Call for Submissions: Otto Wagner Städtebaupreis 2007
The Fifth Otto Wagner Städtebaupreis

Already for the fifth time, at three yearly intervals, the Österreichische Postsparkasse in cooperation with the Architekturzentrum Wien is awarding the Otto Wagner Städtebaupreis for urban development projects and developments completed in Austria that provide a fundamental and exceptional contribution to urban culture in this country.

Target and Focus
Urban development projects are sought for the Otto Wagner Städtebaupreis 2007 that engage offensively and innovatively with the problems facing urban development for a society in permanent transition. The projects should address the basic issue of the redefinition of urban space and the design and development of areas where different functions and ways of living are brought together., the urban development should play a mediatory role in this context and provide a condensification of the framework for life in the future.

Jury
The chair of the jury each three years is a major international representative for the current discussion on architecture and urban space. Following Jacques Herzog (1995), Sir Norman Foster (1998), Nicholas Grimshaw (2001) and Dominique Perrault (2004), this time we have been able to give the chair of the jury to David Chipperfield. He will explain his own theoretical position in a lecture at the Österreichische Postsparkasse, so providing his own contribution to the furthering of urban development – as does the winning project.

The Jury
David Chipperfield, architect, London, chairperson
Rudolf Schicker, Executive City Councillor of Vienna for Urban Development, Traffic and Transport
Christoph Lammerhuber, pool Architektur ZT GmbH
Kabelwerk, winner of the Otto Wagner Städtebaupreis 2004
Stephan Koren, managing director, Österreichische Postsparkasse
Dietmar Steiner, director, Architekturzentrum Wien

The Prize and the Award Ceremony
Total prize money of EUR 15,000.- is to be awarded entirely at the jury's discretion. The jury's decision is final and binding. The winning project and further honoured projects are being presented in the main cashiers' hall of the Postal Savings Bank. The official award ceremony is to be held at the opening of the exhibition on 5 November 2007.
