzbauweise, natürliche nachwachsende Ressourcen) als auch der Betrieb (Passivhaus-Standard, erneuerbare Energien) als auch Instandhaltung und Rückbau analysiert.
Makro-ökonomisch werden durch den geringen Landverbrauch und die Vermeidung von Investitionskosten in Straßen, Leitungen, öffentliche Gebäude vermieden. Bei dem Gebäude wurden durch geringe Betriebkosten und günstige Finanzierung (KFW40) die Lebenszykluskosten optimiert.

The Slessor Gardens, in the main parkland of Dundee’s new central waterfront area, is 10,738sqm in size and designed to be a multi-functional space with capacity to host large events.
The team at Optimised Environments focused on developing an area which people could interact with and explore. The design of the space began with the team looking into the influences that Dundee has had on the world. The impact on Medical Science, the fruit farming and jam industry and the trade routes which took Dundee around the world. The overall design had a focus on history, allowing visitors to uncover the story of Dundee as they wander through the gardens.
Nick Tolley, one of the lead designers on the project, highlighted that marrying the hard landscaping with the planting is always the key to success. The team work with contemporary materials alongside more traditional methods, allowing them to explore natural systems and forms as well as geometric patterns, which all feeds into the overall look of the space.
4 small plots are located to the east and 4 are located to the west sides of the central grassed area. These plots are to contain a series of themed gardens with the others destined to become pavilions and a children’s play area. Four gardens are themed to reflect Dundee’s historic global connections: The Baltic States, Caribbean, Asia and the Americas and a further four reflect key local connections and industries: The Natural Sciences, Health, Food production and Literature. The formation of these Gardens was completed in June and July 2016.
The WoodBlocX Landscaping team working with Nick and Optimised Environment came up with a series of planters that would allow them to showcase the edible and medical gardens. The large planters built for the edible garden have 3 separate sections allowing for a variety of soil conditions to be created, and give the planting the best possible base. Our team were able to take the planters from design to delivery in only a matter of weeks helping to keep the project on track and on time.

Car tuning is the modification of a car to optimise it for a different set of performance requirements from those it was originally designed to meet. Most commonly this is higher engine performance and dynamic handling characteristics but cars may also be altered to provide better fuel economy, or smoother response. The goal when tuning is the improvement of a vehicle's overall performance in response to the user's needs. Often, tuning is done at the expense of emissions performance, component reliability and occupant comfort.
As a culture has grown around modified cars the term tuning has grown to encompass the cosmetic and stylistic changes owners make to personalize their vehicles. These changes can range from functional modifications designed to improve the performance or functionality of the car, to visual modifications which alter the aesthetics of the car and, in the case of certain mods, sometimes be detrimental to the performance or functionality of the car.

Lorelay is a versatile vessel optimised for the execution of small and medium diameter pipeline projects of any length in unlimited water depths, and for associated work such as the installation of risers and subsea protection frames.
As the world’s first pipelay vessel to operate on full dynamic positioning (DP), Lorelay represented a new generation of offshore pipelaying vessel.
Her ship shape allows for a high transit speed, while a large pipe storage capacity means she is much less dependent on offshore pipe supply. Due to her excellent workability, Lorelay has made her mark worldwide.
Moored beside the Pioneering Spirit she looks like a small vessel although she's 236 meters over all

The formation of these Gardens was completed in June and July 2016.
The WoodBlocX Landscaping team working with Nick and Optimised Environment came up with a series of planters that would allow them to showcase the edible and medical gardens. The large planters built for the edible garden have 3 separate sections allowing for a variety of soil conditions to be created, and give the planting the best possible base. Our team were able to take the planters from design to delivery in only a matter of weeks helping to keep the project on track and on time.
