The Schelling Architecture Foundation awards the Schelling Architecture Prize biannually. In 2024, under the guiding principle of “Deep Transformations – Earth, Landscape, Architecture” the board of trustees has nominated three offices that leave classic professional profiles behind: Bureau Bas Smets from Brussels, LOLA Landscape Architects from Rotterdam and the Arquitectura Agronomia office of ETH and NSL professor Teresa Gali-Izard from Barcelona.
“Her Chair of Being Alive is already a kind of statement through its substantial name and deals with life cycles, living beings and the landscape as the basis of life for future generations,” writes the jury. She sees her task as a landscape architect to influence how people connect with these living systems. “Teresa Galí-Lizard provides radical impulses that can revolutionize our understanding of architecture and landscape.” The final selection of the winning office and the award ceremony will take place in November in Karlsruhe.
