For 2023, afo is awarding a residency to architects, urban designers, and artists who address the topics of space, architecture and city. This offer promotes a lively exchange with our institution. Developed projects are a fresh input in terms of content, creative and dedicated work and an expanded horizon for our program.
Topic
For the current call for entries, artists or architects are sought who want to deal with specific architectural, planning and spatial conditions in the city of Linz. Ideally, developed projects can be connected with our annual theme beautiful - ugly [schee schiach], where we deal with how our cultural landscapes, spaces, cities and buildings change - how and by whom our aesthetic perception is influenced or shaped today.
beautiful – ugly [schee -schiach]
