Design Week
September 30 – October 9, 2011

design as well as experimental design. After four
successful festivals yet another exquisite and
colourful programme of events will be awaiting
the visitors this October. Design has been and
is an important field in the production of culture:
it shapes our material culture, our everyday life
and our consumer world, it influences our lifestyles
and fashions and most fundamentally our aesthetic
sense and judgements. This wide-ranging impact
is a reason both to celebrate design and to examine
it critically, and VIENNA DESIGN WEEK has made
both of these its mission.

GLIMPSES
of New York and Amsterdam in 2040
Onging until September 10, 2011
New York, New York
New York and Amsterdam are exploring the long-term
future of their cities. Both cities have extensive
waterfronts, a strong entrepreneurial spirit and
a long tradition of international collaboration
and cultural diversity. For each city, the next
level of transformation focuses on creating a
vibrant and sustainable city. As Amsterdam and
New York look to the future a temporal context
composed of shifting demographics, changes in
climate, energy transitions and global economic
patterns define the cities' prospects.
This context forms the backdrop for an exchange
program between the Amsterdam Center for Architecture
(ARCAM) and the Center for Architecture in New
York. The assumption of the program is that glimpses
of the future can already be seen, for example
in emerging green industries, in local networks
for energy production and in innovative forms
of transportation.
