Only if we document and show up the situation precisely these correlations can be recognized. The gained awareness of raw material availability, resource consumption, emissions, global warming and climate targets must absolutely lead to action for dealing with the current situation.

Danijel Zorec's "The Living Bridges of Vienna" wins the first prize of the GAD Awards.

The diploma thesis, supervised by Univ-Prof. Roger Riewe, designs an urban cluster in the form of several habitable bridges over the Danube Island, connecting the two parts of the city. The design presents a subtle megastructure that brings together social and cultural aspects of the river and the city, and aims to respond positively to the fragile environment and integrate well into the existing urban fabric. A high quality of life, measured by human needs, should prevail over the excessive aesthetic and seductive monumental effect. At the same time, Danijel Zorec's work re-examines the typology of the habitable bridge and adapts it to the contemporary requirements of the city of Vienna.

The jury statement and more information about the project can be found on the GAD Awards 20 website.
