abstract: | This paper is a study of light-transmissive photovoltaic (LTPV) and the state of the art of their integration into buildings and non-building structures. LTPV are truly multifunctional and highly architectural elements, surpassing the individual materials' characteristics. From a corpus of ~500 built examples that have been realised since 1982 throughout the world, 111 projects, rich in variety, were selected. Based on an analysis of the selected projects, the key design parameters for LTPV and their architectural integration were established. A Six-Level-Matrix as a basis for comparison and categorisation, as well as a reference for further application and PV development, is suggested. A case study illustrates the narrative and explanatory potential for comparative analysis. Findings indicate a number of innovative solutions that extend the possibilities for integration in an architectural and aesthetically pleasing way. |

competition brief: |
Für das ehemalige Kasernenareal am nördlichen Rand der Kulturstadt Weimar sind architektonische Visionen zu entwickeln, die die Potenziale der Randstadt in der Region erschließen. Der
Medienstandort Erfurt, die Hochtechnologie in Jena und die Kulturstadt Weimar mit der Bauhaus-Universität und ihrer „Ausgründerszene“ bieten Anlass und Rahmen für die Bewertung und
Widmung des Areals. Ziel ist die Entwicklung eines Quartiers mit städtischen Bauformen, die den neueren Entwicklungen der Arbeitswelt in Form einer hohen Integrationsmöglichkeit Rechnung tragen. Ebenso sollen Lösungen für zeitgemäße und flexible Angebote an die mit sozialen Veränderungen sich wandelnden Familienformen gefunden werden. |
