The exhibition hall of the Kunsthochschule Kassel has been awarded 1st prize in the HolzbauPlus 2022/23 competition in the main category of new buildings in wood. This was announced by the Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture.

The winners of the HolzbauPlus 2022/23 national competition have been announced. Federal Minister of Food and Agriculture Cem Özdemir presented ten competition entries in five categories with prize money and recognition at the German Timber Construction Congress. The Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture (BMEL) once again provided 50,000 euros for the prizes. This is the sixth time that the BMEL has honored construction work with wood and other renewable building materials as a contribution to climate-friendly and sustainable building culture.

The exhibition hall was inaugurated at the beginning of 2022. The building is located in the inner courtyard of the north building of the art academy. The design was created by the Austrian firm Innauer Matt Architekten.
