Current Tenders & Competitions

Set against the evolving infrastructural landscape of southern Austria, the Technologiepark Lavanttal competition calls for a forward-looking masterplan at the threshold of the new St. Paul im Lavanttal railway station. Emerging alongside the transformative Koralmbahn high-speed line, the project envisions a new innovation district linking Graz and Klagenfurt bringing together research, industry and education within a carefully structured campus environment. Rather than a tabula rasa, the site presents a layered and technically demanding terrain. Existing gas pipelines, overhead power lines and subtle shifts in topography impose a framework of constraints that must be negotiated with precision. The challenge is therefore as much infrastructural as it is architectural: to choreograph buildings, movement and landscape within a network of invisible systems and safety zones. The competition brief calls for a robust yet adaptable spatial strategy, capable of guiding phased development while establishing a coherent identity for the technology park from its first iteration.
