The first cycle of our project took place in the summer semester 2023 and dealt with the topic "Cities / Buildings" in connection with climate change.

Initial exhibition at the TU Wien, 31.01. - 02.02.2023

The kick-off was the inspirational exhibition "Climate and City in Transition". The participatory exhibition invited you to visit five stations curated and realised by students and teachers of the Faculty of Architecture and Planning. In addition, works by the artists Daniela Brill Estrada, Monica C. LoCascio and Rolf Laven were shown.

The aim was to convey scientific content in a playful, experimental confrontation, which is subsequently further developed artistically by the participating classes in their individual lessons.
