Sketchbook Prize

© KOEN, TU Graz

The annual KOEN Sketchbook Prize was awarded to first-year students at the Faculty of Architecture’s summer exhibition. The sketchbook has been used from the very beginning as an integral element of the architectural studies program. It reflects one of our primary concerns: the understanding that the making of architecture is a process. The books record and structure thoughts in both visual and written form and ultimately become chronicles of individual design processes and student life in the first year of study. The submissions included notebooks from the first two semesters, filled with hand-drawn sketches during the courses “Construction,” “Form and Design,” and throughout the excursion to Milan. The winners were delighted to receive architectural publications sponsored by the House of Architecture (HDA) and new, as of yet unfilled sketchbooks sponsored by Kaspar Harnisch.

Winners: Daniel Unterrainer (1st prize), Dide Denisa (2nd prize), Kateryna Kalinichenko (2nd prize), Alina Karen (2nd prize), Damian Bobeica (3rd prize), Hana Hamidović (3rd prize), Borbála Kiszely (3rd prize), Stefan Krenn (3rd prize) Shortlisted: Dania-Dumitrita Berinde, Emma Eichholzer, Janka Enikő Dénes, Maja Krishnan, Nele Liß, Anna Mayr, Anna Moretti, Thomas Neuhofer, Leonardo Novaković, Theresa Sackl-Gutruf, Lewin Schrag, Ana-Maria Szentpeteri-Blaj, Oskar Traut
