Herbert Eichholzer Awards 2013
In the name of this year’s student prize “OCCUPY: ROOFSCAPE” – Performative Urbanism GRAZ comes the call to think of political engagement and architecture together, not only to create architectural form-related spaces, but also to bring into discussion the social fabric of the neighborhood in relation to education and the lived environment.
As a place with high potential for the development of both ecologically and socially sustainable behavior in our society, the BG/BRG & MG Dreihackengasse school in Graz – developed by TEAM A Architekten in the 1970s with particular attention to the fallow roofscape of the facility – was selected for this project.
