’ORTE Architekturnetzwerk Niederösterreich’ annually grants a studio apartment in Krems as well as a scholarship financed by the Federal Province of Lower Austria to artists focusing their work on architecture.
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 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. The scholarship is linked to a final presentation of the on-site created work, which can also take up the own work or source-related architectural topics or current topics of the local architectural scene.
The providing of a studio apartment for free as well as the awarding of a scholarship by the Federal Province of Lower Austria are based on the following premises: enabling artists from abroad to work in Austria and to get to know the architectural scene of Lower Austria. A jury of experts selects the applicants to be accepted into the AIR architecture program. Scholarship recipients are required to reside in Krems for a minimum of 80% of the scholarship duration.
WHAT do we offer?
We provide a studio as well as a living space free of charge. The selective duration of the stay is currently one to three months. Scholarship recipients will also be given a stipend of 1,300 EUR per month; travel costs will not be refunded. ORTE provides you with opportunities to network with the Austrian building culture scene and possibly even to present your work to a broad audience.
