This semester, Miki Martinek’s key theme with students at the Vienna University of Applied Arts is sustainable design. In cooperation with Gabarage, during the festival a group of students will develop solutions for upcycling design. Their topics for discussion include such formulations as low-cost design, slow design, zero design, design without consuming. Another group of upcoming design communicators will create a “design:caching” for visitors, a tour with the theme of design-watching, which will take visitors through the Freihaus quarter.
