BUSarchitektur

Since its establishment in 1986 in Buenos Aires by Claudio J. Blazica (1956-2002) and Laura P. Spinadel, the architectural firm has consistently pursued innovative and experimental architecture, achieving remarkable success under Spinadel's leadership in Vienna since 2003, gaining international recognition.

The firm's dedication to architectural excellence was celebrated when it received the prestigious "Outstanding Artist Award for Experimental Trends in Architecture" in Austria in 1988. This accolade was in recognition of the firm's master plan of the Mataderos district in Buenos Aires, showcasing their creative approach and commitment to pushing boundaries in architecture.

Another significant milestone was acknowledging the firm's expertise in sustainable urban design with the "Otto Wagner Urban Planning Award." The visionary "Compact City" concept implemented in Vienna garnered widespread acclaim, further solidifying the firm's reputation as a leader in developing forward-looking solutions.

Throughout its journey, the firm's standing in the architectural community has been bolstered by successful projects such as STAR 22 - A Center for All, Kurpark Oberlaa Neu densification, Forum Schönbrunn in Vienna, and the "Hoffmann geht spazieren" project in Purkersdorf. The firm's exceptional campus designs, including Uni-Med in Graz, ITMO in St. Petersburg, Lübeck in Germany, and Cummins College Road in India, have garnered significant praise.

The firm's outstanding achievements have been honoured with numerous prestigious awards, including the CICA Urban Planning Award, Biennale BA15, and the Plischke Prize, all of which were received in 2015 for their exemplary master plan, architecture, and landscape planning for the WU Wien campus. Additionally, the firm takes great pride in earning the Vienna Architecture Award and many other notable accolades.
