About the Project
Designing for the future entails considering how we envision our way of life evolving amidst the growth of Vienna. This growth brings about shifts in lifestyles, consumption patterns, and novel challenges like pandemics. What will the city's landscape look like in the days to come? The design process delves into the intricate connections between cultural and urban landscapes, particularly in the peripheral area of Donaustadt, and how these connections will manifest in the future. The juxtaposition of old villages nestled amidst green spaces alongside towering commercial structures creates a diverse urban fabric in this rapidly expanding district of Vienna. This endeavor requires the collaborative efforts of architects and urban planners working across disciplines.This new design strategy encourages strategic thinking and identifies spatial structures that are similar. It facilitates a layered approach where interconnected points form what we refer to as "The Grid."
