Press Coverage
The third Schindler Award 2008 under the motto "To Reclaim the Public Ground" has attracted significant media attention in Europe. In total, around 100 print and over 3'000 online publications reported on the last Award. Furthermore three television broadcasts in Austria (ORF 2), Slovakia (Slovak International Broadcast) and Switzerland (Tele Tell) were screened during prime time.
By making "Access for All" the primary task of the competition, Schindler hopes to encourage future architects to create a better-designed world in which well-considered architectural design and intelligent elevator technology overcome remaining barriers.
Media coverage is key to improving awareness and, based on the response to the Schindler Award 2008, the issue of access is one with widespread resonance. Most of the coverage was in architectural journals and magazines, but the Award attracted interest from the mainstream media as well. Geographically coverage was concentrated in Western Europe – where the Award has been established longest – but it was also picked up in countries such as Turkey or Greece.
