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 environmental and climate issues as well as the 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. Please get in touch if you would like to discuss your proposed topic before you apply.
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 application for 2023 needs to be submitted online between April 16 and May 30, 2022, at: https://work.air-noe.at/

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.
ORTE offers an approximately 45 m² exhibition space in the Walter Zschokke Library in Krems. This "smallest building culture gallery in Austria" can offer space for the works of the artists or architects in residence and present their artistic and analytical view of building culture and landscape themes in the region. Suitable exhibition displays are available for this exhibition space.
