NEW CONSTRUCTION OF A PARISH AND CULTURAL CENTER IN STYRIA
competition: 3rd prize
Invitation only competition 3rd prize /rectorate and Cultural Center / historical context / building ensemble / courtyard as event square of the municipality / integrated topography / building as indoor or outdoor stage
According to the first documented traces, the Holy Cross was mentioned as SACRUM CRUX. In this historical context, the new building concept takes into account the special circumstances of the location. The parish, the church, the creek and the existing stock of trees forms a protective grouping where the new parish and cultural center fits in harmoniously. Furthermore, the space is a key unifying factor within the community. The center and parish are places that are both public and private and at the same time acts like a stage for the entire community. A stage is a main component of the design concept.
