2020 Visions for the Schools of Tomorrow
Lecture and Discussion

Date: Wed, Apr 13, 19:00
Venue: Architekturzentrum Wien - Podium

Visions for the schools of tomorrow: there is no lack of slogans - from individually tailored open learning to de-schooling and virtual educational settings. But which of the visions are desirable, what spatial concepts and architectural solutions are required for their realisation? All of this is discussed in a panel discussion with architects, teaching experts, educational scientists and pupils.

The new 20,000 sqm educational campus on the grounds of the central train station is to represent a pilot project for 0 to14 year-olds with a kindergarten, a primary school and a secondary school. A didactic spatial concept with a catalogue of the qualities required in its realisation was worked out in cooperation with teaching experts as the basis for the open two-stage competition. The projects submitted to the competition and selected for the 2nd stage are presented in the exhibition, and form the starting point for a discussion on current trends in Viennese school building.

sundays 243: the school of the future

Date: Sun, Mar 06, 13:00-17:00
Venue: Architekturzentrum Wien - Alte Halle

The exhibition, conceived by Christian Kühn, Antje Lehn and Renate Stuefer and supplemented in cooperation with the Az W, addresses the interrelationship between the architectural space and teachers and teaching. It provides everybody directly or indirectly involved with education and its spatial requirements with an opportunity to explore the treatment of space playfully in full-scale installations, and to develop their own visions for the school of the future.
Following a tour of the exhibition, the sonntags excursion includes a guided tour by the curators to recent examples in and around Vienna.
The sonntags excursion takes in new examples in the city of Vienna following the curators\' guided tour.
