The Upper Austrian architecture prize Daidalos was awarded for the sixth time on Thursday evening in the Linz Promenade Galleries. It was an exciting event and an atmospheric celebration.
From 75 submissions, the jury nominated 14 projects in two categories and for a special prize. The jury consisted of Heidi Pretterhofer, Viennese architect and building culture professor in Linz, the Graz architect Christian Tabernig and OÖN architecture critic Georg Wilbertz.
The winners of the Daidalos 2024: the Kaltenbacher and Steinbauer offices with the renovation of Haus Havanna in the Linz tobacco factory, the Dunkelschwarz office with the new construction of the Schafbergbahn valley station in St. Wolfgang and Schremmer-Jell with the renovation and conversion of the cloth factory in Linz- meadows.
What would Behrens have done?
“There is a great architecture and competition culture here in Upper Austria,” said Peter Salem from Kaltenbacher from Lower Austria: “We were warmly welcomed and were intensively busy for three and a half years.” When the tobacco factory was being renovated, people thought about it: “What would Peter Behrens (planner of the tobacco factory almost 100 years ago, note) have done if he were to turn the tobacco warehouse into an office building?”
