Vicky Müller
Prize winner
“Stille Räume in der Stadt – Neue Ruheorte im städtischen Raum”
Vicky Müller’s master project thematizises places of quietness in town – and receives remarquable actuality with regard to the present political events. Vicky Müller consciously faces the aspect of believe as well as the general possibilities of retreat in public space. At different locations in Karlsruhe a system and a grammar of spatial methods are developped. The choice of locations and their derivation are conclusively deduced and proved. The master project persuades by individual and specific stylistic elements. The different variants demonstrate in an amazing way their own character and an extraordinary quality of creative design and space.

Medal
Cultural context is a matrix for Kroeker, from which intelligent solutions for future tasks can be developed. Thus he learns from native people of the Canadian East Coast, the Miqmacs, about materials and techniques which are transferred into his buildings.
Kroeker is exploring the opportunities to build well, even under economically and climatically difficult conditions. He has a gift for inspiring to support. In 2011 Kroeker lectured in Düsseldorf as a guest professor.
Richard Kroeker is honoured with the medal of the Schelling Architecture Prize 2008.

Medal
High engineer knowledge, ardent interest in building history, susceptibility to form and material as well as creative courage are unseperately incorporated in the work of Conzett. Whether he designs himself or cooperates with architects the convincing unity of structure and design is always surprising.
Jürg Conzett is constantly expanding his already commendably diversified expertise of load-bearing structures for bridges and buildings. He curated the Swiss Biennale Pavilion 2010, lectured at Harvard and takes the time to work on major publications.
Jürg Conzett is honoured with the medal of the Schelling Architecture Prize 2008.
