12. February 2021
The award went to the project in Vienna — BOKU Library and Seminar Center.
A new wooden library and seminar center was built for BOKU University of Natural Resources and Applied Life Sciences in Vienna. The building expands the existing BOKU campus by a useful area of about 3,000 m² and offers space for a seminar center, library, institute rooms, as well as pool and user rooms. The open entrance and raised plaza form a communicative interface for students and faculty from the adjacent existing buildings and the new building.
The exterior of the building is characterized by a wooden structure, the facade surfaces remain untreated. By opening individual glass elements, the terrace can be used as a market or a meeting place for students, depending on the season.
The jury noted high environmental quality due to the use of secondary and renewable materials.
