Program

The new Permanent Exhibition at the Architekturzentrum Wien: Going against the current trend for increasing economic constraints on their collections, the new Permanent Exhibition of the Az W sets standards in the production and sharing of knowledge.

With a total of 80,000 euros in prize money, the EU Mies Award is the premier European architecture prize. It is a seismograph for architectural developments in Europe and even for the inspirational capacity of the transformative potential of architecture.

The new permanent collection of the Architekturzentrum Wien provides insights into the most significant and extensive collection on Austrian architecture of the 20th and 21st centuries. The focus is on the investigation of key objects, both high-profile and lesser-known items. Seven hot questions bring cold storage to life.

After a break of two years, Advent in the 7th district starts again this year with a walk of a special kind - on December 5, visitors can expect a lively and diverse cultural program of music, literature, theater, architecture and much more.

Every two years the premier European Union Prize for Contemporary Architecture - Mies van der Rohe Award, is presented to outstanding achievements in the European architecture sector. Prizes are awarded to projects whose innovative character provides orientation or even serves as a manifesto for the development of contemporary architecture.

The health centre of the future will add multiprofessional health and social services to primary care. But how are such centres designed and who plans them?

Today things are going to get sweet, yummy smelling and brightly coloured at the Az W. Concrete is being replaced by gingerbread, connections are made of sugar frosting and toothpicks — et voilà, wild gingerbread structures. What will the gingerbread houses of the future look like? Fans of embellishment can decorate with sugar, as a tried and tested method.
