单集文稿 ...

  • This is Monocle on Design Extra.

  • It's a short show to accompany our weekly program where we discuss everything from architecture and craft to furniture and fashion.

  • I'm Mailie Evans.

  • Vienna Design Week is Now in its 18th edition and this year its headquarters is located in a building currently under construction not far from the Austrian capitals main train station.

  • This aligns with the festival's overarching themes of promoting sustainable and future oriented design.

  • Monaco Zelexei Korolev sent us this report.

  • For everyone who knows us, we do temporary use.

  • So every year there's a new location, but usually it's after use and this would be for use.

  • The building has just been finished or not quite so.

  • We're on a building site.

  • We're really where the city keeps growing.

  • Gabriel Roland is the director of Vienna Design Week.

  • It is a metaphor for what we're trying to do with design, to create an opening where things are not defined yet or not quite yet.

  • And one good example is the hospitality area.

  • It's a collaboration between the Vienna Business Agency and us, with a lot of input from Atelier Luhmann, from Arles and Studio Driest.

  • Try to close the loop on stuff that we have in the city that we don't usually think about, that we have like we're digging out earth while building a metro.

  • It's often from regulations wise, not so easy to use that stuff somewhere else.

  • And I think this is a very Vienna design kind of idea.

  • It's not just making an exhibition, not just showing the stuff, but using the stuff.

  • We're actually sitting on the stools, we're actually, you know, having the coffee on the bar that's made from the stuff.
