Happy!! After the KinderKunstLabor in June, KuKu23 in Vienna-Liesing is now also featured on the cover of db deutsche bauzeitung. Franziska Leeb describes the quarter as a lively piece of city, where affordable housing, spaces for creative work and an accessible cultural programme are woven together from the history of the former coffin factory.

Thank you to editor-in-chief Martin Hoechst and to Franziska Leeb for this wonderful feature.

AiT Dialog – Code and Context

As part of the O P E N event series, Jan Schellhoff of UNS – United Network Studio in Amsterdam and Michael Salvi of Studio Salvi Weber in Vienna discussed their positions on AI and parametric design processes in architecture.

We were delighted that so many of you came to visit our Berlin office, despite temperatures close to 40 degrees.

With a selection of models brought over from Vienna, we turned the office into a small exhibition for the afternoon. On display were selected projects including the KinderKunstLabor in St. Pölten, Salzburg Museum NEU & Belvedere Salzburg, and the Ballonhalle – Centre for Materials Science and Conservation.

We are thrilled!
The Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) has honoured KinderKunstLabor with a 2026 International Award for Excellence.

Awards group chair Neil Gillespie:
‘These projects demonstrate a confidence in architecture's ability to create delight and dignity while working within existing constraints – whether environmental, social or economic. Rather than relying on spectacle, they show the value of thoughtful, enduring design that is rooted in context and capable of enriching everyday life.’

Building for children

Thank you, Wojciech Czaja, for the wonderful article in Deutsche Bauzeitung about the KinderKunstLabor.

A partnership project on every level: the BSR headquarters and berlinovo come together to form the S!nn Campus.
The starting point for a new place of encounter, based on designs by Franz&Sue and Studio Salvi Weber.

With the symbolic groundbreaking ceremony, Dr Nicole Hoffmeister-Kraut, Minister of Economic Affairs, Labour and Tourism of Baden-Württemberg, and Markus Böll, President of Bauwirtschaft Baden-Württemberg, yesterday gave the official go-ahead for the new Geradstetten Education Centre.

Our office has won the competition for the extension of the Museum Wiesbaden.
The new building will expand the exhibition space and include a café, offering new opportunities for dialogue and encounters (not only for Swifties ;) 

Otto Bäuerle, project lead for the KinderKunstLabor at Studio Salvi Weber, is a guest at PULSE Prague. The KinderKunstLabor is a finalist in the Public Building category and will be presented as part of the event.

We are proud to announce that our project KinderKunstLabor has been nominated for the EUmies Awards 2026.

We’re excited!
The KinderKunstLabor St. Pölten has been shortlisted in the Cultural Project category for the Dezeen Awards 2025. 
This international award recognizes projects that combine creativity, social relevance, and architectural quality.

Summer evening by the Donaukanal with the entire Studio Salvi Weber team.

Last weekend, the Salzburg nomination jury was on tour. Dietmar Hribernig (Winker+Ruck Architekten), Anja Innauer (@nona_architektinnen) and Michael Salvi travelled through the Salzburg region on 13 and 14 June, visiting all submitted projects and exchanging ideas with the clients and architects.
