Queering the Home as a Critical Spatial Practice

coordinated by: Bernadette Krejs, Max Utech, Maria Gnesda

This Design Studio explores alternative concepts of the home, addressing floor plans, designs, family structures, financialization, and furniture. Through the semester projects in Vienna (SCHLOR, planet10), where other forms of housing are practiced and inhabited will be visited. In addition, architects, researchers, and scholars will give input on how housing could be reimagined.
The focus is on designing proposals through drawing, model-making, and mapping to investigate the home and the diverse stories and bodies that inhabit these spaces.

Thresholds of Social Infrastructure – Reimagining Community Spaces – Entwerfen

coordinated by: Julia Nuler, Zeno Mocanu

In this semester, we want to take a multi-layered look at topics of feminist spatial practice. On the one hand, we will focus on architectural positions that often go unnoticed in a traditional canon; on the other hand, we will use potentials from current feminist literature to develop new strategies for spatial design.

WHOSE FOOD?
coordinated by: Eva Álvarez, Carlos Gómez, Inge Manka, Sabina Riß

This course explores the intersection of food, architecture, and urban design through a feminist lens. Students will critically analyze how food routines shape urban spaces and develop personal cartographies reflecting these interactions. The course focuses on creating innovative urban design solutions to address sustainability, gender, and inclusivity challenges. Students will work collaboratively, engage with guest workshops, and produce graphic presentations, maps, and critical texts. Outputs include a personal cartography, research on Vienna’s food systems, and proposals for sustainable urban transformations.

Tabuisierte Stadt – Entwerfen

coordinated by: Julia Nuler, Zeno Mocanu

Based on the examination of tabooed spaces in the city, theses are developed that allow marginalised socio-spatial aspects to be included in design planning. Therefore, questions are posed to the existing urban space, which derive from the engagement with queer-feminist theory.
