In the sixth international open air architecture film festival in the courtyard of the Architekturzentrum Wien in August 2018, we present films on the topic ‘Habitat 2.0 – From Old Make New’. The Architektur.Film.Sommer 2018 is dedicated to forward-looking housing and communal living. A particular focus is laid on the treatment of what already exists as well as the revitalisation of empty, even desolate infrastructure in urban and rural contexts.

  • Do the modern and postmodern Dwelling Machines still function?
  • What happens to commercial premises that stand empty, and are there concepts for the environmental and social enhancement of business parks and industrial estates?
  • What are alternative and cooperative ways to finance revitalisation projects and potential, new, small-scale uses?

A program of documentaries and short films has been selected from a wide array of entries to our Open Call for Films. On four Wednesday nights in August, these films will entertain, inform, and foster a dialog among the audiences in Az W’s courtyard.

Program 2018:

Opening Night: New from Old from New

Wednesday, 01.08.2018, 8pm

Courtyard Az W in the MQ complex Vienna / in case of rain: Az W Podium

The opening night is dedicated to housing- and urban models of 20th century Modernism.

  • How are people living today in Vienna’s iconic Werkbundsiedlung from the 1930s?
  • And what has become of the ideals of a group of young planners to turn post WWII London into a socially egalitarian metropolis?

Filmmaker Heidrun Holzfeind will be our special guest for the opening night!

Of Other Spaces

Wednesday, 08.08.2018, 8pm

Courtyard Az W in the MQ complex Vienna / in case of rain: Az W Podium

Our second evening focuses on the “in-between” in space and time, referring to Foucault’s essay of the same title “Other Spaces.”

  • What is it that makes spaces like a monastery, a factory, or a construction site “different”?
  • What does it mean to “fall out of time” and how ephemeral is it to be in the state of in-between?

Owning Our City

Wednesday, 15.08.2018, 8pm

Courtyard Az W in the MQ complex Vienna / in case of rain: Az W Podium

“Participation” and “cooperative planning” have become standard tools of urbanism nowadays.

  • Still, can we – as potential users – truly appropriate the city on our own terms?

Adapted Lifestyles


Wednesday, 29.08.2018, 8pm

Courtyard Az W in the MQ complex Vienna / in case of rain: Az W Podium

Let´s adapt our living space! Owners of mobile single family homes, rolling across the USA in the award-winning film “Chasing Houses”, as well as the architects Lacaton & Vassal w. Druot are following this prompt in their approach towards architecture. The Parisian Tour Bois-le-Prêtre can be seen as a master class in adaptive housing, giving people the opportunity to stay in their apartments during a major upgrade of an HLM in the banlieues.
