Audi Urban Future Award Exhibition
27.08.2010 - 27.09.2010
Scuola Grande della Misericordia, Cannaregio, 3599/A, 30124 Venice, Italy
Parallel to the 12th Architecture Biennial in Venice, on August 27th, 2010 the Audi Urban Future Award exhibition will open at Scuola Grande della Misericordia. Five of the architecture offices invited to participate will be presenting the results of their work to the public in an exhibition designed by Raumlaborberlin.
At the heart of the Audi Urban Future Award is a competition between five internationally renowned architectural firms. Stylepark has selected these architects because they demonstrate original perspectives and a consistent interdisciplinary approach in projects that have been realized throughout the world, thereby achieving results that transcend traditional architectural practices.
The participating architects will be confronted with the task of developing concrete scenarios, models, visions and images that make a changed reality socially, technically, economically, ecologically and aesthetically tangible, without losing sight of the contribution a company like Audi can and must make. In keeping with the theme of mobility, concepts should illustrate what future solutions could look like and where they could be implemented; in other words, they should offer concrete examples of where the future can take root. That means to develop alternatives to current models on both a large and a small scale, to investigate realms of possibility and to trust in the power of visions without losing sight of substantive interests. The offices are:
