The Bauherrenpreis was awarded for the first time in 1967. In a synopsis spanning six decades, the results of nominated and award-winning projects provide an overview of architectural creation in Austria since the end of the 1960s. The - often passionate - search for qualities in architecture, open space design and urban planning solutions is the same, the forms of expression are different. They reflect the influences of the changing framework conditions of the planners.
What becomes clear is the special commitment, courage and creativity of the clients who commissioned these buildings. In doing so, they have made an indispensable contribution to building culture in our country.
"The selection of prizes and nominations should be seen as a tribute to those clients who have dedicated themselves to building culture to an extent that goes beyond the usual. They provide impetus with their projects and are thus initiators of new developments throughout the country." Maria Auböck, President of the Central Association of Austrian Architects
A total of 110 projects were submitted in 2023. All properties were viewed on site in the federal states by nomination juries whose members do not come from the same federal state in which they work as jurors. During the visits, the nomination juries nominated a total of 25 projects, which were also visited on site by the main jury. This main jury decided in favour of three award winners.
