LECTURE AND MEDIATION INSIDE THE FRACTAL CHAPEL AT THE UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL OF GRAZ

LECTURE AND MEDIATION INSIDE THE FRACTAL CHAPEL AT THE UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL OF GRAZ

Join architect Martin Lesjak for an evening at the FRACTAL CHAPEL, offering personal insights into the ideas, research, and interdisciplinary process that shaped this unique space. The event is organized by the Bildungsforum bei den Minoriten, the Evangelical Church of Styria (A.B.), and the Office for Hospital and Nursing Home Ministry of the Diocese of Graz-Seckau.⁠ Drawing on years of collaboration with Richard Taylor (Fractals Research and University of Oregon) and Anastasija Lesjak (13&9 Design and ScienceDesignLab), Martin Lesjak explores how fractal patterns found in nature influence human perception and how these insights shaped the design of the chapel. Inspired by biophilic design principles, the project translates findings from science, architecture, art, and spirituality into a contemplative spatial experience.

The evening concludes with a guided meditation led by Christian Graf, hospital chaplain and member of the project team from its earliest stages. Having accompanied the chapel from its inception and continuing to care for its life today, he brings a unique perspective to this shared experience of the space. The lecture "Fraktale Muster und ihre Wirkung auf den Menschen" will take place on June 18, 2026, at 6:30 p.m. Discover the ideas behind the FRACTAL CHAPEL, gain personal insights into its creation, and experience the space through both reflection and meditation.

START OF CONSTRUCTION FOR RLB OÖ CAMPUS IN LINZ

START OF CONSTRUCTION FOR RLB OÖ CAMPUS IN LINZ

We are delighted that the official launch of construction for the new headquarters of Raiffeisenlandesbank Oberösterreich has taken place. An important milestone for a project that will shape the cityscape of Linz in the future.

Designed by HENN architects as a contemporary hybrid timber building, the project brings together an international team consisting of HENN architecture, SODA Designers, HofmanDujardin architecture and interior design, and INNOCAD architecture.
Our role encompasses the interior design concept for the customer center, the workspaces—including the atrium areas—and the executive level.

This visionary project is now entering its next phase, and we look forward to bringing these ideas to life together with all project partners.

PERSPECTIVE EUROPE 2026 FORUM IN ROME

At the invitation of THE PLAN Magazine, one of the world’s leading architecture and design publications, Dr. med. univ. Anastasija Lesjak (13&9 Design and ScienceDesignLab) and Martin Lesjak (INNOCAD architecture) will participate in Perspective Europe 2026, taking place from May 26–28, 2026, in Rome. As part of the official program, they will join Gaël Desveaux (AREP Architectes), Andreas Karavanas (OZ), Gerard Loozekoot (UNStudio), Carol Phillips (Moriyama Teshima Architects), and Milan Tomac (Enota) in the round table discussion "Beyond Development: Architecture, Placemaking and Sustainability," moderated by Marjan Poboljšaj, co-founder of Superform.

INNOCAD ARCHITECTURE RANKED #6 AMONG LEADING ARCHITECTURE STUDIOS BY ARCHITIZER

INNOCAD ARCHITECTURE RANKED #6 AMONG LEADING ARCHITECTURE STUDIOS BY ARCHITIZER

CASA S has been longlisted for the Archello Awards 2025 in the category “Architecture & Wood.” As a project especially close to us at INNOCAD, we are delighted about this recognition. The Archello Awards honor outstanding international architecture and design projects, selected by a global jury of leading architects and industry experts.

The category highlights innovative use of timber, material intelligence, and the relationship between structure, sustainability, and spatial quality. CASA S was recognized for its consistent and thoughtful use of wood throughout the project.

Behind its calm exterior lies a sophisticated timber structure made from native spruce in cross-laminated timber. Visible beams and wooden panels shape the interior atmosphere while supporting the gabled roof. A reduced palette of wood, stone, and earthy tones strengthens the connection to nature, turning the house into a crafted and inhabitable architectural experience.

FRAME AWARD  silver for FRACTAL CHAPEL

FRAME AWARD silver for FRACTAL CHAPEL

Transparency, dialogue, and interdisciplinary thinking are at the core of the FRAME Awards by FRAME Magazine, one of the leading international platforms for spatial and interior design. We are pleased to share that the FRACTAL CHAPEL at the University Hospital Graz received Silver in the April ranking in the category “Cultural Space.”⁠

Unlike conventional architecture competitions, the FRAME Awards foster an open discourse through a transparent evaluation process and ongoing monthly rankings reviewed by an international jury of architects, designers, and industry experts. This approach strongly resonates with our philosophy of “New Holism,” where architecture connects research, wellbeing, atmosphere, and human perception.⁠

Conceived as a contemplative space within the healthcare environment of the University Hospital Graz, the FRACTAL CHAPEL translates fractal geometries and biophilic principles into an immersive spatial experience through light, geometry, and atmosphere.⁠ We are honored to be part of this year’s FRAME Awards and grateful for the recognition in the April ranking. We now look forward to the announcement of the annual winners later this year.

FRACTAL CHAPEL NOMINATED AT HEALING ARCHITECTURE AWARDS⁠

FRACTAL CHAPEL NOMINATED AT HEALING ARCHITECTURE AWARDS⁠

We are glad to announce that the FRACTAL CHAPEL at the University Hospital Graz has been nominated for the Healing Architecture Awards, recognizing its contribution to healing-centered design and its innovative synthesis of space, and human perception.

The award honors outstanding architecture and interior architecture in the healthcare sector, celebrating projects that promote well-being and set new standards through healing spatial concepts. The nomination highlights the Fractal Chapel as a pioneering example of evidence-based, atmospheric design.⁠

The chapel’s biophilic design translates natural growth into spatial experience through a continuous spiral geometry that intuitively guides visitors. Fractal lighting, developed in collaboration between 13&9 Design and Fractals Research, filters through perforated patterns to create shifting light and shadow. This dynamic, nature-inspired interplay fosters a calm, immersive atmosphere with scientifically proven stress-reducing effects that support perception and well-being.

EXHIBITION / THE PRIZE BAG: DOUBLE LIVES OF ARCHITECTURE

EXHIBITION / THE PRIZE BAG: DOUBLE LIVES OF ARCHITECTURE

We are honored that our PALLIATIVE CARE UNIT at the Regional Hospital Southwest Styria, site Deutschlandsberg, is featured in the exhibition "THE PRIZE BAG: DOUBLE LIVES OF ARCHITECTURE" developed in the context of the Architecture Award of the State of Styria 2025.

Curated by Sevince Bayrak and Oral Göktaş of "SO? architecture and ideas" the award frames architectural recognition not as a final verdict, but as a means of engaging with the culture of the built environment.

Fourteen projects were shortlisted and visited on site, emphasizing physical reality over representation. Based on these visits, the installation looks beyond polished images to explore what unfolds between drawing and construction, intention and crisis, and completion and everyday use. Rather than presenting architecture as a finished object, it highlights collaboration, constraints, adaptation, and the realities that shape buildings over time.

Through close exchange with the nominated offices, extensive material emerged, including post-occupancy reflections, budget constraints, crisis moments, and internal discussions, it’s presented in a dual structure: on the one side, it shows the submitted drawings and photographs; on the other side, it reveals the transition from paper to construction to daily use.

The exhibition by the House of Architecture Graz (HDA), Chamber of Civil Engineers for Styria and Carinthia and State of Styria (Land Steiermark) runs from 25 February to 15 May 2026 at Mariahilferstraße 2, 8020 Graz. The themes will be further explored in the publication "The Prize Bag: Double Lives of Architecture – Architekturjahrbuch Graz Steiermark 2025." A discussion and book presentation will take place on April 29, 2026, at 07:00 PM at Salon Stolz at Theodor-Körner-Straße 67, 8010 Graz. We and our client KAGes – Steiermärkische Krankenanstaltengesellschaft m.b.H. are grateful that the project has been included in this context and we congratulate Architektursalon and su.n -spaceunit network for their winning project Salon Stolz
