ArchDiplom(a) 2021: Emerging Architecture & Urban Planning Projects in Vienna

This exhibition showcases approximately 90 diploma projects from the Faculty for Architecture and Planning at Vienna University of Technology (TU Wien), spanning the last two years. It offers a glimpse into the aspirations and critiques of the emerging generation of architects, presenting their work across various thematic focuses and narratives.

ArchDiplom(a) 2021 presents around 90 diploma projects completed over the last two years by students from the Faculty for Architecture and Planning at Vienna University of Technology (TU Wien). The exhibition acts as a portrait of the emerging generation of architects, highlighting their individual visions, dreams, societal critiques, and questions. These works emerge from the faculty's diverse research areas, positioning it as one of Europe's largest architecture faculties. The display deliberately avoids fixed categorizations or order, instead presenting individual projects within a mosaic of thematic focuses and often contradictory narratives. Following the logic of Jorge Luis Borges' Chinese encyclopedia, these focuses are not meant to be supplementary but to follow different kinds of logic, emphasizing an incomplete and extensible system. The exhibition concept, developed by curators at the Institute of Architecture and Design in collaboration with Berlin-based Something Fantastic, emphasizes the haptic qualities of the work through book objects and models, inviting visitors to immerse themselves. The presentation is accompanied by a website and a catalogue.

The exhibition dates are from December 12, 2021, to January 10, 2022, open daily from 10:00 to 19:00. Further information is available via the provided links.
