Blick in den Schatten

Blick in den Schatten

Last week, the St. Pölten City Museum, in cooperation with Tangente, opened one of its largest exhibitions to date, "Blick in den Schatten. St. Pölten and National Socialism". This makes the harbingers of National Socialism from 1900, the period of the reign of terror and the socio-political continuities up to the present day tangible. BWM were responsible for the exhibition design.

Wiener Wohnbaupreis 2024

As part of the celebrations to mark the 40th anniversary of wohnfonds_wien, the site of the former Theodor-Körner barracks in Penzing was honoured with the Wiener Wohnbaupreis (Vienna Housing Award) 2024 as the ‘best neighbourhood’. The partial development has created an open urban neighbourhood with a wide variety of urban uses that blends in very well with its surroundings. ‘Overall, the project proves that supposed obstacles, such as consistent tree protection in this case, with all the resulting effort, can become a special feature that has a lasting effect,’ said the jury.
