Roland Rainer. (Un)Umstritten. Neue Erkenntnisse zum Werk (1936–1963)
20.10.–10.12.2018, Galerie
Eröffnung: Fr 19.10., 19:00
Pressekonferenz: Fr 19.10., 11:00, Az W-Bibliothek
Spätestens seit der von der Stadt Wien in Auftrag gegebenen Studie über personenbezogene Straßennamen, worin der Roland-Rainer-Platz als „Fall mit Diskussionsbedarf“ eingestuft wurde, traten Fragen zu den biografischen Selbstauslassungen des Architekten in Bezug zur NS-Zeit auf.
Roland Rainer (1910–2004) zählt zu den bedeutendsten österreichischen Architekt*innen des 20. Jahrhunderts. Seine Bauten wurden zu Identitätsträgern für ein modernes und demokratisches Österreich.
Rainers Siedlungskonzept für die „gegliederte und aufgelockerte Stadt“, in Ansätzen realisiert am Mauerberg in Wien (1962–1963) und in Puchenau bei Linz (ab 1963), gelten bis heute als wichtiges Modell für den verdichteten Wohnbau. In der NS-Zeit eignete sich Rainer in der Deutschen Akademie für Städtebau, Reichs- und Landesplanung das Wissen der städtebaulichen Grundlagenforschung an, das ihm nach 1945 als Basis für eine Reihe von theoretischen Publikationen diente. Die Kontinuität der Konzepte im Werk Rainers und seine berufliche Karriere verweisen auf seine Anpassungsfähigkeit an die verschiedenen politischen Systeme. In Publikationen und Texten von und über Rainer wurde bisher die NS-Zeit aber ausgeklammert.
Die Übernahme des Nachlasses in die Sammlung des Az W 2015 gab Anlass, sein Œuvre und seine Biografie neu zu befragen. Im SammlungsLab #3 werden nun in Kooperation mit der Akademie der bildenden Künste Wien die ersten Ergebnisse einer im In- und Ausland erfolgten umfassenden Archivrecherche in einer Ausstellung und einem Symposium zur Diskussion gestellt.

On 28 June, the European Commission, the Fundació Mies van der Rohe, the Architects’ Council of Europe and the European Association for Architectural Education announced the winners of the Young Talent Architecture Award 2018 (YTAA 2018).
The 4 awarded architects are:
Berlin University of the Arts;
In June, the Parliament and the Council adopted in the same terms the Directive on a Proportionality Test before adoption of new regulation of professions (Directive 2018/958 of 28 June 2018). The text was published in the Official Journal of the EU on 9 July and entered into force 20 days later. This Directive lays down rules for a common framework for conducting proportionality assessments before introducing new, or amending existing, legislative, regulatory or administrative provisions restricting access to, or the pursuit of, regulated professions, with a view to ensuring the proper functioning of the internal market, while guaranteeing a high level of consumer protection. Member States shall bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive by 30 July 2020.
On 9 July 2018, the revised Directive on the energy performance of buildings (EPBD) (Directive 2018/844/EU) entered into force, closing the legislative procedure started in November 2016. Decarbonising the existing highly inefficient building stock is one of its long term goals. The Directive promotes cost-effective renovation work, introduces a smartness indicator for buildings, simplifies the inspections of heating and air conditioning systems and promotes electro-mobility by setting up a framework for parking spaces for electric vehicles. Member States shall bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive by 10 March 2020. The Commission shall review this Directive by 1 January 2026 at the latest, in the light of the experience gained and progress made during its application, and, if necessary, make proposals. As part of that review, the Commission shall assess in particular the need for further improvement of Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs).
The ACE calls for an ambitious implementation of the Directive by the Commission and Member States. It welcomes some improvements (renovation targets, consideration of well-being and comfort) but regrets that the co-legislators have not gone far enough in some areas (EPCs, disclosure of data, measurement of actual performance). Read the ACE position on the final EPBD.
On 3 October 2017, the Commission presented a package of two Communications and one Recommendation in the area of public procurement. The first Communication sets out the priority areas for improvement in the area of public procurement both at Member State and Commission level, while the Recommendation provides for steps to be taken by Member States for the professionalisation of public buyers. In June 2018, MEPs of the Internal Market committee (IMCO) adopted a report in response to this package. MEPs expressed disappointment at the pace at which many Member States have transposed the 2014 public procurement directives and by the many delays, urging them to swiftly complete the transposition. They asked the EU Commission to better and more clearly organise the guides and other tools developed to help Member States with the implementation of the public procurement framework in a more accessible and user-friendly way. They also welcomed the fact that many EU countries had made provisions for the use of quality criteria (including the best price-quality ratio) and encourage its systematic application. The report said that contracting authorities should apply “other criteria than the lowest price or cost effectiveness only, including qualitative, environmental and/or social aspects”, and consider the full life-cycle of products, including their impact on the environment, in their purchasing decisions. This IMCO report is due to be voted by the full House in September’s plenary session.
On 30 May, the EU Commission published a proposal for a regulation establishing the next Creative Europe Programme (2021 to 2027), the EU Commission's framework programme for support to the audiovisual and culture sectors, including architecture. The Commission proposed horizontal actions to support cultural platforms and networks (such as the ACE ConnectArch network) and to support the mobility of cultural professionals and their operation at international level. The Commission also proposed sectorial actions targeting specifically the Architecture sector: "targeted actions for the mobility of operators, capacity-building, audience development and internationalisation of the cultural heritage and architecture sectors, promotion of Baukultur, support for the safeguarding, conservation and enhancement of cultural heritage and its values through awareness-raising, networking and peer-to-peer learning activities". The Council and Parliament will discuss the Commission's proposal in the coming months.
The Romanian Order of Architects (OAR) is pleased to announce the election of its new President, arch. Alexandru Găvozdea, by the National Conference held on 30 June - 1 July 2018.
Alexandru Găvozdea is the founder of the a.plan architectural practice from Sibiu, in 2006. In 2004, he graduated from the Faculty of Architecture of the Bucharest University of Architecture and Urban Planning and holds a PhD in Built Heritage Preservation. He is a certified urban planner, a specialist in urban history studies and heritage protection and a judicial technical expert near the Ministry of Justice.
At European and international level, he is committed to work for the further strengthening of the OAR cooperation with the Architects Council of Europe (ACE), the International Union of Architects (UIA) and other regional and international organisations. Thus, by sharing good practices and successful experiences in architectural design and urban planning with his fellow architects from around the world, he aims at advancing the interests of the architectural profession and increasing the quality of architecture and, ultimately, the quality of people’s living standard and well-being
Alan Jones has been elected as the next President of the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA). Alan will take over the two-year presidential term from Ben Derbyshire next year (1 September 2019); from 1 September 2018 he will officially become RIBA President Elect.
Alan Jones is a chartered architect, director of his own architecture practice based in County Antrim, Senior Lecturer at Queen’s University Belfast and the RIBA’s Vice President for Education.
For the first time, UK students hoping for a career as an architect can access two apprenticeships as a route into the profession.
Apprenticeships are an initiative backed by government, the Institute for Apprenticeships (IfA) and industry. Employers are able to access funding to take on apprentices and enable them apprentices to receive on and off-the-job training while earning a salary.
Two sets of standards for the UK were developed through the collaborative working of an Architecture Trailblazer Group of 20 practices supported by the Architects Registration Board (ARB), the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) and several UK universities.
Approved in June 2018 by the IfA, the Architectural Assistant apprenticeship encompasses a UK Part 1 level qualification (first degree) and the Architect Apprenticeship encompasses Part 2 and Part 3 level qualifications. It is hoped this new route to registration in the UK will be a significant step towards diversifying the profession by providing increased accessibility to education and employment.
As ARB and RIBA are fully supportive of this exciting new route into the profession and welcomed the opportunity to work with a range of organisations on this initiative to ensure all relevant requirements for registration, the prescription of qualifications in the UK and RIBA Chartered Membership would be covered by the apprenticeships’ framework. The ARB website features a set of Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) to assist institutions considering developing provision and will host guidance for apprentices in the near future. The RIBA website features information for practices and those interested in becoming apprentices.
Both apprenticeships are expected to be offered by UK universities from September 2018
On 29 May Mr. Juris Poga was elected new President of the Latvian Association of Architects. The Council of the Latvian Association of Architects Congress was also renewed and a new Board of Directors is in place since July.
> On the occasion of The Latvian Association of Architects' Congress architects were introduced to a study about the improvement of continuous education of architects and participated in a discussion about guidelines of the Architectural law in Latvia.
> The Liepaja State Gymnasium No. 1 ( architect Ilze Meksha, Wonderfull Ltd) was awarded the Grand Prix of the Latvian Architecture Award 2018.

Der Mies van der Rohe Award ist der wichtigste europäische Architekturpreis. Sein Hauptanliegen ist die Anerkennung und Würdigung herausragender Verdienste im Bereich der Architektur innerhalb Europas. Es werden Projekte ausgezeichnet, deren innovativer Charakter als Orientierung, wenn nicht sogar als Manifest für die Entwicklung zeitgenössischer Architektur dient. Der Preis versteht sich auch als Förderung des Berufsstandes an sich und als Ermutigung für Architekt*innen am Beginn ihrer Karriere. Beide Preise – Hauptpreis und Sonderauszeichnung „Emerging Architect“ – werden für eine außergewöhnliche Leistung in konzeptueller, technischer und baulicher Hinsicht verliehen. Alle zwei Jahre wird der mit insgesamt € 80.000 (Hauptpreis: € 60.000, Emerging Architect-Preis: € 20.000) dotierte Preis ausgelobt und vergeben.
Der diesjährige Preis und die Ausstellung überzeugen mit 2 Hauptgewinnern aus dem Bereich Wohnbau: DeFlat Kleiburg in Amsterdam von NL architects gemeinsam mit XVW Architectuur sowie der Emerging Architect Winner Navez social housing in Brüssel von MSA/V. Besonders ersteres Projekt ist wegweisend, befasst es sich doch mit der partizipativen Sanierung und Aufwertung eines Großwohnbaus aus den 1960er Jahren.
Insgesamt wurden von über 400 europäischen Institutionen und Expert*innen sowie einer hochkarätigen Jury 40 Projekte nominiert und 5 davon als Finalisten ausgewählt. Sie alle sind in der Ausstellung zu sehen.
Eröffnung der Ausstellung/ Podiumsdiskussion:
Mo 16.04.2018., 19:00, Az W Podium
Ausstellung: 17.04.–28.05.2018, Az W Galerie 
Im Sog der 1968er-Bewegung kam es zu einem Wandel in der Wiener Sozialpolitik. Baulich manifestierte sich diese Aufbruchstimmung mit der Eröffnung der "Stadt des Kindes" 1974.
Die im Typus einer Idealstadt ausgebildete Anlage des Architekten Anton Schweighofer verkörperte die neuen Leitideen des Wohlfahrtsstaates: Durchlässigkeit und Gemeinschaft. Die Stadt des Kindes avancierte zu einem Vorzeigeprojekt für die Politik. Als pädagogisches Experiment für die Unterbringung „gefährdeter“ Kinder und Jugendlicher scheiterte sie an ihren selbstgestellten Ansprüchen. 2002 wurde sie geschlossen und größtenteils abgerissen.
Im zweiten SammlungsLab treffen beeindruckende Objekte aus der Sammlung des Az W auf die Erinnerungen ehemaliger Bewohner*innen. Dabei stellt sich die Frage nach dem ambivalenten Verhältnis zwischen Architektur und gesellschaftlicher Praxis.

EU NEWS
On 19 December, the Estonian presidency reached a provisional agreement with the European Parliament on a revised Directive on the Energy Performance of Buildings. The outcome of the trilogue was presented to EU ambassadors the following day, with the final analysis and approval of the agreement expected to take place at the beginning of 2018.
The Directive encourages energy efficiency and will increase energy savings in the building sector. It brings the existing rules up to date by taking into account recent technological developments.
Increasing the renovation of the EU's building stock over the next few years to increase it's energy performance is crucial. The new simplified framework will cover the speed, quality and effectiveness of building renovation, with the long-term aim of moving to the decarbonisation of buildings.
In December 2017, the Commission adopted a package of infringement decisions, several aspectes of which concern the architectural profession:
Public Procurement: the Commission decided to take Austria, Luxembourg, Slovenia and Spain to the EU Court of Justice over the failure to notify complete transposition of EU rules on public procurement and concessions into national law. All Member States were obliged to notify the transposition of the latest Public Procurement rules by 18 April 2016.
Services: the Commission decided to refer Austria to the EU Court of Justice due to overly restrictive rules on the provision of services by architects, engineers, patent attorneys and veterinarians. Austrian legislation imposes a number of requirements on regulated professions: head office requirements, legal form and excessive shareholding requirements; and restrictions on multidisciplinary companies. The Commission holds the view that these requirements create unjustified obstacles to the provision of services by these professions.
Professional Qualifications: the Commission sent a letter of formal notice to Cyprus for not recognising the professional training in the fields of engineering & architecture acquired by Cypriot citizens in other Member States, which does not seem to be in line with Directive 2005/36/EC. In addition, national rules do not fully respect the principle of automatic recognition of professional qualifications acquired by architects abroad as laid down in Article 49 of Directive 2005/36/EC. Cyprus now has two months to remedy the situation; otherwise, the Commission may decide to send a reasoned opinion to Cyprus.
On 18 January 2018, in Strasbourg, the European Parliament adopted a report on the implementation of Directive 2013/55/EU (amending Directive 2005/36/EC) as regards regulation and the need for reform in professional services. The Architects’ Council of Europe (ACE) congratulates the Rapporteurs for their work on this important issue and welcomes the report, which contributes to a greater recognition of the importance of the quality of professional services and their benefits to the society.

A provisional agreement was reached between the Council and the Parliament upon conclusion of the third trilogue on 19 December 2017. The agreed text is expected to be formally adopted by both institutions in January-February 2018.

The Young Talent Architecture Award (YTAA) launches its second edition: Schools registration is now open.
- YTAA 2018 will grant more awards: 4 Winners among 12 Finalists;
- Schools can start selecting Graduation projects presented by students between August 1st, 2016 and December 31st, 2017;
- To stimulate the competitiveness and quality of European architecture education, schools from two guest countries will be invited to participate in YTAA 2018: China and South Korea.

February 22 Deadline for school’s submissions
March 27 Deadline for student’s submissions
The Young Talent Architecture Award (YTAA) launches its second edition supporting the talent of recently graduated Architects, Urban Planners and Landscape Architects.
YTAA is organized by the Fundació Mies van der Rohe with the support of Creative Europe as an extension of the European Union Prize for Contemporary Architecture - Mies van der Rohe Award, and World- Architects as Founding Partner.
By bringing together the most talented graduated architects and some of the best architecture firms and institutions in Europe, the Winners of the YTAA will have the opportunity to develop comprehensive strategies enhancing synergies and complementarities with the firms and institutions of their choice.
The first edition of the award in 2016 had a very successful participation with 211 architecture, urban and landscape graduation projects submitted by 268 students from over 100 Schools and 86 European cities.
YTAA 2018 wants to open up its scope and generate a stronger debate by increasing its geographical span and the number of finalists and winners. This second edition entails the consolidation of the Award, higher participation is therefore expected.
YTAA will reflect the reality and complexity of education throughout its process. This is why the number of designs that each school can nominate is in accordance with its total number of enrolled students.
“YTAA seeks to become a privileged observatory of architectural education, so the proposed works are not limited by scale or programme. The Jury selection for each biennial edition represents an extensive overview of quality architectural design but the common denominator remains the contribution that these designs make to the built environment” explains Michel Magnier, Director for Culture and Creativity at the European Commission.
A group of shortlisted works will be selected in order to illustrate different ways of working, designing and communicating. Four winners, one more than the first edition, will be chosen by an international Jury from a list of twelve finalists.
All nominated designs will be published online and will become part of the YTAA Archive as a recognition to their authors and the Schools. The four Winners will be supported in the creation of a network with the architects and critics involved in the European Union Prize for Contemporary Architecture – Mies van der Rohe Award and the Future Architecture Platform. They will also receive 5.000€ each, a profile in World Architects and furniture from USM.
The results of YTAA 2018 will be presented in a traveling exhibition that will start its journey in Venice, at the 2018 Architecture Biennale. YTAA benefits from the partnership of the Architects’ Council of Europe (ACE) and The European Association for Architectural Education (EAAE) and the local partner in Venice is The European Cultural Centre (ECC). The organization of YTAA 2018 counts with the participation of Jung and Jansen and the support of USM.
