22/10/2024

On October 15, 2024 the Superscape 2024 was awarded to Croatian architect for her project „the Breathing Ground. (sub)terranean architecture as an environmental instrument” at a festive ceremony hosted by organisers WBV-GPA and Lenikus Immobilien at .

For the panel discussion moderator Franziska Leeb () was joined by Michael Gehbauer (WBV-GPA) and Martin Lenikus (Lenikus Immobilien) as well as two of the jury members Anna-Vera Deinhammer (.deinamight) and Thomas Romm.

We would like to thank the organisers WBV-GPA and Lenikus Immobilien, , and the Superscape jurors for their commitment and support! And a big applause and warm congratulations to this year’s winner of the main prize as well as to all shortlist participants!

📣 And the winner of Superscape 2024 is: »the Breathing Ground. (sub)terranean architecture as an environmental instrument« by Anna Orbanic! The Croatian architect convinced the jury with her submission for this years’ topic “FORM FOLLOWS ENVIRONMENT – Regenerative architecture”.

The project explores breathing systems and develops a ground bound building for the time of extreme climate. The building – through its shape, physiology and vertical extends – is seen as a climatic apparatus, providing a new public space underground, where temperatures remain stable throughout the year.
Through the underground construction, excavated material will allow for the ground above to expand and form wind exposed towers. As the whole structure grows, it creates an underground network (and above ground gardens) which provide a cooling effect for neighbouring buildings and the surrounding urban environment.

🟣 Yesterday, on October 15, 2024, the biennial Superscape prize – a joint venture of the non-profit developer WBV-GPA Wohnbauvereinigung für Privatangestellte and the private developer Lenikus Immobilien (in cooperation with Vienna Business Agency) for innovative and visionary architectural concepts – was awarded for the sixth time. The prize is endowed with € 10.000.

Our warmest congratulations to Anna Orbanic, winner of Superscape 2024!

🤩 Superscape is about to enter its sixth round! Stay tuned to find out more about the upcoming edition!

Population growth, increasing urbanisation and social change pose new challenges for architecture and urban planning. Reflecting these processes of change, Superscape opens a creative space for unconventional ideas meant to deliver new impulses to real-life architectural output and urban development. The biennial prize seeks to encourage innovative and visionary architectural concepts with an interdisciplinary approach that explore new models of living and strategies for inhabiting an urban context in the future.

A round of applause for the winner of this years Superscape award: The Grafted City by Alberto Roncelli! The italian architect conviced the jury with his take on this years topic GREEN SHIFT. Visions for sustainable living.

The project presents a critical reading of the anonymous spaces – the remains or leftovers – of today’s city and investigates a model of urban densification that is conceived to support the sustainable lifestyle of tomorrow. Especially the relevance of the subject for Vienna and many other European cities was striking. The jury statement points to Roncelli’s approach of raising awareness for the necessity of change, in the shape of both smaller and larger interventions.

During the award ceremony yesterday, October 17, 2022, the prize of 10.000 Euros was officially handed over!

We're thrilled to announce that the additional Superscape prize by the Wirtschaftsagentur Wien - Vienna Business Agency is going to:
GRETA – the neighbourhood living room ❗

👉From the 17 submissions from Vienna, the jury, together with the Vienna Business Agency, selected a winning project, which will subsequently receive exclusive coaching with a focus on the creative industries.

💡The idea behind this project is to break down the boundaries of public space and to draw this into the interior. How can this work? By repurposing vacant ground floor zones and handing the newly created spaces over to local people via a participative and open-ended process. GRETA exploits the potential of vacant spaces, transforming them in line with the needs of users. Space is handed back all year round in order to invigorate the neighbourhood and encourage consumption-free use and interaction – a reinterpretation of the public realm. The project was created by Antonia Karner, Luca Bierkle & Philippe-Maurice Hällmayer.

🟢 presents the ➡ Reduce, Reuse, Recycle -Realtime Participatory Living by Alexander Grasser and Alexandra Parger (AT)

♻️The vision of sustainable living and resilient architecture is based on a human-centered approach that empowers inhabitants to customize and adapt their spaces throughout the different stages of their lives, creating an open architecture where variation, inclusion, and complexity emerge through participation. Using a real-time computer-aided participatory design process, individual, customized design ideas and compatible components are transformed into a coherent, collective, open architecture that incorporates "reduce, reuse, and recycle" as design guidelines while adapting to the regional context.♻️

🌱🏢shortlist project #5 🏢🌱
The shortlist project “Stadtlandschaft” (urban landscape) by Nikola Pohl and Marie Waller (AT) develpos typologies that represent a synergy between nature and city. It creates a new, hybrid form of settlement, while retaining and reinforcing the identity and diversity of the existing landscape. This synergy applies layers of meaning to the finite resource of “land” with the aim of establishing a balance between the human and natural worlds. Constructional “catalysts” amongst these typologies stimulate the creation of sustainable cycles and of a stable, future-proof and high-quality habitat for humans, flora and fauna.

♻️🚶‍♀️Would you like to take the climate walk with me? 🚶‍♀️♻️
This shortlist project investigates the public potential of Vienna’s courtyards with the aim of creating new forms of access and benefitting from the diversity of these existing spaces. Such optimisation of the urban realm through the exploitation of previously unused residual spaces is also facilitated by the densification of existing buildings through the addition of extra storeys and elements – constructional interventions with a targeted climatic impact. The inhabitants of the densified city benefit from a climatically diverse range of external spaces, additional living space and new connections at the scale of the neighbourhood.

The third shortlist project is ➡The Upcycling Hub: New Spatialities for the Circular Cities by Alberto Roncelli and Nicole Vetttore (IT / CH)

🏭🍃New warehouses and factories for storing and repurposing building components are developing as essential spaces of the city's circular economy network.

🏭🍃The Upcycling Hub investigates the possibility of extending the function of these
places beyond their logistical purpose, towards a role as social aggregators and local marketplaces. The project aims to make the circular economy process visible, accessible and desirable through an architecture that supports not only networks of things, but also networks of people.

Take a look at all six innovative and visionary shortlist projects towards a GREEN SHIFT on our website!

👉A round of applause for the second shortlist project of : The Grafted City by Alberto Roncelli (IT)

♻️“The future city, like its economy, cannot afford leftovers.”♻️

The project proposes a critical reading of the unnamed spaces of the contemporary city - the leftovers - investigating a model of urban densification to support future sustainable living. In particular, the Grafted City builds its landscape by reclaiming underused spaces and promoting the creation of a network of lightweight architectural experiments to serve, test and iterate new models of sustainability. The project aims to illustrate a new vocabulary for resilient urban architecture.

➡️Stay tuned for the upcoming projects we’ll be sharing!
