The jury panel has selected two students from the ‘Ion Mincu’ University of Architecture and Urbanism (UAUIM) in Bucharest as winners of the Troldtekt Award and a EUR 5,000 prize. Both the runners-up prize and the special prize went to students from Iran.
The idea behind the winning project – Troldtekt AIR – was to work with Troldtekt cement-bonded wood wool in many different thicknesses. When used this way, the acoustic panels can even be used to build a house.
The amount of air in Troldtekt cement-bonded wood can be increased and decreased to change the thickness. In this way, the natural material can serve many different functions and even be used to build entire houses. This is the winning idea behind ‘Troldtekt AIR' which has won the Troldtekt Award 2016.
