The Vienna Architecture Summer School (VAS²) aims to provide an open learning space and prototypical infrastructure for the exchange and negotiation of knowledges in architecture, reaching beyond dominating institutions and mainstream discourses. VAS² invites local and international participants to exchange with young architects and established experts all practising in Vienna and beyond.
The program is based on diverse approaches and ideas that are to be discussed in different formats and media: design workshops, lectures, theory sessions, discussions, walks, explorations, site visits, performances. We seek to develop alternative models and approaches for education and design in architecture that are equally shaped by organisers, participants and guests.
The call for applications is open to students, graduates and drop-outs in architecture and other related disciplines, willing to engage with space-related topics, peers and invited guests in a common workshop setting complemented by lectures, excursions and gatherings.
