Press / Information: Michael Hammerschmid P ++43 1 522 31 15 - 23 F ++43 1 522 31 17 E-Mail: press@azw.at With emerging architecture [1] - Kommende Architektur [1] the Architekturzentrum Wien (AZW) is launching a series of exhibitions and publications which is to become a fixture in the AZW diary. Once a year an exhibition and the catalogue published to coincide are to introduce relevant tendencies and architectural concepts by 10 Austrian architects' studios to a broader public. This year, in addition to the exhibition and the accompanying catalogue, a housing competition is being held -- organised by the Mischek-Unternehmensgruppe -- in which the "emerging architects" are participating. Approximately 300 apartments are required in the brief for a site in Vienna-Kaiser-Ebersdorf, where the best of these architects' submitted designs are to be realised. The studios represented in this exhibition have been chosen from the viewpoint of a necessary architecture emerging on a global level. Projects already realised are to provide documentation of the power and energy of this emerging architecture. Projects alone are not enough and just being 'young' is no merit in itself. It is not the conditions of the mainstream with motif-orientated superficiality and short-circuited functionalism, but durability, contextual planning and a new orientation in the composition that are in the foreground. Emerging architecture will be evaluated on its solutions for social issues, those of type and energy consumption. The characteristics lie in well-founded, innovative and self-sufficient perspectives which can also be understood as more than mere regional impulses. The exhibition has been conceived as a compact touring show, with 10 specially produced mobile transport and presentation boxes which could go on a tour of architecture forums in Austria and other countries. Alongside the continuity involved in decking out the boxes each year with the work of 10 new architects' studios, in the future a view of emerging architecture beyond the borders of Austria is planned. A bilingual German/English catalogue is to be presented on the occasion of the opening of the exhibition. Each architects' studio is to have 24 detachable pages at their disposal which they can subsequently use as portfolios for their own representation on an international level. On October 18th, 2000, towards the end of the run of the exhibition, the results of the competition are to be announced and the prize-giving ceremony is to be held. Four wednesday evenings are devoted to the exhibition Kommende Architektur [1] - emerging architecture [1]. The situation of young architects' studios is to be analysed beyond the hype on the basis of concrete issues: Is the development of a generation merely repeating itself, or are the new conditions leading to new strategies? wednesdays 12 September 27, 2000, 7:00 P.M., Architekturzentrum Wien Following the Tradition On the basis of two major Austrian architecture traditions, the Vorarlberger Baukünstler and the Grazer Schule (School), a discussion is to be held on how the relationship between new architecture and its predecessors is shaped. Is the heritage being carried further, is a demarcation necessary, or building independent of local influences? wednesdays 13 October 04, 2000, 7:00 P.M., Architekturzentrum Wien Competitions as Opportunities or Hurdles? Architecture competitions are generally considered to be an opportunity for younger, unknown architects to make a name for themselves and to finally attain lucrative briefs. But what is the reality of the situation? How are jurors selected, how do they make their decisions, and for whom do they decide? Are competitions a means of quality contention or a senseless waste of productive potential? wednesdays 14 October 11, 2000, 7:00 P.M., Architekturzentrum Wien Young Architects in Croatia and Austria The Presentation of the new Croatian architecture journal ORIS is providing the opportunity to make a comparison between the emerging architecture scenes in Austria and Croatia, to discern the similarities and differences as well as to put an end to the long-lasting reluctance to look (south)eastwards. wednesdays 15 October 18, 2000, 7:00 P.M., Architekturzentrum Wien Emerging Architects: Housing Development in Vienna The Viennese society of developers and investors Mischek-Wiener Heim has invited the ten participants in the exhibition emerging architecture [1] to enter a competition for the realisation of a housing development in Vienna. The results of the competition are to be presented to the public at this soirée. |
