"Zwischen Kostenschätzung, Muttermilch und Bautreue": Shaping the Future of Austrian Architecture

This exhibition highlights the challenges and opportunities for the emerging generation of Austrian architects. It showcases their engagement with social and environmental issues, presenting their efforts to shape fairer working structures and navigate crises with tactical optimism.

The emerging generation of Austrian architects is confronted with significant challenges, including actively contributing to a shift in the building sector, establishing fairer working structures, and expanding their own scope for proactive maneuvering. Young architects building their own practices are grappling with urgent issues such as the climate crisis, escalating construction costs, higher rents, and buildings treated as speculative assets, all within limited operational capacity. This exhibition delves into how architecture evolves when architects consistently address social and environmental concerns, questioning what this future architecture will look like. The exhibition explores vital questions: How do young architects secure worthwhile commissions? How do they initiate projects independently? How can more equitable living and working structures be designed and maintained collaboratively? In the forefield of the exhibition, concerns and positions of young architects were gathered through interviews and further condensed in workshops across Austria. The exhibition offers a snapshot of a new generation characterized by tactical optimism despite multiple crises, featuring an open mapping of issues and positions that invites further contribution. It serves as a platform demonstrating approaches and strategies that create opportunities for young architects.
