Urban Food & Design 2019 — Archiv 2019 — Vienna Design Week

For the second time, the Vienna Business Agency will examine together with the VIENNA DESIGN WEEK the groundbreaking theme Urban Food & Design with talks, tours, and presentations: Urban space is the decisive environment for development of a new consumer culture. This involves the important topics of production, distribution,marketing, and circulation of foodstuffs. Not only the origin of our food, production cycles that are as closed as possible and related issues concerning transportation, packaging, presentation are of interest, and those of healthy nutrition for everyone are especially important. Along these questions, creatives will visualize how new approaches can contribute to a future fabric of consumption as a whole in this year’s VIENNA DESIGN WEEK Festival Headquarters in the Althan Quartier.
