ELEMENTS OF RESPONSIBILITY
How do you use design to tell a story?
The sculpture "Elements of Responsibility" is presented as part of an honorary title award ceremony to people who are closely connected to the Federal Section of Civil Engineers or the profession, who can demonstrate outstanding professional achievements or who have made a special contribution to civil engineering.
2021 / 1st Place: Design of a Sculpture for the Honorary Title of the BSZI / Federal Chamber of Civil Engineers
The first sculpture and the associated honorary title went to Dr. Felix Ehrnhöfer, former Secretary General of the Federal Chamber of Civil Engineers and current Cabinet Chief in the Federal Ministry for Climate Protection, Environment, Energy, Mobility, Innovation and Technology.
The award of the honorary title took place as part of the award ceremony for the research prizes of the Federal Section of Civil Engineers on June 10, 2022 in SO/Vienna.

THE AWARD
The BSZI is made up of a variety of departments. In order to get an approach for the design, an attempt was made to extract the essence of the commonalities .
The result of this discussion are the three basic elements of the sculpture: The Society, the Drive and the Base .
These are symbols of daily activities and work for society within the framework of Austrian legislation.
THE IDEA
The confidently placed BKZT logo illustrates the connection to the profession of civil engineers.
The multi-layered structure not only symbolizes the complexity of the fields and tasks but also, through its transparent side view, signifies honesty and modesty.
Clearly readable linear shapes combined with visible screws emphasize technical precision.
The elegant, classic high-gloss plaque bears the honorary title and the name of the distinguished individual.
