Winners of the Euregional Architecture Prize 2024
First Prize: Wo Wir Alt Werden
The winning project by Charlotte Dahmen and Marlene Kossmann explores the question: where do we grow old? The jury praised their in-depth research and innovative designs, featuring small yet impactful interventions in urban typologies. The project combines sustainability, social impact, and urban planning, demonstrating how architecture can offer future-proof solutions.
Second Prize: Material Fabrik Köln Kalk
The second prize (€ 1,250) was awarded to Luka Hauschild (FH Aachen) for Material Fabrik Köln Kalk. This project transforms an old industrial building with a focus on reuse and circularity. The result is a multifunctional space that preserves nearly all original elements.
