proHolz Student Trophy 26 - Timber on top
The next edition of the competition will start on 16 October 2025 with a kick-off event at TU Vienna.
The focus is on the vertical extension of existing buildings with timber construction.
The design projects are based on three building sites: in Vienna the extension of a shelter for homeless people, in Munich the construction of living space by adding storeys to a medical centre and in Ljubljana new accommodation for students.
The proHolz Student Trophy 26 is endowed with prize money totalling 21,000 euros.
In the proHolz Student Trophy 24, students of architecture and civil engineering were invited to explore the potential and possible applications of modern timber construction in urban areas on the basis of three exemplary building sites in Vienna.
The jury selected three winning projects, one special prize and six commendations from 166 submissions from ten countries.
