Hans Hollein Projektstipendien

Overview

The Hans Hollein Project Scholarships in Architecture are designed to support architecture professionals whose work is distinguished by particular originality, innovation, and an independent creative or theoretical stance. The goal is to enable artistic, conceptual, theoretical, and research-oriented exploration of the work of important Austrian architects and their contribution to national and international architectural and spatial development. In the spirit of Hans Hollein, who worked as an architect, theoretician, urban planner, designer, freelance artist, and teacher, the scholarship is particularly aimed at projects that transcend disciplinary boundaries and open new perspectives.
