Abstract:
Innovation labs for Learning Landscapes
The "Arbeitsraum Bildung" research team at the Faculty of Architecture and Spatial Planning at TU Wien is developing novel educational spaces at the interface between education, art, architecture and society. Spaces for thought, action and design currently lacking in existing (educational) structures are developed, implemented as models and tested with users.
The artistic spatial research project BiB-Lab / Innovation Lab for Learning Landscapes in Motion installed three different spatial lab settings in Vienna's largest municipal housing estate since 2021. The Bus-Lab, a mobile multifunctional studio space in a converted public-transit bus, is temporarily stationed in public spaces offering extracurricular creative programs for young people. The School Space-Lab comprises several neighboring schools whose spatial facilities no longer meet current requirements of hybrid teaching and learning. In participatory processes, the BiB-Lab team develops spatial test settings and cost-effective spatial interventions together with architecture students and the school community. Vacant shops in a shopping center were activated in the Neighbourhood-Lab as open educational spaces where the university and the community learn from each other. As part of the FFG program "Young Talents for the Energy Transition", two co-creative innovation labs on climate protection and climate change adaptation are currently being developed, building on the experience of the Bib-Lab. HOPE Space Lab # Educational landscapes in a changing climate is a mobile, modular space laboratory for artistic initiatives and experiments, where educational institutions and the surrounding city become the "material suitcase" with which to work. In the co-creation space Transformer, a vacant building is the basis for a practical educational prototype for climate transformation.
