Guided TOUR 1: LIVE AND DESIGN ROOMS
Alexa Brauner, VIENNA DESIGN WEEK
27.9.–5.10.2019
What distinguishes the 9th district? How can its soul and spirit be characterized? And what do its residents and visitors think, feel, and wish for themselves? Together, participants of this tour explore the potential of design for the city’s Alsergrund district. The spectrum extends from conservation of special moments with the aid of precious metal to the literal gossip mill in the public space. In many places, the exploration of wishes and emotions is expressed in the form of new spaces that illustrate the neighborhood’s versatility or try to shine a new light on it: Whether in the public space, in workshops with a rich tradition, in display cases, or in our own thoughts, whether lying on a public couch, in real or virtual space. Embedded in settings created especially for the festival, the tours, lasting a maximum of two and a half hours, are like kaleidoscopes, just like the district itself. The tours start at Galvanik Austria and lead to selected projects of the formats Stadtarbeit and Passionswege.
