Stadtarbeit 2013

City Work (Stadtarbeit) deals with the design of urban and social spaces in all their variety and complexity. The young format takes the further development and expansion of the concept of design into account – this resonates for instance in terms such as social design and interaction design. The concept does not involve objects, but processes and living spaces, in which people and their needs are at the centre of attention. Five projects were selected again via an open call and through a jury; they deal with the structure of the social and cultural space, institutions and social conventions. Whether action, participatory project, installation or instruction for action – the pivotal factor about “City Work” is that it demonstrates alternatives and potential for transformation.

The City Work projects are being made possible by the financial support of the Erste Bank.
