with Elisabeth Haid
Josef Schroeck graduated from University of Innsbruck in 2010. He received a Master in Architecture with Disctinction. His Diploma Project “The Darwinian Monastery” was made under the supervision of Prof. Colin Fournier, UCL the Bartlett. He was awarded the “START Scholarship” (2013 with Elisabeth Haid) and the “Tische Scholarship” (2011) by the Austrian Ministry for Culture and Education, shortlisted for the Austrian Architectural “outstanding Artist Award 2012.” His work was exhibited at numerous locations like AFO Upper Austria and HDA Graz.
Josef is highly interested in using science and fiction to explore speculative ideas in utopian future cities. His work deals with the questions of reuse and recycling of abandoned infrastructure, examining the advantages of unexpected combinations through modifying context and utilization. Most recently his research explores the possibilities of reintroducing natural-manmade-lanscapes into the city-fabric as part of a sustainable urban ecosystem.
