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.

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.
