Student Trophy 2019 – Austria

The ‘Concrete Student Trophy 2019’ competition is supported by the Association of Austrian Concrete and Precast Plants (VÖB), the Ready-Mixed Concrete Association (GVTB) and the Association of the Austrian Cement Industry (VÖZ) under the expert guidance of Austrian universities. The award ceremony of the 14th edition of the Concrete Student Trophy in Austria took place in Vienna on November 19. The first place with the project named “Donaustern” went to the team: Andreas Rogala (architecture), Lisa Tobisch and Miriam Jäger (civil engineering) from Graz University of Technology. “The team best met the requirements of interdisciplinary collaboration between architecture, minimalist design and civil engineering” the jury argued. The team received prize money of 4,200 euros for the successful design.

In 2019, the competition task was the preliminary design of a barrier-free walkway for pedestrians and cyclists crossing the Danube Canal in Vienna.

The prize is awarded for outstanding projects and seminar papers that have been developed in an interdisciplinary manner and in the design and construction of which concrete plays an essential role. This year, the competition task is the preliminary design of a barrier-free walkway for pedestrians and cyclists crossing the Danube Canal in Vienna.
