Die wachsenden Häuser von Wetzelsdorf

„It seemed impressive in a deeper conceptual way of an architectural project because it did something big in a literal sense but by a lot of situational constructed moments of a house. Non-sequential, they could have been done in any order but they were all additive to create a different relationship to the house itself, to the original one, in a more free-spirited action-art type of way of producing architecture. The project reminded me of a more exaggerated version of Frank Gereys own residence that added constructed elements to expand it in small ways and this does it in larger programmatic ways and more consistently." (Zitat: Paul Preissner)

Modellprojekt Rösselmühle.
Prinzipien für eine chancengerechte und
regenerative Stadt(teil)entwicklung im Gries

„The project addresses the very complex urban problem from the multitude of point of views showing great awareness of the sociological complexity of the problem and linking these to a very precise set of urban and architectural intervention. " (Zitat: Pier Paolo Tamburelli)

Ein Umbau. Adaption eines Bestandsgebäudes – feministische Kritik an bestehenden baulichen
und gesellschaftlichen Strukturen

„We split the prize into two second prizes. The project seemed provocative in that it took on the kind of contemporary problem of identity sorting – the feminist project of what space is meant for whom? What space is meant for women and what space is meant for men and understood that historically that was a kind of delineation of space determined by men and looked to challenged that but instead of challenging it in maybe a conventional way by producing unconventional feminist space to kind of take the initial read which was the public space was for the man and the domestic space was for the woman and to produce within a renovation a new feminist domestic space that is not mono-programmed, that is varied or diverse in terms of what happens within it, but does not just redecorate the interior of it but reguts and removes portions of the house. It is both gentle and aggressive simultaneously. " (Zitat: Paul Preissner)

Valentin Moser
Die Summe Einzelner Teile.
Kulturelle Neubetrachtung historischer Baustrukturen

„Das Projekt wurde ausgezeichnet, weil es sich nicht nur mit dem Leerstand am Land beschäftigt sondern diesen mit hybriden Nutzungen überlagert und erweitert. Das Projekt bildet mit einem mutigen Neubau aber auch mit sensiblen Umgang mit dem Bestand ein bemerkenswertes und vielseitiges Ensemble. " (Zitat: Ulrike Tinnacher)

Angelika Hinterbrandner
Alexander Klein. Neuer Standard im Wohnungsbau

„The project is a historical research of the work of Alexander Klein. We believe that it is an important investigation in the field of housing is not just design but involves also theoretical and historical research and we think it is important to rediscover the potential of some experiences of the past. In that sense Alexander Klein is one the most radical and for this reason the most interesting in this field. " (Zitat: Pier Paolo Tamburelli)

Pappmaché. From Paper to
Sustainable Architecture Material

„Es ist ein sehr fokussiertes Projekt, das sich im Detail mit dem Produkt Papier und seinem nachhaltigen Einsatz als architektonisches Material beschäftigt. Wir würdigen den experimentellen und unkonventionellen Zugang dieser Arbeit. " (Zitat: Ulrike Tinnacher)

Dennis Baumgartner
simple et radical. — Wie Bruchstellen uns
definieren und wie wir damit umgehen. Ein
Versuch am Beispiel der Haunoldmühle

„The prize was awarded to Dennis Baumgartner for a project that fits the prize in a weird or free-spirited sense that looks to make a renovation of an existing building in a way that doesn’t make it clean but doesn’t just romanticize the decay of the historic project but produces entirely new objects within the building that entirely fixes to originality some of the decay and that preserve some of the other looseness of the historic structure so that they all work together as a new reflection as a preservation of the project at the same time. " (Zitat: Paul Preissner)
