COOP HIMMELB(L)AU’s project Town Town Erdberg wins Sustainability Award

For its project Town Town Erdberg, COOP HIMMELB(L)AU will receive the Sustainability Award of the 2010 MIPIM Architectural Review Future Project Awards. The distinction will be presented during a prestigious ceremony at the international real estate summit MIPIM on March 17, 2010 in Cannes.

The intention of developing the office high-rise Town Town Erdberg was to generate a building which correlates to the principle ‘Aesthetics of Sustainability’. Through an energy active façade and an integrated wind turbine the building is producing more energy than it is actually consuming. “According to that, Town Town Erdberg is not a passive house but an active house,” said Wolf D. Prix, Design Principal and CEO of COOP HIMMELB(L)AU. The prototype of the energy façade is currently tested in cooperation with SFL Technologies.

Since 2002 the MIPIM Architectural Review Future Projects Awards have been granted for un-built or incomplete projects. Kieran Long, Editor-in-Chief of Architectural Review states: “With a strong focus on creativity, these awards are a chance to showcase schemes that are examples of fine architecture, but have also responded to the clients development brief, and considered the way in which they will impact and contribute to the community around them.”

COOP HIMMELB(L)AU’s Projekt Town Town Erdberg für Nachhaltigkeit ausgezeichnet
Für das Projekt Town Town Erdberg wird COOP HIMMELB(L)AU den Nachhaltigkeitspreis der diesjährigen MIPIM Architectural Review Future Project Awards erhalten. Die Auszeichnung wird während eines feierlichen Events auf der Immobilienmesse MIPIM am 17.03.2010 in Cannes vergeben.

Ziel bei der Entwicklung des Bürohochhauses Town Town Erdberg war die Generierung eines Gebäudes, das dem Prinzip der ‚Ästhetik der Nachhaltigkeit’ entspricht. Durch eine energieaktive Fassade und ein integriertes Windkraftwerk erzeugt das Gebäude mehr Energie als es verbraucht. “Demnach ist Town Town Erdberg kein Passivhaus sondern ein Aktivhaus”, so Wolf D. Prix, Design Principal und CEO von COOP HIMMELB(L)AU. Der Prototyp der Energiefassade wird derzeit in Zusammenarbeit mit der Firma SFL Technologies getestet.

Die MIPIM Architectural Review Future Projects Awards werden seit 2002 für ungebaute oder noch nicht fertiggestellte Projekte vergeben. Kieran Long, Chefredakteur der Architectural Review, erklärt: “Mit einem starken Fokus auf Kreativität geben diese Awards die Möglichkeit, Entwürfe zu zeigen, die Beispiele für schöne Architektur sind, die aber auch den Planungsauftrag des Bauherrn befolgen sowie eine Richtung geben, wie das Gebäude einen Beitrag für die Gesellschaft leisten kann.”
