We are all familiar with the classic architecture games, from building blocks that become daring structures to board games where the players compete for spatial-strategic advantages. What are, though, the architecture narratives invested in doll's houses, along which guidelines do cities grow in computer games, and what kind of buildings shield ego-shooters from their assailants? The exhibition "Serious Fun" shows and examines architecture games and toys, inviting you to be astonished, to play and to reflect.

The famous Canadian photographer Geoffrey James explores the legacy of Jože Plečnik and his transformation of Ljubljana as a Gesamtkunstwerk. James reveals the social and sensual aspects of Plečnik's work, which are rarely shown in architectural photographs. Taken with a hand-held camera at different times of day and seasons, the photographs explore the complexity of Plečnik's urban spaces and capture their intimacy and social processes.

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.

On the first Sunday of the school holidays there is space at the Az W for the big LEGO building site. Large and small architects are invited to join in and help build LEGO City.

What is a city made of and how do you move through one? What can we do against overheating? And what else do we need to give special awareness to today? We’ll find inspiration in the exhibition, think about what your city should look like, and then build it with Bioblo.

Our impressive depot is located on the grounds of a former locomotive factory in Möllersdorf. Don't miss this unique opportunity to peer into the cosmos of the Az W Collection.

What are all the things we need in a city? Homes, schools, police, fire fighters, a theatre and much more. Where can people pass their time? What do streets, squares, green spaces and playgrounds look like? We use an urban game to playfully conquer the public space in the Museumsquartier, and then we put the nearby playgrounds to the test.

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.
