Founded in 1998 and since regarded as
one of Austria’s most significant young practices, in 2004 Querkraft was
awarded both BD Young Architect of the Year and the City of Vienna Prize for Architecture,
and simultaneously represented Austria at the ninth Venice Architecture
Biennale. Current projects at the time of their Summer Nights presentation included the design of the Adidas Brand Center
(Germany), a restaurant project (Birmingham) and a residential project
(Liverpool), both commissioned by Urban Splash.
Jakob Dunkl presented the practice's work.
