The exhibition in the MAK DESIGN SPACE is presenting the winners of “Project Vienna—A Design Strategy. How to
React to a City?”, the competition of ideas held jointly by
MAK & departure.
More than a hundred submissions came
in from twenty countries; an expert jury chose three
projects, which won the day because of their subversive
approach and hypothetical, inspirational tendencies. With
his “A.R.S.A #01 – Architecture saves Austria”, Klaus
Stattmann developed a visor prosthesis for the statue of
Pallas Athene in front of the Parliament building as a monitoring
and surveillance medium in service of the population.
“UPgrading VIENNA” by VERY Architects/ex.it-architektur
disposes of old building substance and tourist sights by lifting
them up to the skies and creating space for the New,
whereas Marei Wollersberger/
Jessica Charlesworth lead
the Viennese into self-sufficiency with “Citizen Evolution”
and demonstrate which urban resources can be exploited in
an innovative way.
