Live the Profession | Diego Stefani

OAM Architecture has won the second prize in the international competition “Vision made visible - Der Generalkonsulent” organized by Vasko & Partners to develop an inspiring visualization of the „Generalkonsulent“ as a key to aesthetics and efficiency in construction. The proposed installation is intended to be a representation of the path that the generalkonsulent faces to reach a target, it must face the complexity of projects and mix conflicts between artistic ambitions, technical feasibility and economic interests. The prize, after this effort, will be the idea transformed into reality. The architectural design provides different professions who have to work together in the best way to get satisfactory results, the main difficulty to achieve the goal is to make professions and professionals, that most of the time don’t collate, a TEAM. Within the design process, many aspects must be considered: economy, sustainability, green, healthcare, interior design, timing, convenience, concepts, comunications. To explain this multiplicity of shades and professions, the proposed elements have different angles and heights. Visitors who want to experience the pavilion must move in this multiple directions and heights “forest”, only the unilateral direction of the floor will allow them to maintain their way to the exit and the target may be visible only experiencing this multiplicity. Only the generalkonsulent, after having examined all these aspects, can have a unified view of this multiplicity and will be able to synthesize them into a final design and the setting up of a construction phase. To represent this idea, at the end of the path, all the elements will cooperate together to show a ‘unique’ final image: the University of Vienna Wu.
