nextroom – styrian architecure database
Steirische Bauwerke auf nextroom.at
As a collection partner of the nextroom architecture database, the HDA is responsible for the continuous documentation of architectural goings-on in Styria. The "nextroom" database presents completed projects of high architectural quality or relevance to building culture in the form of a long-term archive that depicts contemporary architecture in Austria and beyond and makes it accessible.
The "nextroom" database was founded in 1996 and presents realised projects of high architectural quality or relevance to building culture in the form of a long-term archive that depicts contemporary architecture in Austria and beyond and makes it accessible. The aim of the documentation is to generate understanding and enthusiasm for architecture and architects through mediation between architects, lay people, manufacturers and executing firms.
Submissions are possible at any time. We are looking for buildings in Styria that have been completed in the last two years.
The next jury meeting will take place in spring 2025. Submissions received by 1 February 2025 will be considered here.

The following documents must be submitted in digital form via data upload:
- Completed data sheet in doc file format

ADMISSION CRITERIA FOR BUILDINGS
The scope of the collection extends to Austria and neighbouring countries. Consideration is given to completed architectural and open-space projects as well as engineering structures whose completion dates back no longer than three years. Decisive criteria for inclusion are:
- Architectural quality: The buildings meet high aesthetic standards in concept and implementation.
- Relevance to architectural culture: The buildings are representative of the current discourse on architecture and the city.
- Urban design: Successful embedding in the context of the settlement
- Sustainability: The buildings make moderate use of resources such as soil, energy and raw materials and respond appropriately to social challenges.
- High-quality execution: The buildings are carefully planned down to the last detail and professionally realised.
- Innovative strength: The buildings strive for technical and typological innovations in concept and implementation.
Detailed information on the selection and publication process can be found on the corresponding page at nextroom.at
Projects that have already been awarded the Architecture Prize of the Land, the GerambRose or the Bauherrenpreis are not subject to the selection jury. They are included in the selection as fixed starters and can therefore be submitted immediately.
