For the Vienna Biennale for Change, international representatives from the fields of architecture, design, art and commerce discuss connections between alternative ecological and economic approaches.
Pursuing the topics of Valuable Data, Innovative Materials and Transformation Design, the conference engages with relationships between architecture, design and art, and promotes the search together for strategies for the future, ethical conditions of production and ecological justice, be it in the global South or in the global North.
The brilliant opening is provided by keynote speeches from the Pakistani architect Yasmeen Lari, who sets new standards for low-cost and zero-carbon projects, as well as the critical thinker who is pioneering ethics for the digital realm, Sarah Spiekermann-Hoff.
