Valeria Silva — Wed, 03 Dec 2025 12:00:00 +0000

Urban planning. A secondary school for 1000 pupils was to be founded and built for the newly developed Reininghaus district. The 4-storey development of the AHS Reininghaus extends in an L-shape along the streets Am Steinfeld and Margarethe-SchütteLihotzky-Straße and forms the noise-protecting, north-eastern end of Quartier 12. The central stepping towards the south-west fragments the compact, L-shaped building mass, creating a striking sequence of terrace incisions.

Smart City Graz Square / Gangoly & Kristiner Architekten

Hadir Al Koshta — Thu, 13 Nov 2025 03:00:00 +0000

Current developments show that smartness cannot only be a technology-driven urban development. This may answer technical questions of a smart future, but the social and societal aspects of living together are generally not addressed. The social compatibility of technological development, which also includes housing that meets the needs and financial possibilities of users, falls by the wayside, although this claim is repeatedly formulated.

University of Graz Library / Atelier Thomas Pucher

Andreas Luco — Thu, 23 Mar 2023 10:00:00 +0000

The heart of the university campus. The redesign has given the library a completely new look, characterised predominantly by the two-storey glass-fronted platform that juts out from the top of the historic reading room, originally built in 1895. Demolishing the 1970s-built extension uncovered the historic, listed façade on the north side of the library, which now has a large covered area in front of it. The effect of this – in regard to the urban development of the centre of the en-tire campus – was a major factor in the jury’s decision.

C&P Corporate Headquarters / INNOCAD

Daniel Tapia — Tue, 09 Jun 2020 07:00:00 +0000

A real estate company’s corporate headquarters, which is located at the highest traffic entrance to Graz, Austria, brings clarity and openness to a flat transition area as a new landmark in this industrial district. Additionally, the main goal was to create an authentic example of “Build Identity” for a young company in context within an emerging quarter by transforming their brand icon, contextually and formally, consistently throughout the building elevation. The concept, CUBEND, translates holistically the firm’s values by unifying the terms “cube” – relating to wholeness and persistence – plus “bend,” standing for movement and individuality. Thus, creating a hybrid of an identity- enhancing, activity based, and sustainable environment. The building’s surface visibly reveals the interaction between people and spaces, as well as their needs in contrast to sealed industrial structures of the surrounding neighborhood.
