ATP architects engineers has organized its second “Computational Design Hackathon.” Following the first, internal event at ATP Hamburg in December 2022, this second Hackathon took place in cooperation with Alejandro Fuentes Arias from the international design office KCAP at ATP’s headquarters in Innsbruck. Interested participants from the areas of architecture, engineering, and sustainability came together to jointly develop innovative solutions and, hence, optimize the architectural design process.

The shopping and district center in Ljubljana that was integrally designed with BIM by ATP architects engineers has won the Design and Development Award in the “New Shopping Centers from 15,001–45,000 sqm” category.

The Markas headquarters in Bolzano, which were integrally designed with BIM by ATP architects engineers, have been awarded the Austrian Green Planet Building Award 2023. The jury primarily emphasized the architecturally well-thought through combination of ecological and social sustainability: “The project sustainably draws on the entire reserve of climate-efficient building ideas while increasing the wellbeing of employees over the long term.”

The THEURL office building, which has already been awarded the Carinthian Timber Construction Prize 2021, is a landmark that underlines the identity of the company. The ATP design team skillfully highlighted the use of timber as a sustainable material both inside and outside the building: in the spruce of the distinctive vertical solar protection slats in front of the glass façade, the larch of the horizontal balcony strips, the generous entrance area, and the columns, beams, and ceiling elements of the atmospheric offices. With the exception of the reinforced concrete stair staircase, the entire building is made of wood and, hence, acts as a powerful symbol for the employees of the manufacturer of timber products.

The modernization of the old “Südtiroler Siedlung” in the district of Pradler Saggen is currently one of the largest residential construction projects in Innsbruck. By the end of 2026, around 550 new apartments are to be built on the site by the river Sill. Neue Heimat Tirol – Gemeinnützige WohnungsGmbH organized an invited, single-stage realization competition for the 4th and last phase of the residential development.
