The Prize, the only one of its kind in Europe, has been renewed to promote debate about the future of European cities in the post-pandemic context.
Registration is open for submissions from 20 April to 17 May 2022. The conditions of entry and everything you need to know to take part in the Prize are available at www.publicspace.org
The Centre de Cultura Contemporània de Barcelona (CCCB) announces the eleventh European Prize for Urban Public Space. This biennial honorary contest, since 2000 acknowledging the best interventions to create, transform and recover public spaces in European cities, will recognise works carried out between 2018 and 2021.
In a context like today’s, where climate emergency and the crisis generated by the COVID-19 pandemic show that cities around the world are facing new climatic, technological and social challenges, the value of public space is greater than ever.
The Prize, which is the only one in Europe dedicated to public space and is awarded both to the authors of the project and its developers, aims to reflex the centrality of these issues and become an observatory of good practices that serves to come up with possible solutions to a future in which cities will have a primary role in defining society’s evolution.

The track record of an Award with a European and social vocation
The European Prize for Urban Public Space finds its natural space in the European city, which, despite its diversity, shares some common historical elements, such as human scale, compact design and the mixed nature of its uses. In this idea of European city, public space plays a key role in collective encounters, packed with social, economic and political values that cannot be taken apart from a physical design that accommodates them and makes them possible.

In the course of its 22 years of history and 10 editions, the Prize has had 2,206 entries and awarded 19 accolades and 35 special mentions.
The award-winning projects include such varied and relevant interventions as Barking Town Square (2008 Prize), a civic space for a suburban district in East London, which, after years of marginality, was crying out for the recovery of its lost identity and the creation of a meeting space for the new community. The open-air library in the German city of Magdeburg (2010 Prize), where, by means of a participatory process, the residents of a socially deprived neighbourhood managed to build a library with the prefabricated parts of a demolished building. The development of the old port of Marseille, France (2014 Prize), an intervention to free the docks of obstacles and vehicles, making the presence of leisure boats compatible with access for all citizens. The recovery of the irrigation channels in the thermal allotments in Caldes de Montbui, Spain (2016 Prize), giving a new lease of life to agricultural activity and creating a network of footpaths. And the renovation of Skanderbeg Square in Tirana (2018 Prize), a nerve centre in the Albanian capital and a symbolic place for the whole country that was reformed to promote and highlight its diversity, and which, with the planting of a green strip, could be a starting point for more greening in the city centre.
The Archive of the European Prize for Urban Public Space, an online consultable resource, brings together the best works submitted to the competition. With over 300 experiences in some 200 towns and cities, it is a permanent witness to and observatory of the construction and evolution of public spaces throughout Europe.

Rachel Whiteread at Gagosian Grosvenor Hill, London
March 8, 2021
RACHEL WHITEREAD
Internal Objects
April 12–June 5, 2021
20 Grosvenor Hill, London
__________
As an artist you create a language, you create depth to a language, you change the language.
—Rachel Whiteread
Gagosian is pleased to present Internal Objects, an exhibition of new work by Rachel Whiteread.
Whiteread employs the formal language of Minimalism, taking cues from its emphasis on geometric seriality, yet adds a quietly emotive aspect, maintaining an acute sensitivity to objects’ minor details and subtle markers of use and human irregularity. Over the past four decades, she has used the method of casting on both “low” materials such as concrete, resin, rubber, and plaster, as well as more traditional sculptural materials, such as bronze. Whether they take the form of monumental public installations or small, intimate objects, Whiteread’s forms imply hidden narratives and secret histories. She employs existing artifacts and spaces—including domestic objects like chairs and mattresses, interiors of rooms, and even, famously, an entire terraced house—to evoke and explore corporeal presence. Notably, her deft use of negative space can imply a thing that’s gone and been reincarnated.
In this exhibition, this suggestion of haunting, or ghostliness, is manifested in a different way. In Detached 1, Detached 2, and Detached 3 (all 2012), which she installed at Gagosian London in 2013, Whiteread rendered the empty interiors of three garden sheds in concrete and steel. Now, in Internal Objects, she has again created cabin-like structures but has, for the first time, eschewed casting existing objects in favor of building original ones. Poltergeist (2020) and D��ppelganger (2020–21), which will occupy the two main rooms of the Grosvenor Hill gallery, are made of found wood and metal that has been meticulously overpainted in white household paint.
While Whiteread’s sheds of a decade ago were closed, the new sculptures are open, inverting the formal system of their predecessors. They suggest that something catastrophic has occurred, allowing nature to take over. Whiteread was inspired by her reading of John Steinbeck, and by her experience of driving through the Mojave Desert and Death Valley in California after installing two sculptures in Joshua Tree National Park in 2017. Although the new works represent a departure from her established sculptural process, they continue her overall project in considering the intimate haptic qualities of the spaces that surround us.
The exhibition will also feature a new body of sculptures in resin and new works on paper, as well as recent cast sculptures in bronze, similar to works in bronze Whiteread made in 2000–10, and exhibited at a major retrospective at Tate Britain in 2017.
A fully illustrated catalogue, including a short story by John Steinbeck and an essay by Richard Calvocoressi, will be published to accompany the exhibition.
Rachel Whiteread was born in 1963 in London, where she lives and works. Collections include Tate, London; National Galleries of Scotland, Edinburgh; Centre Pompidou, Paris; Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; and Museum of Modern Art, New York. Exhibitions include Serpentine Gallery, London (2001); Transient Spaces, Deutsche Guggenheim, Berlin (2001); Walls, Doors, Floors and Stairs, Kunsthaus Bregenz, Austria (2005); Museo d’Arte Contemporanea Donnaregina, Naples (2007); Drawings, Hammer Museum, Los Angeles (2010); and Tate Britain, London (2017–18, traveled to Belvedere 21, Vienna; National Gallery of Art, Washington, DC; and Saint Louis Art Museum, through 2019). Public commissions include House (London, 1993), Water Tower (New York, 1998), Judenplatz Holocaust Memorial (Vienna, 2000), Monument (Trafalgar Square, London, 2001), US Embassy (Flat pack house) (2013–15, installed at the US Embassy, London, in 2018), and Cabin (Discovery Hill, Governors Island, New York, 2016). She is the recipient of the 1993 Turner Prize, among other awards.

2021-03-27 A Hike at Turkey Run State Park in Indiana
I left for Turkey Run at 9AM. I drove 3 hours down route 41 and got there shortly after 1PM ET. When I arrived there was a traffic jam at the entrance. I was furious. Livid. I parked and slammed my hand in rage against the steering wheel and almost left. I stayed. Fortunately, I didn’t look too long and hard at the map. It was a blur in my head and I couldn’t make sense of it. The reason I was fortunate is because I picked loop trail #7 and there were very few people on it. There were some really pretty mosses, ferns, and lichens to look at and photograph which distracted me from my earlier emotions. At some point I dropped the apple I was carrying. I had to jump down some rocks to get it back. I got upset with people because of all the scars of names and initials that were carved into tree trunks and I witnessed a family carving their names into a sandstone wall. The parents were actively encouraging this.
I really did enjoy the all of the colors and textures of the sandstone walls and the sunlight coming through the trees. As much as I was trying to center my thoughts and be in the moment my mind kept coming back to “why can’t people respect nature and enjoy it without having to put their mark on it?” Take pictures, fine. Ok. But don’t ruin it. At least I ran into one family that was trying to teach their toddler to be quiet on the hike and enjoy being silent in nature. Enjoying silence in nature is what I strive for. That’s why I came. I was hoping to recharge in solitude.
After the loop I walked back towards the area that the multitudes were going. All the trails on that side of the park converged at this one point by the suspension bridge. There were so many people and they were all maskless. I stopped dead in my tracks and I watched groups go up and down the stairs. I started to panic. I couldn’t move. I tried to get out of there and try a different way but the other path just led to a parking lot. I turned back around towards the stairs again. I was furious that there were so many people and that I couldn’t walk down those stairs without a problem like everybody else. I felt jealous that they all could be on this hike with the maskless multitudes and not have a problem with it. I felt selfish because I wanted to have the nature and solitude all to myself. There was a barrier. My legs wouldn’t move. I slammed my walking stick down and tried waiting for things to clear. I wondered why nobody else seemed to be panicking. I mean we are still in a pandemic, right? I made my own path. I climbed down the stones lining the top of the stairs. When I got to the bottom I followed trail #1 that when along the south side of the river. There was no way I would be able to make it across the bridge. I started breathing really fast and broke down crying.
I sat down to breathe and collect myself. It felt surreal to be having these issues in my mind on such a glorious day and everybody else walking by without a care in the world. I felt detached from reality. My mind was fighting this internal battle that no one knew about. The bandana I had covering half my face concealed the pain I was feeling. Eventually, I calmed down enough to look at the map and figure out where to go because I still wanted to hike. A guy cheerily yelled out directions to me. I wasn’t ready to communicate so I just muttered a thanks and waved to him. I ended up on trail #2 which was the best choice because there weren’t many people on that route. I came across some logs in the sun and I sat for a bit to breathe and meditate. It was needed but the spell was broken when some old dude in a beige photographer’s vest with a giant canon camera took a photo of me. I heard him walk up, stop, and click the shutter. I hope he wins a really good award for that photo of my sweaty butt.
I kept going. I walked over the Lusk Earth Fill. Then over the Narrows Covered Bridge to Salmon Lusk Home. I took a photo of Caroline Lusk’s grave stone but I had a feeling I should leave something as a thanks and left my crisp pink lady apple on her grave and told her to rest in peace. The apple smelled really nice and I hope she liked it. I back tracked at that point and started heading in the direction I came from because I was getting tired and felt exhausted from my freak out. I tried centering my mind by saying “everything is ok, everything in good” over and over again but I kept running what had happened earlier over and over again. At least around this time the stereo in my head kicked on and started playing David Bowie’s “Let’s Dance” on repeat.
I found myself on trail #2 again by Gypsy Gulch. I felt grateful that the multitudes were on the other side of the river. There were rocks to climb and a little waterfall. I felt good here. My mind was focused and I was able to be in the present for a little bit. It didn’t last long as I had to go back up the stairs. When I got close enough to see it I stopped in my tracks and had another panic attack. I waited until it seemed like there were less people and climbed back up the way I came down.
I made my way to my car to grab my journal and I sat down at a picnic table with a crow overhead. The sunlight seemed too bright, kids were screaming, and there was just so much noise. I couldn’t find a secluded spot anywhere so I sat in my car for a bit to reflect on what just happened to me. I left an hour earlier than I planned. I stopped at McDonalds in Attica and ate two McChicken sandwiches with no mayo and a large fry. I drove home.
As soon as I got back to my place I walked over to Goldfinger Brewing and bought a crowler of Vienna beer and consoled myself in an epsom salt bath while I drank. I found a tick crawling on me and obliterated it.
At least Gypsy Gulch and the sandstone canyons were pretty. Maybe some day I will give it another go as I only saw a small portion of the park. I definitely got my hopes and expectations up too high which were crushed immediately upon arrival. Hike time: 2 hours and 49 minutes. Distance: 5.5 miles.

Enrique Mazzola To Succeed Sir Andrew Davis As Lyric Opera Music Director
Photo Credit: Sarah Gabriele
As general director, president & CEO Anthony Freud announced today, big changes are underway at Lyric Opera of Chicago. Acclaimed and beloved music director Sir Andrew Davis plans to conclude his two-decade-long tenure at the end of the 2020/21 season. Eminent Italian conductor Enrique Mazzola has been named as Lyric’s music director designate, effective immediately, and will become Lyric’s music director beginning with the 2021/22 season. As Davis continues his substantial responsibilities while overseeing the transition, Mazzola looks forward to his role in leading Lyric through the next, dynamic chapter of the iconic company’s journey.
Mazzola and Davis joined Freud onstage for the announcement at the Lyric Opera House. Meanwhile, Davis is preparing to conduct Rossini’s The Barber of Seville to open Lyric’s 65th season on Sept. 28, and Mazzola will begin rehearsals next week for Verdi’s early masterpiece, Luisa Miller, which opens Oct. 12.
“I am thrilled that Enrique Mazzola has accepted Lyric’s invitation to become our next music director,” Freud says. “He has accrued a wealth of international experience in his career to date, and he is tremendously well liked and respected by the Lyric Opera Orchestra and Chorus. I am confident that our audiences and the people of Chicago will be captivated by his artistry, his charm and personality, as has certainly been the case during his initial engagements here in the past few years. I look forward with great excitement to working very closely with Enrique. Our artistic partnership has already started and is proving both very fruitful and extremely enjoyable.”
As Sir Andrew Davis enters his 20th season as Lyric’s music director and principal conductor, Freud notes, “Sir Andrew is on the podium for an astonishing six operas: The Barber of Seville, Tchaikovsky’s The Queen of Spades, and the four operas of our new Ring cycle. Since I came to Lyric in 2011, we have collaborated on an incredible two-dozen operas, nearly half of them new productions including one world premiere, not to mention several outstanding concerts.
Andrew’s contribution to opera in Chicago, and internationally, is immeasurable, and we all have much to anticipate over the next two years. I look forward to continuing our collaboration in the future.”
Says Davis, “I had actually intended to leave after the Ring cycles next spring, until Anthony persuaded me to stay for one more season! It will be hard to leave, but the timing is right for me and I am confident that Enrique will be a splendid music director for Lyric. I am greatly looking forward to working closely with him over the next two years. He’s a fine musician and someone who will continue the tradition of the Lyric Opera family. It’s fantastic to have two years together for our transition.”
“Lyric has been my artistic and personal home for more than two decades, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the opportunities that I have enjoyed here, professionally and personally. It continues to be a joy to work with our magnificent orchestra and chorus on such a wide range of repertoire, and to join forces with so many brilliant singers and directors in bringing great opera to the Lyric stage.”
Just prior to returning to Chicago in late August, Davis led a triumphant performance of Götterdämmerung at the Edinburgh Festival (with the stars of Lyric’s upcoming new production, Christine Goerke and Burkhard Fritz, in the leading roles).
Over the course of more than three decades, to date Davis has conducted 674 opera performances at Lyric, plus nine special concerts at the opera house, and the majority of Lyric’s free concerts in Millennium Park. The vast repertoire that he has led at Lyric encompasses operas by Berg, Berlioz, Bizet, Britten, Dvořák, Gilbert & Sullivan, Gounod, Janáček, Lehár, López, Massenet, Mozart, Mussorgsky, Poulenc, Puccini, Rossini, Strauss, Tchaikovsky, Verdi, Wagner, and Weinberg.
Chief conductor of the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra and conductor laureate of the Toronto Symphony Orchestra (he was previously that ensemble's principal conductor), Davis is also conductor laureate of the BBC Symphony Orchestra, conductor emeritus of the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic, and former music director of Glyndebourne Festival Opera. He has led performances at many of the world's most important opera houses, among them the Metropolitan Opera, La Scala, Covent Garden, the Bayreuth Festival, and the major companies of Munich, Paris, San Francisco, and Santa Fe. In addition to those ensembles previously mentioned, he has appeared with virtually every other internationally prominent orchestra including the Berlin Philharmonic, the Royal Concertgebouw, the Rotterdam Philharmonic, and all the major British orchestras. Recent engagements include the Last Night of the BBC Proms at London’s Royal Albert Hall and concerts with the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic.
A vast discography documents Sir Andrew’s artistry, with recent releases including programs of Berlioz and Ives, as well as his orchestration of Messiah. In 1992 Davis was created a Commander of the British Empire, and in 1999 he was made a Knight Bachelor in the New Year Honours List. He has been awarded an honorary doctorate by Knox College in Galesburg, Illinois.
Widely recognized as one of today’s foremost interpreters and champions of bel canto opera and a leading specialist in French repertoire and early Verdi, Enrique Mazzola is in high demand worldwide as both an operatic and symphonic conductor. He is principal guest conductor at Deutsche Oper Berlin, and until recently served as artistic and music director of the Orchestre National d’Île-de-France (ONDIF) in Paris. In recognition of his significant contribution to musical life in France, Mazzola was made a Chevalier de l'ordre des Arts et des Lettres by the French government in October 2018.
His arrival in Chicago follows his recent return to New York’s Metropolitan Opera for a spring production of La fille du régiment and his back-to-back summer engagements in Austria. He led a “phenomenal, monumental” Rigoletto (Opern magazine, Germany) at the Bregenz Festival and made his Salzburg Festival debut in August, conducting the Vienna Philharmonic in a new staging of Offenbach’s Orpheus in the Underworld that marked his first collaboration with director Barrie Kosky.
Following the performances of Luisa Miller at Lyric Oct. 12-31, Mazzola’s 2019/20 season includes his return to the Zurich Opera House (Don Pasquale, new production), Vienna Symphony Orchestra for concerts at the Musikverein and Bregenz Festival, Deusche Oper Berlin (Meyerbeer’s Le prophète and Dinorah), Orchestre Symphonique de Québec, Glyndebourne Festival Opera (L’elisir d’amore), Taiwan Philharmonic, and symphonic concerts in Germany. Future plans include his return to London Philharmonic, both in London and on tour in Europe.
In addition to his extensive conducting roster, Mazzola is the first international brand ambassador of Tuscany’s Consorzio del Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, promoting the culture of Vino Nobile and the surrounding Montepulciano wine region in Italy and abroad. It’s an area he knows well, having served as artistic director of Cantiere Internazionale d’Arte in Montepulciano from 1999 to 2003. As Mazzola told Chicago Wine Journal in 2016, “The life of an ambassador is never being at home. That’s basically true of a conductor, as well.” Mazzola has promoted Vino Nobile whenever the opportunity arises, offering insights into the region, its history, and its wine production.
Lyric audiences first experienced Mazzola’s artistry when he conducted Donizetti’s Lucia di Lammermoor here in 2016/17. The Chicago Tribune praised “the gifted young Italian conductor Enrique Mazzola, a first-rate bel canto opera stylist making an impressive company debut… Mazzola was ever at the ready to support the vocal lines with shapely, refined orchestral playing that soared along with the singers, but also delivered firm dramatic urgency and tension when so required. This conductor is a discovery indeed.” Mazzola’s return to Lyric for Bellini’s I Puritani inspired similarly heartfelt praise in 2017/18.
“I am so looking forward to working closely with Anthony in my new role as music director at Lyric starting in 2021, and to working with both Anthony and Sir Andrew as music director designate during the transition period,” says Mazzola. “Anthony has made me feel very much like part of the Lyric Opera family from the beginning, and our working relationship is always an excellent collaboration.”
Mazzola says he felt “love at first sight for Chicago – amore a prima vista, as we say in Italian,” and has enjoyed exploring the city’s neighborhoods, restaurants, and cultural attractions. “I got to know everything you can discover by walking through the Loop, the Gold Coast, Chinatown, what remains of Little Italy,” he recalls. “I did what every tourist should do -- the architectural tour, the Art Institute, the Chicago Symphony, and some rooftop bars after some shows.”
“I’ve also had some important experiences which made me a little closer to the city,” Mazzola notes. “The first of course was my invitation to Lyric,” which provided the opportunity “to get to know a lot of people” and to get a sense for the audience here. Also, “when I come to Chicago, I rent an apartment, so for that month and a half I become a Chicago citizen and live a real Chicago life. The days between performances are perfect for me to walk and to feel and to see and to enjoy the city in a different way.” He finds Chicagoans “ready to listen, ready to explain, ready to show, ready to accompany you.”
He describes Lyric as “an opera house where all the artists are warmly welcomed, where there is enough time to rehearse and to express personal and artistic ideas. I found in Chicago a very attentive and prepared audience, fantastic orchestra and chorus, and a wonderful organization.”
Mazzola intends to make Chicago his principal residence.

Anselm Kiefer at Gagosian Le Bourget
December 17, 2020
ANSELM KIEFER
Field of the Cloth of Gold
February 7–March 28, 2021
26 avenue de l”Europe, Le Bourget
__________
What interests me is the transformation, not the monument. I don’t construct ruins, but I feel ruins are moments when things show themselves. A ruin is not a catastrophe. It is the moment when things can start again.
The pictures become interesting when the subject matter is no more than an excuse, when the artist remembers the struggle, when he sets forth his own world in conflict with the self-secluding earth.
—Anselm Kiefer
Gagosian is pleased to present Field of the Cloth of Gold, an exhibition of four monumental new paintings by Anselm Kiefer.
The tension between beauty and terror, alongside the inextricable relationship between history and place, has animated Kiefer’s work since the 1970s. Drawing on the literature of cultural memory—including poetry, the Old and New Testaments, and the Kabbalah—Kiefer gives material presence to myths and metaphors. He infuses the medium of paint with startling and unconventional gestures and objects, juxtaposing it with organic and abject materials such as straw, sand, charcoal, ash, and mud. Kiefer asserts himself as an iconoclast; his paintings undergo various processes—such as being cut, burned, buried, exposed to natural elements, splashed with acid, or poured over with lead—so as to be made anew. These strategies, along with the use of materials such as lead, concrete, glass, fabric, tree roots, or burned books, create a symbolic resonance, making palpable both the movement and destruction of human life and the persistence of the lyrical and the divine.
The exhibition’s title refers to the historic peace summit between King Henry VIII and King Francis I that took place five hundred years ago in a field in what is now Pas-de-Calais, France. The conference, centered around a strategic alliance between England and France, had the goal of outlawing war between Christian nations. The alliance was considered a key event in shaping Europe’s geopolitics—until it dissolved and war broke out, a year later. While Kiefer did not begin making these works with this event or title in mind, the connection became apparent and synchronous after their completion. As he stated in a recent interview, “the title is often not the explanation of the picture,” but is rather “an allusion.” History is one of the materials he uses and synthesizes in his work, “like clay for the sculptor or color for the painter.”
Completed over the last two years, these works predate the COVID-19 pandemic, the ripple-effect crisis it created, and the international and cross-cultural relationships it has reconfigured. While history has been fractured and unpredictable since the Field of the Cloth of Gold conference, our cultural memory holds the violent unpredictability of human relations on a continuum. The layered and visceral character of these paintings, whose scale almost matches the landscapes they depict, evokes the surging capriciousness of European history and the effects and aftermaths of war. As in The Morgenthau Plan series of 2012, Kiefer affixes other elements to the surfaces of these paintings, from plant matter to industrial material, building a third dimension onto the painted canvas. Here the field of history is transfigured into a field of gold under a dark sky.
As is customary in Kiefer’s work, each painting’s title and symbols contain a rich literary and historical set of references. Sichelschnitt (Sickle Cut) (2019) refers to the Manstein Plan (Sichelschnittplan), a war plan devised by the German Army during the Battle of France in 1940, while Beilzeit—Wolfszeit (Axe Time—Wolf Time) (2019) nods to “Völuspá (Prophecy of the Seeress),” the first poem of the Poetic Edda of Old Norse mythology. Verse 45 of this poem is translated as “Axe-time, sword-time, | shields are sundered, / Wind-time, wolf-time, | ere the world falls.”
Ein Wort von Sensen gesprochen (One Word Spoken by Scythes) (2019–20) evokes the poem “From Hearts and Brains” by Paul Celan, whose poetry has been a point of reference for Kiefer for decades. Celan’s verse reads, “and a word, spoken by scythes / bends them into life.”
On Sunday, January 24, to celebrate the opening of the exhibition, the gallery will be open from 2 to 6pm.
Anselm Kiefer was born in 1945 in Donaueschingen, Germany, and lives and works in France. His work is collected by museums worldwide and has been permanently installed at the Musée du Louvre (2007) and the Panthéon (2020), both in Paris. Exhibitions and retrospectives include Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, Humlebæk, Denmark (2010–11), Shevirat Ha-Kelim (Breaking of the Vessels), Tel Aviv Museum of Art, Israel (2011–12); Beyond Landscape, Albright-Knox Art Gallery, Buffalo, NY (2013–14); Royal Academy of Arts, London (2014), Centre Pompidou, Paris (2015–16); l’alchimie du livre, Bibliothèque nationale de France, Paris (2015–16); and The Woodcuts, Albertina, Vienna (2016).

ATP architects engineers News
This design office is delighted by the awards and prizes received by two outstanding buildings that they were able to successfully complete despite the difficulties caused by the lockdown:
The district and shopping center ALEJA in Ljubljana, which was completed in spring 2020, has won the ICONIC AWARD 2021 in the category “Innovative Architecture” and is also one of four projects worldwide nominated for the Global RLI Award in the category “International Shopping Center – New Build”.
The innovative Viega seminar and distribution center in Attersee, which opened this summer, generates more energy than it consumes. The ecological flagship project has been recognized by the award of platinum certification by the DGNB (German Sustainable Building Council) and Gold certification by the Austrian government’s “klimaaktiv” initiative.
Both projects were exclusively integrally and digitally designed with BIM (Building Information Modeling) by ATP architects engineers. BIM2FIM – which was used at Viega – is currently a major talking point in the sector.

IWC Schaffhausen
As unpretentious, filigree, and contemporary as an IWC watch – ATP’s design for the IWC Manufacturing Center precisely meets the corporate design guidelines and the other requirements of the Swiss manufacturer of luxury watches. The building, integrally designed with BIM, is a manufacturing facility that is convincing in terms of both design and technology and is just as high performing as it is sustainable. With spacious and extremely flexible production areas and a showroom in which visitors can reinforce their passion for IWC.

The German Design Council has honored the IWC Manufacturing Center, which was integrally designed by ATP Zurich, with the ICONIC AWARD 2020 for innovative architecture. In the words of ATP partner and Managing Director of ATP Zurich, Matthias Wehrle: “Visionary architecture and sustainable innovation can stimulate each other perfectly.”

News from Moscow
Kai-Uwe Reitmann
The architect and urban manager is the new Managing Director of ATP TLP Moscow.
Already based in Russia for many years, the German expert Kai-Uwe Reitmann moved in June from Drees & Sommer to ATP TLP Moscow. In line with ATP’s successful dual management system he will lead the 90-strong team of the joint venture with TLP Tsimailo Lyashenko & Partners alongside the engineer Vladimir Horton. “My objective is to further develop the position of ATP TLP as one of the few international design offices in Russia and to build bridges with Europe,” says the new Managing Director.
Reitmann replaces the Austrian industrial engineer Karl Pein who, after five years, has now returned to Styria, where he continues to be active for ATP.

Learning with BIM: High school graduation project for Africa
Lisa Kogler and Hanna Draxl, pupils of HTL Imst, chose a graduation project that combines references to traditional African building culture with all the requirements of climate-friendly construction. The design for a ward at the “Jordan Medical Center” (JMC) in Ghana, which is funded by donations, has received a number of awards and was created as a “digital twin” using Building Information Modeling in cooperation with ATP’s BIM manager Philipp Zimmermann.
BIM-QM: Learning from Mistakes
On this year’s – virtual – Heinze ArchitekTOUR, Lars Oberwinter, Managing Director of the ATP subsidiary Plandata, is lecturing on “BIM Quality Management 2.0”. As part of his lecture the BIM expert is presenting two tools developed by Plandata that will soon be available on the market and explained how one really can learn from mistakes (in BIM models).
Summer, Sun, ALEJA!
District center brings its own charm to the fore.
The skin of the Slovenian “dragon”, which reacts to rising temperatures, is shimmering and the green activity roof is luring visitors. In the warmer seasons, the “urban” forecourt and the shady terraces of ALEJA Sky are powerful attractions. The new SES shopping and entertainment center in Ljubljana, which was integrally designed by ATP, has been open since May.

Shopping Center INSIDE, Volketswil, CH: Popular venue for fashion, beauty and lifestyle.
With its specialty of commercial and user-oriented architectural projects, Mint Architecture has developed a unique position on the Swiss market in just a few years. The Zurich office, which has around 50 employees, focusses on the retail, restaurant, financial, health, and hospitality sectors.
According to Thomas Stiefel, Founder and Partner of Mint Architecture: “We are delighted to have

Urban design Projects
Im Lenz, CH
A new urban district with more than 500 apartments as well as office, commercial and retail space has been created on a former industrial site in the Swiss town of Lenzburg. The guiding principle for the design of the “Im Lenz” district is sustainable urban development. ATP Zurich was commissioned to design four of the twelve buildings.
Location: Lenzburg, Switzerland
Completion: 07/2017
Integrated design: ATP Zurich
Competition 1st Prize (2015)
Weberzeile, Ried i. I., AT
ATP’s Weberzeile is a newly built shopping center that has been extremely successfully integrated into the existing urban structure of a medium-sized town. The retail complex acts as an “anchor” between the old town and the commercial/industrial zone. The success of the strategy was recognized in Weberzeile’s reception of the ICSC Regeneration Award 2017.
Location: Ried im Innkreis, Austria
Completion: 08/2015
Integrated design: ATP Innsbruck
Competition 1st Prize (2011)
Curtis Fluentis, CH
Despite the high levels of noise pollution from two main transport axes ATP Zurich succeeded in creating a housing and commercial complex with high residential quality. A continuous five-part building provides noise protection to the internal courtyards and loggias.
Location: Cham, Switzerland
Completion: 06/2016
Integrated design: ATP Zurich
Municipal Offices, Vomp, AT
A powerful and self-conscious ensemble of two separately accessed building volumes with a connecting wing cleverly exploits the height difference across the site. The roof and the façade play with the materiality of a Tyrolean village as a means of integrating the building complex into the surrounding urban structure.
Location: Vomp, Austria
Completion: 09/2017
Integrated design: ATP Innsbruck
Competition 1st Prize: (2015)
IN-Tower, DE
Ingolstadt’s first high-rise building acts as a link between the new station building and the “Glacis” – the green belt surrounding the old town. The striking complex accentuates the entrance to the site of the North Station and will act as a powerful symbol for rail passengers arriving in the town in future.
Location: Ingolstadt, Germany
Completion: Summer 2018
Integrated design: ATP Munich

Competition successes
Headquarter Markas, IT
The central requirement of the invited competition was to meet the needs of the growing company and create a link with the heart of Bolzano to the west. The concept by ATP Innsbruck envisages a flexible, column-free office tower that is well-proportioned from an urban design point of view and which, despite its central location, makes it possible to “work surrounded by greenery”
Location: Bolzano, Italy
Competition: 2016
ATP Innsbruck
Seestadt Aspern, DE
ATP Vienna was able to secure first place in this EU-wide, open realization competition in this urban development area in Vienna with a concept for a ‘Plus Energie’ building. The project is based on the concept of breaking down the traditional perimeter block.
Location: Vienna, AT
Competition: 2016
ATP Vienna
Wohnpark Gebersdorf, DE
The complex requirements of the realization competition demanded the development of a concept for the district which combined high-quality urban design with an innovative residential approach oriented to the needs of children and old people. ATP’s design envisages a calm residential area protected from noise that will also act as a center for the district of Gebersdorf.
Location: Gebersdorf, Nuremberg, Germany
Competition: 2016
ATP Munich with Logo verde
Neue Mitte Thon, DE
The concept behind the winning project by ATP Munich includes a reorganization of the area in urban design terms which focuses on reinvigorating the entrance to the district and providing a high quality user experience on the planned district squares. At the same time it seeks to establish a connection with the hardly perceptible and yet still very much present historic center of Thon.
Location: Thon, Nuremberg, DE
Competition: 2016
ATP Munich with Logo verde
Bahnhofsareal Weßling, DE
ATP Munich and Logo verde convinced the jury in the ideas competition for the new center of Weßling with a high-quality overall concept that is in keeping with the existing townscape. The focus of the project was the retention of Weßling’s structure and village-like charm.

Integrated Design
As an integrated design company ATP architects engineers offer “from a single source” all necessary planning design services – from the project idea to the completed building. This culture of simultaneous and interdisciplinary cooperation is highly influenced by the fact that architects and engineers work alongside full time on specific projects over a period of years.
ATP architects lead this Integrated Design Process. Their close cooperation with ATP engineers leads to innovations in all design phases which make a major contribution to the sustainable quality of the architecture of our buildings. ATP architects and engineers invest their experience and expertise in producing innovative, resource-saving and energy-optimised buildings of a higher aesthetic quality.
Our vision: We want to change our world positively with excellent buildings.
The ATP Partnership Model offers commercial responsibility – and the opportunity of sharing in the success of the company – to a wide number of employees. Partners, Associate Partners and Associates represent the corporate culture of ATP. Members of the partnership are recognisable as much for their commercial and professional ability as for the way in which their engagement transcends their own area of responsibility. In 2018 ATP has 8 partners (shareholders), 33 associate partners and 78 associates. This means that around 15% of employees are part of the partnership.

The property is located on a steep slope at the foot of pöstlingberg in the immediate vicinity of the danube. like all buildings along this residential estate’s main street, its width amounts only to 21 m. some of the neighbouring structures extend almost to the property’s boundary; therefore an orientation towards east and west was of lesser importance.

Hotel Property Award 2021 Winners
196+ hotelforum Munich jury nominates ten hotels for “Hotel Property Award 2021”
• More and more individual hotel concepts, including two holiday hotels
• Hotels from Austria, Denmark, Germany, Italy and Switzerland have been nominated
• Majority of buildings nominated are new, only three conversions
Munich, 2 September 2021 – The interdisciplinary jury of experts has nominated ten hotels from among 28 applications received from 12 European countries for the “Hotel Property Award 2021”, which will be presented on Wednesday, 13 October as part of the hybrid 196+ hotelforum conference.
The ten nominees include six hotels from Germany and one each from Denmark, Italy, Austria and Switzerland. Seven of the hotels are new constructions, three are the result of the conversion of a former administrative building, a bank office building and an old postal building, respectively; two of the nominated hotels belong to the category of holiday hotels.
Andreas Martin, Chairman of the jury: “We have once again seen more newly-built hotels than conversions among the nominated hotels this year as a proportion of the 28 total applications, but also in contrast to previous years, even though ten of the applications were for re-developments and repositioning of existing properties. What is particularly clear this year is that more and more special concepts are coming onto the market, both in the budget segment and in the segment focussing on long-term stays, and that these are characterised by a high degree of individuality, with a strong focus on the respective target group.”
Moreover, the development of the neighbourhood and the embedding of the new hotel in existing or newly-developed surroundings still play a central role in all the nominated hotels.
The expert jury with a total of 18 members is made up of experts from the fields of architecture, operation, development, finance, technical building installations and design of hotel properties, as well as of representatives from the media and academia.
“The discussion among the jury regarding the nomination for the ‘Hotel Property Award 2021’ was very intensive and lively, as always. The strong individuality requires an enhanced examination of the respective product. We were particularly concerned with the issues related to sustainability and integration into the surroundings,” said jury spokesperson and architect Oliver Collignon. “I found the overall conceptual and typological diversity of the 28 hotels submitted remarkable.”
196+ hotelforum considers interaction between the following categories to be decisive in selecting the nominees:
– architectural design quality (innovation)
– integration into the project’s surroundings (destination)
– sustainability and technical innovation (the future)
– the originality of the concept (creativity)
– economic efficiency (investment)
The ten nominees in alphabetical order:
– AMERON Munich Motorworld (Munich, Germany)
– CAB20 (Hamburg, Germany)
– Das Schlafwerk (Korntal-Münchingen, Stuttgart-Nord, Germany)

Viega Seminar Center, Attersee
We are pleased to announce the grand opening of the new state-of-the-art sales and seminar center for Viega at Attersee. The building, which was entirely integrally designed with BIM, has an impressively small ecological footprint and was presented with the Platinum certificate of the DGNB (German Sustainable Building Council) during the opening day festivities. And, due to its especially economical use of energy, the building has also been honored with the Gold Award of the “klimaaktiv” initiative of the Austrian government.
Entirely integrally designed with BIM:
Building services on show
Participants in future seminars will be able to actively learn from the high ecological and economic standards of the facility, because the building of around 3,000 m2 is a best-practice example that will itself become part of the content of the training courses: The center’s ongoing processes, water and energy demand levels, external heat inputs and internal cooling loads, and all geothermal data will be subject to comprehensive monitoring and can then be evaluated. This is a “valuable, additional didactic feature, from which specialist designers and plumbers will be able to benefit equally,” emphasized Christian Rüsche, Managing Director of Viega Österreich.

Success factor: Integrated design with BIM
The high design quality and forward-looking functionality of the Viega building result from an integrated design approach that ATP has been perfecting for over 40 years.
“It would not have been possible to meet the high standards required for this building using a traditional design approach”, says the Lead Project Manager Nora Westphal of ATP Vienna.
“From the very beginning of the design process we considered the entire lifecycle of the building from both the functional and energy perspectives,” says the architect.
The comprehensive use of integrated design with BIM enables us to make precise predictions for both the construction and the lifecycle costs. And all this building data is also available to the client for the use of their facility managers (BIM2FIM) during the operational phase.
The building has an excellent ecological footprint.

The Rady Shell at Jacobs Park, San Diego Embarcadero
WHAT
The Rady Shell at Jacobs Park—a spectacular new year-round venue with 360-degree views of San Diego’s downtown, marina, and bay—will open with a weekend celebration as the first permanent outdoor home of the San Diego Symphony. Designed to host more than 100 concerts and events year-round, The Rady Shell is the centerpiece of the 3.7-acre public Jacobs Park on the city’s scenic Embarcadero. The venue is an unprecedented resource for the Symphony’s diverse schedule of outdoor classical concerts programmed by Music Director Rafael Payare, and a variety of other musical and cultural programs.
WHEN
Opening August 6-8, 2021
OPENING WEEKEND CELEBRATION
The Rady Shell will officially open on August 6 with Rafael Payare conducting the San Diego Symphony in the world premiere of a new work for orchestra and turntable by Mason Bates and performances featuring cellist Alisa Weilerstein, bass-baritone Ryan Speedo Green, and pianist Jean-Yves Thibaudet. Opening weekend continues with “The Best of Broadway” on August 7, featuring the Symphony conducted by renowned musical theatre director Rob Fisher, showcasing Broadway luminaries Megan Hilty, Norm Lewis, Kelli O’Hara, and Adrienne Warren. The opening celebration concludes on August 8 with seven-time GRAMMY-winner Gladys Knight and special guest Naturally 7.
DESIGN
The Rady Shell at Jacobs Park is designed by San Diego firm Tucker Sadler Architects, led by CEO and Design Principal Greg Mueller, with performance shell design by London-based Soundforms. Soundforms’ award-winning 2012 mobile acoustic performance shell (MAPS) was expanded by Tucker Sadler Architects to accommodate a large orchestra with chorus and soloists and to be a permanent structure on the Embarcadero Marina Park South site.
The performance shell features concentric, widening, oval rings as its canopy, a structure that reaches a height of 57 feet and a width of 92 feet at the front of the stage. The gentle slopes and terraced, flexible seating of the 55,000- square-foot audience area are defined around their edges by a low-lying fence, buffered by plantings and a perimeter walkway, on the coast of San Diego Bay within the 3.7-acre Jacobs Park.
TICKETS
Tickets for the opening weekend are available at theshell.org.
Located in South Embarcadero Park, San Diego, California, USA

A Vessel for the Future – Highly Commended at MIPIM/AR Future Project Awards 2021
The Floating Office in the Rotterdam harbor:
Highly Commended in the Offices category, FOR is the world’s largest floating office. Its timber structure not only dramatically reduces its carbon footprint but it also allows it to be completely reusable. Without adhesives, FOR is held together with nuts and bolts, meaning that it’s completely demountable and can be reassembled 1:1 on another location.
‘With this building we want to show that architecture can take the initiative in solving climate-related threats.’

Coulissen West Breda
Shift architecture urbanism and Powerhouse Company win the tender for Coulissen West, the last piece of the large urban development West of Breda Central Station. The dense proposal mixes 40.000m2 of flexible work-meeting spaces, a wide array of apartment types, services and restaurants. The project, titled 5TRACKS is the product of a collaboration with the developers team SYNCHROON, J.P. van Eesteren and ERA Contour and landscape architect CULD.
Powerhouse Company completes two pavilions at Station Haarlem, The Netherlands
The craftsmanship of a retail pavilion
At the train station of Haarlem,The Netherlands, underneath the historical roofed gallery, Powerhouse Company designed two retail pavilions, one for Starbucks and one for Broodzaak, a Dutch chain for take-away sandwiches, coffee and snacks. With the arrival of the pavilions the site retrieves its original function as an area for meeting and waiting.
photo : Christian van der Kooy
Powerhouse Company was asked by NS Stations, the biggest Dutch railway company, to design two pavilions underneath the roof that will answer to 21st century requirements, but will keep the historical character of the location. The train station of Haarlem, as one of the oldest stations in the Netherlands, has an elegant design in the style of Art Nouveau, with a perfect balance between architecture, art and craftsmanship.
photo : Christian van der Kooy
The large roofed gallery, situated in front of the station, was originally used to provide shelter to carriages and later to many travelers. Due to the dynamic square in front of the station, it was a not logical to leave the space underneath the roof empty, but the historical value makes an all enclosing facade undesirable as well.
The design is based on the precise placing of the two pavilions underneath the roof, keeping the original space coherent and maintaining the idea of a covered square. The facades are based on the formal language of the train station with its authentic waiting rooms, characterized by the use of stone and wood.
The typical wooden frames at the station have been translated into the facade design of the pavilions. The details of wood, brass, glass and stone together form a sleek and fully flush facade, and creates an abstract representation of the existing wooden structures at the train station. The architectural design shows a 21st century version of craftsmanship through wood, glass and stone.

Danish Summer House
Powerhouse Company was asked to design a weekend house for a young family in northern Sjælland, Denmark. Village House is an exploration on the possibilities of the Summer cabin, the traditional Danish vacation home. While keeping the cabin’s footprint small, spatial as well as sustainable, there is a wide range of spatial possibilities, by using a five-fingered floor plan.

Set in the woodlands with, the program of Villa 1 is oriented optimal towards the views on the terrain and the sun. Half of the program is pushed below ground to meet local zoning regulations. This creates a clear dichotomy in the spatial experience of the house – a ‘glass box’ ground floor where all mass is concentrated in furniture elements and a ‘medieval’ basement, where the spaces are carved out of the mass.
