[Austria] AWG - Alles Wird Gut (Everything is going to be alright)

[sigue2000]

A very inspiring office in Vienna. I admire their attitude as much as their style and devotion.
Also a great reference to a well made architects-site. :not worth

It's only in german but still worth the visit.

Since 1997, Awg has been working on projects of different
scales - from urban strategies to interior design. The pragmatic
approach searches for the potential of the given context. By
looking at so-called problems as chances, new unexpected
possibilities come into existence. The goal beyond the given task
is to find additional qualities in order to realise them.
The four architects of Awg met at the Technical University of
Vienna (TU) where first common projects were created. What
distinguishes the team is the input of diversified characters as
well as the co-operation without hierarchies and without
specialisations. (OR makes the team unique)
The actual formula for success of the young architects is team
spirit. The building task is analised thoroughly, nothing is
forbidden on principle, a lot is possible. The logic answer at first
sight is not always the best. As a result surprising methods of
resolutions occur for both the builder and the architects. Those
methods are reviewed and perfected mutualy.
Awg puts its emphasis on contents and synergies - on
ressources that complement one another and therefore serve
economic functions. Architecture is not an end in itself, the
stress is laid on the benefit. Good architecture should not be
more expensive - but simply be more efficient!

The gag that occurs in most of the projects shows that Awg
enjoys surprises, new stuff and architecture itself. Otto
Kapfinger writes about Awg: "The four shooting stars coming
from the province with their Viennese office that is situated in a
former grocery store are anything but AFFIRMATIVELY blue eyed
as you could understand by their office name.

Whether or not it was intentional, I am really attracted to the color quality of the image. The dark surroundings with a light color building with that greenish interior light draws my attention to what is going on inside this building. Its like a beacon, I want to go in and investigate. I coulndn't imagine the architect planing for such a phenomenon, but how unique it is.

The inside is incredible for a kindergarten. If you're on the site its project KIGA.
