Project Vienna - Exhibition Catalogue

The Citizen Evolution project is featured in the Project Vienna exhibition catalogue and available now to buy from the MAK Design online shop.

Published for the exhibition (30.06.-12.09.2010) and with contributions from Andrea Branzi, Sam Jacob, Elizabeth of Samsonov, Christoph Thun-Hohenstein and Peter Noever, this special edition of the Vienna Map by well known map makers, Freytag & Berndt contains the three winning projects and the 17 selected projects from the Project Viena MAK and departure competition.

From the website:

Projects result in a cross-section of international and interdisciplinary submissions each subversive, socially and environmentally motivated hypothetical and design solutions and scenarios. All of them deal with the powerful cultural and urban heritage of Vienna, not a blockade, but as a driving force for new ideas.
