Program

Land is our most valuable resource. The Earth has a finite surface. A careless or purely capital-driven treatment of this resource has changed the design and function of our towns and villages in the past decades.

Austrian Architecture in the 20th and 21st centuries at Architekturzentrum Wien.

The year 2020 marks the 150th anniversary of the birth of Adolf Loos. A welcome opportunity for the Az W to dedicate a showcase to this pioneer of modern architecture and an installation within 'a_show'.

The guided tour on 04.02. will take place online via zoom.

The guided tour will take place online via zoom.

Soil is a precious commodity, we live on and from it. How do we handle it? What is it composed of, and what can we do with earth? We look for answers to these questions in the exhibition ‘Land For Us All’, and then test soil samples for ourselves to see what we can do with them — like making paint or building houses.

On their tour, the spatial planner Sibylla Zech and the architect Renate Hammer focus on the challenges and opportunities involved in cooperation between architecture and spatial planning. In doing so they highlight both paradoxical situations and key Austrian land-use planning measures for the future.

The panel discussion will take place online via zoom.
