Han Slawik
Han Slawik (* 1944 as Hanfried Slawik) is a German engineer and architect who primarily designs container buildings and is considered a pioneer of container architecture in Europe.
Career
In the 1960s, Hanfried Slawik, as he was called until 1982, completed an apprenticeship as a bricklayer . He then studied at the engineering school for civil engineering in Berlin and graduated in 1966 as an engineer. In 1973 he completed his architecture diploma at the Technical University of Braunschweig . From 1972 to 1977 he worked for various architectural offices in Braunschweig . He then worked as a research assistant at the University of Dortmund until 1984 . In 1982 Han Slawik founded the architecture office “Studio voor architectuur en techniek - architech” in Amsterdam , which he moved to Almere in 1992 , Hanover in 2002 and Bad Bentheim in 2015with base in Amsterdam. From 1984 to 1994 Slawik was professor for building construction and design at the Coburg University of Applied Sciences . This was followed by an appointment as professor for design and construction at the Leibniz University of Hanover . There he founded the teaching and research area “Experimental Design and Construction” in 2003. Han Slawik retired on September 30, 2009 in Hanover . He continues to work as an architect and consultant in Germany and the Netherlands. He also gives lectures on container architecture and modular construction .

Han Slawik has been involved in container architecture since he designed a residential building made from sea containers in 1986 . His design, called Campus, was a contribution to the temporary living architecture competition in Almere in the Netherlands from 1988 to 1992 and was the first steel container house in Europe.
Han Slawik says about his work:
- “I want to show that architecturally sophisticated solutions are possible with containers”.
Developed with his staff Slawik 2007 copyright protected modular Rahmenbausystem for containment built, which lined up using empty frame containers such as building blocks and can be stacked. Thanks to the frame construction, double walls can be avoided and a facade can be installed on the outside, which achieves the standard of conventional buildings in terms of thermal insulation.
Han Slawik designs buildings from containers, such as student dormitories , floating youth hostels , mobile glass exhibition rooms, penthouses and mini single-family houses . With his comparatively small architecture firm “architech” he designed a large number of projects. Few of them were realized; However, they are considered to be the initial spark, prototypes and pacemakers for modular construction and container architecture.
In 2008, Han Slawik designed a floating house for the international building exhibition in Fürst-Pückler-Land . An experimental project was the “HomeBox” developed for residential purposes in wood construction with the dimensions of an internationally standardized freight container, for which Slawik received the BDA Lower Saxony Prize in 2009 . With the “HomeBox” he took part in a building exhibition in the Netherlands on tiny housing in 2016 and 2017 .
In addition to container architecture, Han Slawik deals with the renovation and maintenance of old buildings in order to avoid project blindness and loss of scale. Among other things, he renovated properties in Amsterdam, Wolfenbüttel and Hanover. There he had acquired the Calenberger Höfchen , a listed half-timbered ensemble, in the Calenberger Neustadt in 2000 . The building was built before 1685 and is one of the four oldest half-timbered buildings in the city. Slawik renovated the building complex consisting of the front, middle and rear building with the approval of the local monument protection authority from 2008 to 2014 for 1.4 million euros; according to him, "a completely uneconomical project."
In 2004 Slawik took part in the 9th Venice International Architecture Biennale with the container project "bed-by-night" , in 2011 with the floating modular building " IBA Dock " at the architecture biennale of the São Paulo Biennale and in 2016 with the "HomeBox" at the architecture exhibition "Living Spaces today" in Havana .
