The professionally equipped and dynamically changing settings for these lectures in the Festival Headquarters offered a perfect framework for a broad range of discussion events, which traced the connections between the various festival formats. A selection of talks and panels was broadcast live on the social media channels of the VIENNA DESIGN WEEK and recorded for later use.
