DEPARTURE TOUR 1: ARCHITECTURE IN FOCUS

Wirtschaftsagentur Wien

3.10.2017, 4pm–6pm

The eclectic neighborhood tour through the southern portion of Vienna’s 15th district began at the Festival Headquarters South, once a branch of the Zentralsparkasse bank which was revamped by Johann Georg Gsteu from 1970 to 1974. Heading north, participants then explored urban developments in the up-and-coming district, visiting properties currently being renovated and coworking spaces located in a former metals warehouse, tracked down intelligent design of open spaces, and fashionable interiors of new bars and restaurants, and enjoyed unexpectedly impressive urban views, such as the overwhelming outlook from Rustensteg – the old pedestrian bridge over the Western Railway tracks – all the way to the Gloriette.
