STUDIO TROIKA WON THE BDW GRAND PRIX

02

London based studio Troika has been awarded with BDW Grand Prix by popular vote of the conference delegates. Troika thus follows the giant’s footsteps of earlier BDW champions like Mathieu Lehanneur, Patrizia Urquiola, Ross Lovegrove, Patrik Schumacher, Jaime Hayon, Konstantin Grcic and Peter Bonen of MUUTO.

– An inspiring array of speakers paired with an outstanding sense of hospitality, Belgrade Design Week fulfills every promises, said Sebastien Noel from Troika.

Troika is a London based studio founded by Eva Rucki, Conny Freyer and Sebastien Noel, known for their experimental practice and projects that employ a cross-disciplinary approach and intersect between sculpture, architecture, and contemporary installation. Troika were selected to create three art installations for the UK Pavilion at the World Expo Shanghai 2010. Their work explores the intersection of rational thought, observation and the changing nature of reality and human experience. Sebastien Noel was guiding us through the unique approach of their practice at BDW’s conference.

It was great for xarchitekten to be invited to BDW as Austrian Architects We were expecting a great time by experiencing all this different thinking’s on design issues. At first there was the road movie from Vienna to Belgrade: 600 Kilometers of flat land, an immense impression of wideness - like riding on a green ocean. Arriving Belgrade we were hosted by the perfect Organization and accompanied by very nice people of BDW. The most valuable element of BDW´s Performing, Discussing, Lecturing in the Theater, Visiting the Clubs and Restaurants of Belgrade has been the linking excellent thinking and facing experts coming from different fields of design as well as different regions of Europe. xarchitekten are convinced about the great role of BDW as an Place for multidisciplinary Evolution, therefore BDW is facing a great future. Hopefully xarchitekten will be connected to BDW again.
