A group of about 20 people are standing on a green lawn in Helmut-Zilk-Park in 1100 Vienna, in the “Sonnwendviertel” urban development area, listening to two people talking about the building in the background.

In a metal framework, which is supported on trestles, there are different vessels filled with oil, which are connected to each other by tubes, as well as oil canisters.

We believe that architecture is an intellectual construction of ideas tied to its socio-economic and political context. Architectural production needs to be alert and inquisitive, while at the same time innovative, inventive, and critical. Consequently, we educate and encourage our students to experiment with ideas through research, testing their projects’ credibility and viability through implementation in practice. If you are interested in architecture as a domain in which you exercise your intellectual capacity and tirelessly pursue arguments for a better world, where you insist on making a difference in how we inhabit the environment and are interested in dialogue and debate, the IKA at the Academy is the right choice. We are looking for the best students who are interested in investing in the future of architecture.
