City of the future - Climate Change in Vienna

Under the title of "City of the future - Climate Change in Vienna"  we research scenarios of future living in Vienna. The status quo or the massive change of human society will provide the base material to elaborate small comics and immersive stories. The individual projects should focus on sucessful and unsucessful transformation of our current society in different perspectives. We try to understand the effects of climate change on the urban level, its surroundings, but also on society, economy and the individual citizens.

The individual projects will be presented as instructional or immersive comics, which should creatively and critically reflect on climate scientists and futurists prognostics. The comic medium allows a deeper, more immersive and more intimate experience of the abstract effects of climate change. Relevant comics of refence authors will be presented and analized, drawing styles and storyboard types discussed. The 2-dimensional perspective drawing and the spatial representation in of high importance.

During the class there will be guest panels by Alexander Mankowsky (Futurist & Mobility Scientist, Mercedes-Benz AG), Sabine Engelhardt (Futurist & Scent Creator, Mercedes-Benz AG) und Benedikt Becsi (climate scientist, BOKU Wien)

An exhibition/publication of the finished project is planned.

The course Subjective space / Spatial utopia examines the field of creative means of communication taking into account the two-dimensional practice of representation. Students are to be enabled to acquire the purposive use of various representative means of expression for architectural practice. The procedure is determined by the influence of cultural changes and technological innovations. The course is intentionally conceived as a model of self-contemplation and is to consolidate research on adequate forms of representation / communication. Additionally, the creative effect and the influence of concrete methods of representation and means of representation on the design process is dealt with and analysed.

Continuous development of a sketch collection and storyboards
