TU Vienna – Fachschaft Architektur
Mies. in Wonderland has put together a selection of short films for students and a broader audience at Austria’s largest architecture university.
Program:
After All, the Culture of Nature, DE / ES 2018, 9:35 min, original version (English), D: Imke Woelk
The video shows an archive of sculptures made from various plastic materials found on the seashore, juxtaposing them with archaeological and cultural artefacts. The objects, connected by an astonishing similarity, are alternated with passages of text by various authors that break down the complex problem of the climate crisis and make it collectively solvable. The reflection on a meaningful contribution made by architecture begins at a critical distance. The conscious selection of a single material allows us to pose the decisive question of our time. Why aren’t we doing anything?

We opened the doors of Yona Friedman’s workshop. A plural architect, sometimes a whimsical creator of space cities, sometimes a sociologist, Yona Friedman tackles themes that are well-established in our time. Modular housing, structural envelope and technical innovation … According to Yona Friedman, architecture is an eminently sociological act that engages the individual. The act is collective and society creates the conditions of its reality…
