VIENNA DESIGN WEEK/Kollektiv Fischka/Niko Havranek

Design for all! The VIENNA DESIGN WEEK with its great diversity of workshops and tour programs is inviting visitors of all ages to join in and be informed, entertained, and inspired. In short: to experience design in the flesh. Besides the fascinatingly diverse explorations through Vienna in general and the Festival District of Rudolfsheim-Fünfhaus in particular, the VIENNA DESIGN WEEK 2017 offered educational programs on key themes such as architecture, social design, and handicrafts. And the younger generation? The various children’s workshops were the best guarantee for the designers of tomorrow. Specials for school classes: Our school tours with design°mobil showed how design influences our daily life and where design happens in Vienna. Moreover, there was a handout for teachers to help them do a guided tour of their own with their students through the world of design.
