aspern INTERNATIONAL: The Jury's Decision In a cooperation by the Architekturzentrum Wien with the Wien 3420 Aspern Development AG an invited competition was held for concepts for a site in aspern Vienna's Urban Lakeside, as a contribution to the Vienna Biennale 2015: Ideas for Change. Ideas were sought for positive change and new forms for functionally neutral buildings. The aim of the competition was to develop alternative approaches to the architecture of the city, to encourage discussion about the city's future and its coherence. Seven architectural offices from across Europe entered, and presented their projects on 20 June at a public symposium in the Az W. The jury convened following the presentations, on 22 June. In the comparative study of the projects submitted, which were without exception on a high level architecturally and as urban developments, the jury reached the following conclusion: The projects by Atelier Kempe Thill Architects and Planners, by Helen & Hard, and by Hild und K Architekten were recommended for realisation. All three projects responded best and in a very individual manner to the specified requirements, according to the jury's report. The drive to try new directions in the development of a multifunctional town house is most clearly evident here. These are three strong and clear proposals, credible in architectural approach and in their functional neutrality, and would contribute added value to the overall urban development. The project by Cino Zucchi Architetti (with ifdesign) was also recommended for further development. This design might not have achieved the consistency of the abovementioned projects in responding to the specified requirements but was convincing for its other qualities. All seven projects submitted to the competition are on display until 24 August at the Architekturzentrum Wien, Halle F3. The exhibition is subsequently moving on to aspern Vienna's Urban Lakeside, and is open to the public from 28 August to 4 October at the aspern IQ Technology Centre.
