Applications
for the Artist in Residence program
Who can apply?
In order to apply for an AIR scholarship in architecture, you must have completed your studies in a building culture field (architecture, urban development, urban planning, spatial planning, landscape planning, etc.). Austrian citizens and residents of Austria are excluded from the program. Scholarship recipients are required to reside in Krems for a minimum of 80% of the scholarship duration.
What are we looking for?
ORTE is dedicated to contemporary architecture education and building culture issues in Lower Austria and is interested in practice-related projects. We are looking for concepts that focus on living environments and local interaction, and are less interested in purely theoretical and scientific work or ones that address international phenomena not directly or clearly related to Lower Austria.
How and when to apply?
A jury of experts selects the applicants to be accepted into the AIR architecture program.
Application deadline for the following year is 30 May (the valid date is the postmark).
The following documents must be submitted in German or English:
Biography (max. 1-2 A4 pages)

Suggestion of work topic for the duration of the visit
(max. 6,000 characters incl. spaces)
Completed and signed application form
Applications that are a.) incomplete; or b.) surpass the listed size limits will be rejected without review.
What do we offer?
The duration of the stay is currently one to three months. We provide a studio and living space free of charge. Scholarship recipients will also be given a stipend of 1,300 EUR per month. ORTE provides you with opportunities to network with the Austrian building culture scene and possibly even to present your work to a broad audience.
