Danube and Wien Rivers Vienna Austria

The Danube River in Vienna isn’t as dramatic as rivers in other European cities, like the Thames in London, Spree in Berlin, Vltava in Prague, or Seine in Paris. Unlike in Budapest, the Danube doesn’t flow through picturesque parts of the city. Instead, it crosses the upper section of Vienna away from Vienna’s Ringstrasse and the beautiful historical center. Wien River Bridge in Front of…

The Spittelau waste incineration plant is one of three thermal waste treatment plants operated by Wien Energie. Its special feature lies in the façade artistically designed by Friedensreich Hundertwasser. With an installed total capacity of 460 MW, the plant is the second largest district heating generator in the district heating network (this small part of 22 percent is shared by the three thermal waste treatment plants of Wien Energie) of the city of Vienna. 🗑️ (1-4)

Architectural Masters Shaping Vienna's Narrative

In the heart of Vienna's architectural landscape lies a tapestry woven with the threads of innovation, irony, and eco-consciousness, spun by the hands of visionary masters who dared to challenge convention.

At the helm stands Gustav Peichl, a maestro of both structure and satire. His journey, intertwined with the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna, saw him sketching blueprints by day and caricatures by night, navigating the complexities of identity amidst the shadows of wartime occupation. Peichl's architectural legacy, epitomized by the EFA Radio Satellite Station, echoes his wit and wisdom, transcending mere mortar and steel.

Beside him strides Hans Hollein, a pioneer of postmodern architecture, whose canvas extended beyond mere buildings to encompass the very essence of urban landscapes. With his iconic aircraft carrier collage, Hollein redefined the boundaries of architectural expression, blurring the lines between industrial prowess and artistic vision. His legacy, etched in landmarks like the Haas House, continues to shape Vienna's skyline with audacious strokes of innovation.

Lebbeus Woods, an architect of the avant-garde, lends a philosophical hue to Vienna's architectural narrative. His visionary projects, steeped in the ethos of crisis and possibility, beckon us to reimagine the cityscape as a living, breathing entity, responsive to the ebbs and flows of human existence. Through Woods's lens, Vienna becomes a stage for architectural experimentation, where the boundaries of convention dissolve in the face of boundless imagination.

Friedensreich Hundertwasser, with his vibrant hues and organic forms, infuses Vienna's architecture with a touch of whimsy and eco-consciousness. From the iconic Hundertwasserhaus to the Spittelau waste incineration plant, his designs defy the straight line and embrace the vibrant pulse of nature, reminding us that beauty lies in harmony with the environment.

Yet amidst the cacophony of creativity, the city bears the weight of its past, embodied in the stark silhouette of Flak Towers. These concrete behemoths, relics of wartime fortifications, stand as monuments to resilience and remembrance, casting a shadow over Vienna's architectural landscape.

As Vienna stands on the precipice of transformation, these architectural luminaries converge to inspire dialogue and action. From Peichl's irony to Hollein's innovation, from Woods's philosophy to Hundertwasser's eclecticism, each voice adds a layer to the symphony of architectural enlightenment.

And so, as the Fabrication Gap symposium beckons, Vienna prepares to embrace the future with open arms, weaving together the threads of tradition and innovation to shape a collective vision of architectural excellence and sustainability. In this crucible of creativity, the city's narrative unfolds, a testament to the enduring spirit of architectural ingenuity and collective endeavour.

1st Post!

We decided on the topics of "Nachhaltigkeit" (sustainability), "Architektur / Wohnen" (architecture / living) and "Konsum" (consumerism).

Sustainability

Waste incineration plant

After a huge fire in Vienna's Spittelau waste incineration plant at the end of the 1980s, a reconstruction was started and designed free of charge by the artist Friedensreich Hundertwasser. This combines aesthetics and waste recycling. A waste incineration plant becomes a work of art and can motivate urban planners to integrate industry into the cityscape in the best possible way. On the one hand, this is a sustainable aspect and a tourist magnet. On the other hand, it can also lead to more industrial areas being built in densely populated areas because of such a showcase project, which can quickly lead to health problems for residents.

Fast Fashion

An art project was used to draw attention to the issue of greenwashing and the inadequate recycling of clothing. Even organic clothing consumes a lot of resources. This art project addresses the problematic situation regarding the sustainable recycling of textiles and encourages critical reflection.

Drop-top-flower-pot

(I'm proud of myself for coming up with the english name for this)

With an art project, a Viennese has called for more inner-city greening by creating a mobile flower bed from a mobile cabriolet and placing them alternately in different locations. The aim is to draw attention to the fact that raised beds should be installed for the same amount of money as parking spaces to ensure greater sustainability. This should make way for parking spaces and create more space for greenery and self-sufficiency. A provocative campaign, but at the same time a sustainable eye-catcher.

Architecture / Living:

Summit One Vanderbilt (Creepy)

In 2021, a viewing platform opened at a height of 330 meters in the One Vanderbilt skyscraper in New York. Among other things, there is a mirrored area with full-length mirrors on the walls, ceiling and floor. A fascinating architectural art attraction that can also be viewed critically. For example, mirrored construction can violate intimate privacy, as wearing specific clothing - such as dresses, skirts (or kilts) - can reveal intimate parts of your body to other people, against your will. The only option you then have is to leave the room.

“Stop Discrimination of Cheap Furniture”

flickr

A very famous furniture fare called “Salone del Mobile” in Milan, always features “the most expensive chair”. As a critique to this decadent product and the lavish lifestyle connected to it, an artist came up with the idea to write “stop discrimination of cheap furniture” onto cheap furniture.

The Line

Many countries all over the world are trying to show off their power using architecture - the project “The Line” seems to be no different from that. While stakeholders involved claim it to be an awesome, sustainable, next-level project, many experts beg to differ! The building poses many threats, a short list of examples include: threats to animals (mainly birds), heat around the building (reflection of sunlight onto its surroundings), serious fire hazards (densly populated) and class-based society (the rich people likely live on the top floors where there is lots of greens and sunlight, while poorer people live on the base levels), human-rights violations (construction process).

Consumerism

Protective Packaging

Cigarettes, alcohol and phones have one thing in common – they are very bad for our health, especially if you overdo it! Martin Naumann created protective packaging for those kind of products. We like that phones are also being addressed as their unreflected use can lead to a lot of mental health problems.

“Once Furniture Collection”

“Once Furniture Collection” is a collection of furniture that consists exclusively of chop sticks. The key message was to “pinch into our collective lower back to encourage us to rethink our consumption habits”.

We think the design choice makes a lot of sense in this regard, as the furniture looks very pointy and thus uncomfortable to sit on.

However we are unsure about the exact meaning of “to rethink our consumption habits” as is very hard to find additional information about that collection online. Is it about food? Is it about furniture? Maybe it’s about single use chop sticks? On the other hand bamboo grows very fast! It’s very hard to tell what exact meaning is without providing any additional context.

McDonalds Critique

I’m lovin it, when McDonalds is criticised! The franchise f’ed up a lot! A short list of examples include: targeting kids by design, horrible working conditions, consumerism, factory farming, green washing, etc. As a result there have also been critical voices!

Bonus Content!

I know, nobody asked for it but regardless, here is a picture of Olli looking at food:

The spectacular Spittelau waste incineration plant designed by legendary Viennese artist and architect Friendsreich Hundertwasser (Hundertwasser Müllverbrennungsanlage Spittelau) is to be found in the 9th district of Vienna. It processes the household waste of Viennese citizens and turns it into environmentally friendly heating.
