An unconventional church concept: The listed parish church of Petrus Canisius is set to host bouldering activities in the future. Our highly sensitive design preserves the sacred interior atmosphere while creating a modern and vibrant space for sport, encounters, and urban life.

The “Grand Central” office building at Vienna’s Floridsdorf Station is a hybrid timber building par excellence, because the building complex had to be built as quickly as possible, due to its extremely busy location. In addition to this, this environmentally-friendly building method was also a game changer in terms of the key structural requirement – that the building had to be as light as possible due to the fact that it is supported by the metro tunnel that passes below it. The elegant role played by the (completely invisible) use of timber in the integrated design of the building with Building Information Modeling (BIM) comes as a particularly pleasant surprise.

ATP Asymetria, the Krakow office of ATP architects engineers, is repositioning itself: Following several years of close cooperation with the well-known Polish engineering company Tequm, the offices have now decided to merge in order to be able to provide all architecture and engineering services from a single source under the name ATP Krakow. This will enable the new office to benefit from the synergies offered by the entire ATP Group and to offer a complete range of design services in line with the ATP standard. ATP Krakow is headed by the architects Marek Borkowski and Witold Gilewicz, together with the engineer Marek Dyduch of Tequm.
