ORTE Architekturnetzwerk Niederösterreich in cooperation with AIR – Artist in Residence Niederösterreich awards three scholarships each year to creative artists from the field of building culture for a period of one to three months.
Who can apply?
In order to apply for an AIR scholarship, you must have completed your studies in a building culture field (architecture, urban development, urban planning, spatial planning, landscape planning, etc.). Austrian citizens and residents of Austria are excluded from the program. Scholarship recipients are required to reside in Krems for a minimum of 80% of the scholarship duration.
What are we looking for?
ORTE is dedicated to contemporary architecture education and building culture issues in Lower Austria and is interested in practice-related projects. We are looking for concepts that focus on environmental and climate issues as well as the living environments and local interaction, and are less interested in purely theoretical and scientific work or ones that address international phenomena not directly or clearly related to Lower Austria. Please get in touch if you would like to discuss your proposed topic before you apply.
How and when to apply?
A jury of experts selects the applicants to be accepted into the AIR building culture program.
The online application portal for the 2025 residency will be open between March 4th and April 30th, 2024.
Deadline to apply for the 2025 residency is April, 2024, 23.59 h.
