Silence still reigns in Palazzo Bembo on the Canal Grande in Venice. But ATP’s preparations for the exhibition TIME – SPACE – EXISTENCE, which is being organized by the European Cultural Center (ECC), are in full swing.

“Healthy materials for healthy buildings” was the title under which Michael Haugeneder, Managing Director of ATP sustain Vienna, spoke at the Future of Building.

This year sees the first edition of the “Interdisciplinary Student Design & Engineering Challenge” – “ISDEC2030” for short. ‘2030’, because the student competition is aligned with the UN development objectives for 2030, which include sustainable cities and communities. Hence, resource-friendly, low-energy, and recycling-oriented are the keywords upon which the conception, design, and construction of the entered projects should focus.

"Health sector buildings are regarded as a special category of buildings because they put the common good at the heart of their core processes", explained Professor Christoph M. Achammer, CEO of ATP, during the expert discussion at the Open Day in Nuremberg.

As a pure architectural office and one of the youngest members of the ATP Group, the initial challenge facing ATP Nuremberg was complex. But within just a few years the now 40-strong team led by Managing Director Andreas Rieser has transformed the hospital planners Haid & Partner GmbH, which it took over in 2018, into a fully-fledged ATP office that offers a complete range of design services.
