"Your analysis of the site and its manifolded functions is focussed on environmental issues mainly.
A simple cylindrical object might be an intelligent solution for this. I am very sorry , however, to see that your design lacks some fine detail work yet-
1 the facades need an treatment so birds dont get hurt by accidents!
2 the close landscape has not enough design impact on the access area- you need to create spaces for walkers, skateboraders, sportsmen of all sorts..
3 I question: Will this light sculpture offer a message of elegancy in the area of Semmering? What construction details can the roof area, the open terrace area offer? What kind of facetted, attractive glass facade will the pavillon get? It is up to your fine design work! Therefore more work has to be done- a) the sculptural language of the access walk b) access areas for pedestrians, skateboarders, bicycles etc. c)interior furniture
Here my suggestions:
1 please imagine more and new information media for the next generation in the pavillon(f.i. for children?)
2 Please configurate and create useful interior spaces of the pavillon– for families at times of „rainy weather“.
3 How will you create a „light sculpture“ in the Alps?- without disturbing the wildlife of the region…
I wish you good procedure for inventing an iconic statement!" - Prof. Auböck Maria

"The projects offered the the best answers on the question how contemporary Semmering Visitor´s Center should should be designed. Their research, development and presentation offering the answer on manyquestions we may have last weeks, thus ensuring a smooth transition from 19.- and 20. century objects who are dominating the landscape to more sensible ecological planning and contemporary constructions. Project sharing the similar typological model: single objects with spectacular view inside-out. In the same time, they are modest in size and their own presence. " - Prof. Mladen Jadric

"The work of this team: has a high respect for natural ecosystems; is placed in the slope with an open Architecture to the natural landscape of the mountain; has an average level in the interaction with the place; welcomes visitors in large environments that however do not return inside the atmosphere of the mountain except for the wide view of the valley; has an average level of accessibility for all." - Prof. Renzo Lecardane

"Very transparent architectural form, very open architectural space. The scale of the building is well controlled, creating a pleasant space." - Prof. HU Yanze

"The propose design is very simple but poetic and respect the site condition and surrounding panorama. It would be better to suggest the sectional consept to adapt the harsh climate and eco-system of roof to consider the natural vegetation of high mountain area." - Prof. WOO Shinkoo

"Transparent circular deck, community functions such as sperm, rooftop landscaping, natural view" - Prof. YOO Jaewoo

"As mensioned in second evaluation, selecting location and mass shape form through accurate topography analysis is the good point of this design. The Alp's traditional material of wood meets geometric forms, completing new yet traditional architecture." - Prof. CHUNG Jaehoon

"The analysis of built form, site and function is well displayed. I appreciate your clear attitude of a strong form- it offers interesting connection points within and outside with elements of Hochstrasse and adds up with the prismatic objects of villas and hotels buildings. I question, that the changing colors oft he facade will interfere with the clean design! This object offers a message of sturdiness and contact to nature - as a new core in the center of Semmering. Please stay in your use of material with wood, stone, glass - natural materials support your design work! Much said- there is more work to be done- on a) more qualification of the sculptural language of the facades and b) more space for individual recreation in the interior- the big sofas are „overdone“ – rather use for your lounge areas f.i. a fireplace tha is in the cool climate of Semmering even in summer a nice add-on… c) I like your ideas for integration of climbing walls etc..also think about use of rooftops and the close surrounding f.i. for access areas for pedestrians,skateboards, bicycles etc. d) even the integration of animal life in the “tower“ like bird nests etc could add to your imagination..
I wish you good procedure for inventing an iconic statement!" - Prof. Auböck Maria

"The research phase was a good start for your group. Your analysis of of this site and use of metapher of“chain of pearls“ for the qualities of Hochstrasse is very interesting start, thanks to the graphic display and the choice of four icons- „the Walk“ between buildings is an important issue to renew the discussion of Semmering as „Magic Mountain“ and as Tourist site. Here are my questions: What construction details can your walk offer? What kind of facetted, attractive facades will these pavillons get? It is up to your fine design work! Therefore more work has to be done- on a) the sculptural language of the walk b) ideas for useful interior design and. for access areas for pedestrians, skateboarders, bicycles etc.
Here my suggestions:
1 please imagine playful new recreation uses for the next generation along side the walk
2 Please configurate and create useful interior spaces of the pavillons(for young families as well as sportsmen-– for times of „rainy weather“.
3 Will you create a row of„light sculpture“ in the Alps?- without disturbing the wildlife of the region…
I wish you good procedure for inventing an iconic statement!" - Prof. Auböck Maria

"The work of this team: has a high respect for natural ecosystems; has a very high ability to create Architecture by working on the theme of the slope; has high level of technological equipment; has a high level of interaction with the natural ecosystem as expressed in the final drawings; has very high potential in re-imagining the dimension of mountain tourism as a place of reception of visitors and panoramic viewpoint; has a high level of accessibility to all; has a high level of landscape production (harmonious balance between natural and anthropic ecosystems)." - Prof. Renzo Lecardane

"The design is very sensitive to the conditions of the base, and an effective response has been made. The shape of the building is not only free, but also restricted by the surrounding vegetation and topography." - Prof. HU Yanze

"The design of this team is very interesting and creative giving visitors unique experience of walking circulation. However, it would be better to adapt the scale of the design to the surrounding environemnt. " - Prof. WOO Shinkoo

"I appreciate the research and attitude of your form finding process. Here I want to suggest how to deepen your intentions and add quality to your project in next days:
1 position of the building - it offers interesting connection points with the surrounding- how will you deal with access and walks, slopes nearby – will there be some seating near the walks, can you offer f.i. telescope views –either on balconies or on your access „Floating Walk“?Think about Carlo Mollino working for clients in the Alps north of Torino!
2 to add more intensity I suggest to rethink the roof – it can be a landscape- and offers more view points
3 The Use of color in natural surroundings is very suggestive- make use of it! Your facades should be an eyecatcher from far away.
The raffinesse of the building is up to your fine design and therefore more work has to be done- on a) the sculptural language of the facades and b) the design of the interior spaces, useful for families with small children.. c)ideas for design of picknick areas and access for pedestrians, bicycles, downhill skiiing, d) make use of animalaided design- preventing accidents in windows for birds, accessability for deer etc.

I wish you a good procedure for the finale!" - Prof. Auböck Maria

"The poetic display of fantastic imaginations was a good start for your group .Your analysis of the history of this site and its manifolded functions is well displayed. For this, I am very sorry to see that your design of the red access walk on subconstruction is not responding to the slope and the glass cylinder for information pavillon is a difficult form in shaping the interior design! In your graphic sketch your intention is seen, but they need more interesting connection points within the fluidity of Hochstrasse so that your glass cylinder adds up with the prismatic objects of villas and hotels buildings. I want to ask you to rethink the form of the two major items- the walk more zigzag and the object elliptic- they then could be strong icons- and important to renew the discussion of Semmering as „Magic Mountain“ and as Tourist site. I question: Will this light sculpture offer a message of elegancy as a new core in the center of Semmering? What construction details can the red walk offer? What kind of facetted, attractive glass facade will the pavilon get? It is up to your fine design work! Therefore more work has to be done- on a) the sculptural language of the walk b) ideas for integration of the sites underneath the red walk f.i. for access areas for pedestrians, skateboarders, bicycles etc. Here my suggestions:
1 please imagine more and new recreation uses for the next generation along side the red walk (like“High Line“ NYC is an outlook post with seatings)
2 Please configurate and create useful interior spaces oft he pavillon– for times of „rainy weather“.
3 Will you create a „light sculpture“ in the Alps?- without disturbing the wildlife of the region…

"The work of this team: has a high respect for natural ecosystems; has a high ability to create Architecture through the imagery of an architecture seemingly out of context that instead offers wide spaces to the connection with the paths of the mountain; has a high level of intensity in terms of references with the architecture of the master Oscar Neimeyer; declines the relationship with the Hotel through the theme of pedestrian paths in the slope of the mountain in relation to the main access route; has a high level of landscape production (harmonious balance between natural and anthropic ecosystems)." - Prof. Renzo Lecardane

"Your display of several pavillons I appreciate. It is a global thinking to connect landscape within circuits and make buildings fluid. For this I would enhance your project and add more information and design work in the facades and uses of roofs. I suggest that this prismatic objects should get more sculptural interest by attractive facades- the buildings and walks could even be used as climbing parcours . Will local materials offer possibilties of varied integrationn in your concept? or will you try to homogenize your architectural language- wood facades, tiles for roofs?
I suggest to select building materials that are useful in this region- and integrate in building methods that keep quality- you can adapt your design-especially in the use of stone wall, roof landscapes, etc. It is up to your fine design work how windows, doors, pergolas or risen walks in the nature will look like! therefore more work is to be done- on a) the sculptural language of your facades and b) All your buildings could make use of rainwater, have solar panels installed etc. c)please enhance the siteplan that includes an „inside“landscape and and“outside“ connection with new and existing walking trails- so we can understand the position of your buildings in the natural site- I wish good luck in finalizing this interesting project! " - Prof. Auböck Maria

"The projects offering interesting idea about the cluster of similar objects. Concept design by both teams who are sharing the second place are offering a group of buildings instead of single one. General critic is that the connections between them is not involving closer and more sensible contact with topography. " - Prof. Mladen Jadric

"The work of this team: has a high respect for natural ecosystems; has a very high ability to create Architecture by connecting spaces in relation to the topography of the mountain; has a high level of interaction with the site; has a very high potential to re-imagine the tourism dimension of the mountain with the proposal of services that go beyond those intended for reception, has a high level of accessibility to all; has a high level of landscape production (harmonious balance between natural and anthropic ecosystems)." - Prof. Renzo Lecardane

"The architectural layout forms an organic enclosure, creating a pleasant outdoor space. The linear connection between the spaces is impressive." - Prof. HU Yanze

"careful layout of small independent buildings to respect the surrounding envrionment. It would be better to suggest more elaborate design about the structure and material to fit into the forest." - Prof. WOO Shinkoo

"Four facilities, including guest houses and exhibition facilities, harmonization between facilities, and a straight stairway on a steep slope are somewhat unrealistic." - Prof. YOO Jaewoo

"Positive assessment of the beautiful layout of buildings fused to the terrain. Negative point is that there has not been much improvement in the design that has been carried out until the second evaluation." - Prof. CHUNG Jaehoon

"I appreciate the decision for free standing sculptural forms you chose, which offer as „Folly“ some inspiration in context of local culture. Therefore my suggestions will go towards adding more material choice, more detail and qualified despriptions of installations and their use.
This region of Lower Austria is famous for strong cultural events. Your projects suggest locations for small concerts, special ballets interventions, literature displays etc. I suggest to enhance these programs in next days. :
1 position of the objects- each place and position will offer interesting connection points with the surrounding- please deal with access and seating areas and how to keep the slopes nearby natural
2 Material choice: It is up to your fine design work! I suggest to use rock, glass, wood- less concrete slabs- for this material choices more work has to be done- on a) the sculptural form of your objects b) design of meeting areas for children and grown ups c) intelligent ideas for integration of the close surrounding f.i. for access areas for pedestrians, school busses, d) even the integration of solar power could add to your imagination..
3 please create modern, exhibition spaces for the next generation
4 Please configurate and create a few useful interior spaces for families – for times of „rainy weather“.
5 how do you imagine the night scenery – will you find indirect lighting for your Follies?
I wish you good procedure for finalizing this chain of cultural pearls!" - Prof. Auböck Maria

"I appreciate the chosen scuptural form of „Tiny House with big View“, which offers some inspiration for me to suggest how to deepen your intentions and add quality to your project in next days:
1 position of the building - it offers interesting connection points with the surrounding- how will you deal with access and walks, slopes nearby – will there be some seating near the walks, can you offer f.i. telescope views –either on balconies or on your access „Floating Walk“?
2 to add more intensity I suggest to rething the roof landscape- it is a great chance to integrate the pavillon in the site if you remember work of Lois Welzenbacher, Philipp Lutz, Rainer Köberl etc.and how they work with textured facades, long roofs and exterior columns, etc, …
3 The Use of natural materials is very suggestive- make displays for it! The raffinesse of the building is up to your fine design and therefore more work has to be done- on a) the sculptural language of the facades and b) the design oft he interior spaces c)ideas for integration of the close surrounding f.i. for access areas for pedestrians, bicycles, downhill skiiing, d) even the integration of roff windows and solar power could add to your imagination" - Prof. Auböck Maria

"The analysis of climatic and natural conditions is well researched and displayed. I appreciate the three functional programs, the Eisenbahn gallery could have some balcony use or other functions on the outdoor sites, f.i. on the roofs? The Wald Cafe offers interesting wildlife connection points, if you make extra birdwatching facilities possible. For the Mehrzweck gallery I suggest that this prismatic object should get more sculptural interest by enhancing the facades- even as climbing parcours . Will these three elements offer diverse use of materials or will you try to homogenize their architectural language ? Therefore I suggest to select building materials that are useful in this region- and integrate in building methods that keep quality- you can adapt your design-especially in the use of stone wall, roof landscapes, etc. It is up to your fine design work! therefore more work is to be done- on a) the sculptural language of your facades and b) All your buildings could make use of rainwater, have solar panels installed etc. c)please add a siteplan that includes the connections with new and existing walking trails- so we can understand the position of your buildings- I wish good luck in finalizing this interesting project" - Prof. Auböck Maria

"I appreciate the chosen scupural form of „Folded Forest“, which offers some inspiration for suggestions for me how you will deal with adding quality in next days:
1 position of the building - it offers interesting connection points with the surrounding- how will you deal with access and walks, slopes nearby ?
2 rooftop use- it is a great chance to integrate the „Folded Forest“ in the site… if you consider the buildings roof top as „zig zag“ Promenade – I suggest to look for alternatives to the reilings- They look rather skinny. I suggest to create planted roofs with walks within, and reilings integrated in shrubbery- so you do not have to show them.. It is up to your fine design work! therefore more work is to be done- on a) the sculptural language of the facades and b) design oft he interior spaces c)ideas for integration of the close surrounding f.i. for access areas for pedestrians, scool busses, d) even the integration of solar power could add to your imagination..
Here my suggestions:
1 please create modern, exhibition spaces for the next generation
2 please make use of roof terraces or roof gardens f.i. herb gardens, beehives, bird watching tower?
3 Please configurate and create useful interior spaces – for times of „rainy weather“.
4 Will the Folded Forest window arrangement be specially constructed?- Open panoramic windows are a specialty of tourism in this region…

"Your display of four viewpoints as pavillons I appreciate. It is clear and obvious to connect the given landscape between buildings and make the process of a „Walk“ fluid. For this please enhance your project of „four pearls on a chain“ with in-between small atractions, you should add more information and design work in the facades and uses of roof landscapes. I suggest that this prismatic objects should get more sculptural interest by attractive facades- the buildings and walks could even be used as climbing parcours . Will you integrate local materials ?They offer possibilities of varied integration -or will you try to homogenize your architectural language- wood facades, tiles for roofs?
I suggest to select building materials that are useful in this region- and integrate in building methods that keep quality- you can adapt your design-especially in the use of stone wall, roof landscapes, etc. It is up to your fine design work how windows, doors, pergolas or risen walks in the nature will look like! therefore more work is to be done- on a) the sculptural language of your facades and b) All your buildings could make use of rainwater, have solar panels installed etc.
