Fill this form to have the opportunity to join the New Generations platform: submissions will be reviewed on a daily-basis, and the most innovative practices will have the chance to be part of the media's coverage and participate in our cultural agenda, including events, research projects, workshops, exhibitions and publications.
New Generations is a European platform that investigates the changes in the architectural profession ever since the economic crisis of 2008. We analyse the most innovative emerging practices at the European level, providing a new space for the exchange of knowledge and confrontation, theory, and production.
Since 2013, we have involved more than 3.000 practices from more than 50 countries in our cultural agenda, such as festivals, exhibitions, open calls, video-interviews, workshops, and experimental formats. We aim to offer a unique space where emerging architects could meet, exchange ideas, get inspired, and collaborate.

Bogen 131 is part of Innsbruck's longest building: A railway viaduct which crosses the district of Saggen from the main station to the river Inn.
Located at number 131, it lies at the intersection of the historical inner city and a commercial zone – a place where different building types, programs and user groups come together.
David Fink, Lukas Fink, Tobias Fink were asked to convert a former darts club into a bicycle shop. In addition to the maximum utilisation of the existing structure and the re-use of existing materials, they tried to use the programme in order to create new qualities of public space.
With storage and a small workshop on the upper floor
The facade serves on the one hand as clear display and separation between inside and outside, and on the other hand it becomes a filter space which invites one to stay and rest.
The main entrance is marked by a large canopy, a bench and a shop window which create an intimate space in the city.
On the opposite side is a secondary entrance and delivery – visible through a cantilevered overhead crane.
That intertwines interior and exterior space with a large door on the top floor.
The shape of the windows is adapted to the existing facade openings. The interior is divided only by furniture, which separates the sales area from the serving area and develops a sculptural character from their respective function.
The project was realised during the global Covid-19 pandemic. For the whole building process a team of carpenters was permanently employed, the architects recount. For them, this condition allowed the coordination of the construction site from afar, as well as very specific technical solutions.
