19. Mostra Internazionale di Architettura – Padiglione Austriaco

Comunicato stampa

Commissioner: The Arts and Culture Division of the Federal Ministry for Art, Culture, the Civil Service and Sport of Austria
Curators: Sabine Pollak, Michael Obrist, Lorenzo Romito

Taking the cities of Vienna and Rome as their starting points, the curators compare the top-down model of social housing in Vienna with the bottom-up practices of self-organization pursued by civil society in Rome. The curators ask what a nationally or municipally organized system and an informal activist approach can learn from one another. In this way, the Austrian Pavilion becomes a place for sharing knowledge about how we can create better living for all.
