Toourism: Examining the Global Impact of Travel and Sustainable Solutions at Architekturzentrum Wien

This exhibition explores the multifaceted impacts of modern tourism on the built environment, social structures, and climate change. It presents local and international examples of pioneering solutions for more sustainable and responsible holiday practices.

The exhibition "Toourism" delves into the complex relationship between increasing travel frequency and its consequences. It addresses how our holidays affect the built environment, social fabrics, and contribute to climate change. The exhibition highlights the dual nature of tourism, which has brought prosperity and cosmopolitanism but also leads to overcrowding, environmental interventions, and rising land prices, particularly in tourist hotspots. By presenting local and international case studies, "Toourism" showcases innovative solutions that move beyond a consumption- and growth-driven paradigm. It aims to inspire a new approach to holidays, encouraging practices that do not undermine the very basis of their existence and fostering an appetite for travel that is more mindful of its broader impacts.

The accompanying book 'Toourism' is available in the Az W Shop or online in the e-shop. Further ticketing information for the exhibition itself is not provided on this page.
