TOUR OF WORKSHOPS IN THE 2ND DISTRICT
Rosalie Lorenz, Miriam Raggam-Alji, Mariyam Malik, VIENNA DESIGN WEEK, Unsichtbares Handwerk
29.9.2023, 5pm–8pm
What is the history of handcrafts in the 2nd district? And what role do they play today? The outreach team of the VIENNA DESIGN WEEK joins up with the research series HIDDEN CRAFTS, which stretches back several years, to search for answers and take a look behind the workbench! Participants in the tour gain an insight into the day-to-day life of the workshop and the working processes of artisans and artists, with whom they can discuss how they choose their materials, their personal sources of inspiration for new designs, life hacks that help them in their daily work, their own favorite pieces, and much, much more.
A binding reservation must be made in advance at https://viennadesignweek.reservix.at/
Please be at the meeting point 15 minutes before the start of the tour.

From the meeting point to location 1 we have a walking time of about 2 minutes.
Location 1: The entrance step of this location has a height of 22.5 cm, with a door width of 118 cm.
From location 1 to location 2 we have a walking time of about 15 minutes.
Place 2: The entrance to the workshop is designed with a staircase with a height of less than 16 cm and a large tread. After the step surface comes a raised doorway with a height and depth of about 10 cm each. There is also a mobile ramp that can be placed in the entrance to provide step-free access. The ramp has a slope of 9.8%, there is no railing.
Since location 2 is a workshop where wood is worked with, there may be some dust exposure. If you have previous exposure, it is recommended that you wear an FFP2 mask.
If you feel ill, we also ask you not to participate in the tour out of consideration for the other participants and the facilitators*. Thank you very much!
