In the framework of the VIENNA BIENNALE 2017, the exhibition City Factory: New Work. New Design will develop three socially relevant topics about the work of the future: new creative work and transdisciplinary co-creativity; new social work, including work for the common good (Commoning); and new sustainable work in the sense of the circular economy and innovative utilization of urban resources.
The project ‘urban oasis vienna’ takes urban energy cycles as a starting point and draws attention to the topic of urban food production. Warm air-which otherwise escapes from air conditioning and refrigeration units into the atmosphere as wasted energy is used constructively through a design for a tropical greenhouse. Urban Oasis parasitically docks onto technical infrastructure and buildings and creates an urban agriculture framework available year-round for residents’ shared use.
