Bauwelt Prize 2001

Het eerste huis ...



How did your first espresso taste?
Your first Godard? Your first date?
The stage fright before your first perform-
ance, alone or as part of a team?
All that and much more is your first building, the first work you realize, all your own.

Idealistically designed, doggedly pursued, eagerly anticipated. All architects pin their greatest hopes on their first work, and because they themselves do, others do as well. Like a first novel, first film, or first solo performance, the first building is different from anything that comes afterward; it receives more attention, and of a special kind.

Eligible for participation in the competition are architects and landscape architects in Europe and overseas, working as individuals or in collaboration. Eligible for submission is the first work realized on one’s own responsibility and completed after January 1, 1997. It is to be shown on a single sheet in DIN A1 format, preferably submitted as a panel.
The competition category (1-6) should be indicated in the upper right hand corner, along with the name, address, and telephone number of the entrant. If necessary, an explanatory text no more than 200 words in length may be included on a separate sheet in DIN A4 format.
The languages of the competition are German and English.

Participants may use their own discretion in the design of the page; the work should be presented in a comprehensive and comprehensible fashion in both drawings and photos, and should be shown in its entirety as well as in detail. The ground plans and sections essential to an understanding of the building are expected.
Submissions will not be returned.




The jury consists of
David Chipperfield, London
Felix Claus, Amsterdam
Hannelore Deubzer, Berlin
Yves Lion, Paris
Cornelia Müller, Berlin

Deadline for submission: Entries must be postmarked by october 31, 2000, with postage paid in full by the sender.
Entries should be mailed to:

Redaktion Bauwelt
Schlüterstraße 42
D-10707 Berlin
Germany

A total of DM 60,000 in prizes will be awarded. In each of the six competition categories, the winner will receive DM 10,000; the jury reserves the right to alter the allocation of the prize money at their discretion.
The results of the competition will be communicated to the participants immediately following the decision. All winning entries and a selection of other projects will be published in Bauwelt 1-2/2001 and will be exhibited at the BAU 2001 exposition at the Munich Exhibition Center from January 16-21.

Through their participation, entrants agree to abide by the conditions of the competition. Entrants likewise affirm that they are the authors of the submitted and realized works. In addition, entrants hereby agree to allow their work to be published without monetary compensation. Entrants are responsible for obtaining permission to use materials (photographs in particular) belonging to a third party.




In order to establish criteria for comparison and ensure a fair chance for all entrants, we have divided the Bauwelt Prize 2001 into six categories:

1.
The Private Dwelling, including extensions, renovations, additional stories ... whether Philip Johnson for Philip Johnson or Robert Venturi for his mother. Gerrit Rietveld’s first house already embodied the whole of De Stijl; for Herzog and de Meuron, it was a simple shed in ultra-marine blue, for Toyo Ito a wooden skeleton clad in aluminum.

2.
The Garden, including parks, squares, foun-tains, street spaces ... whether Sørensen’s 39 garden plans for one piece of land or Francesco Venezia’s stone Piazza Centrale in Casale. Aldo Rossi’s design for the partisan monument in Segrete, composed of the sphere, prism, and square, anticipates his entire design repertoire. In his theoretical garden in the Parc de La Villette, Bernard Tschumi plants red Folies in a grid.

3.
Interior Spaces for guests, buyers, and sellers: restaurants, bars, shops, exhibition spaces ... whether Peter Behrens for AEG or Philippe Starck for Paramount. Max Dudler made a name for himself with the Schwarzes Café near the Deutsches Architekturmuseum in Frankfurt, and David Chipperfield with the London showroom for Issey Miyake.

4.
Community Buildings, including kindergartens, churches, schools, museums. The spectrum runs from Konstantin Melnikov’s Rusakow Workers’Club in Moscow to Herman Herz-berger’s Montessori School in Delft. Karl-Josef Schattner spent his whole life – from his first work on – building for the bishop of Eichstätt – and Daniel Libeskind made his debut with a kind of manifesto in the Jüdisches Museum in Berlin.

5.
Housing and Housing Estates. Antonio Cruz and Antonio Ortis integrated their apartment building into Seville’s old city, Roger Diener rediscovered the building block at Hammerstraße in Basel. Fumihiko Maki’s first project, the Hillside Terrace Apartment in Tokyo of 1969, foregrounded the social aspects of co-habitation while, some twenty years later, Adolf Krischanitz’s Pilotengasse housing in Vienna foregrounded an avantgarde color scheme.

6.
Construction Systems and Technical Buildings, including bridges, halls, roof structures, architectures of transportation or transportable architecture ... Renzo Piano’s first work was a multifunctional roof structure. Fresh out of architecture school, Meinhard von Gerkan and Volkwin Marg made their debut with the Tegel Airport, and haven’t reduced the scale of their work since. Richard Horden modeled his first genuinely mobile dwelling unit on the Container and had it transported by helicopter to a peak in the Swiss Alps.
