Der Mann, der uber 30 Jahre Hunderte Objekte designt und redesignt hat, der weltberuhmte Designer, der keiner mehr sein will, sondern sich lieber als "Entdecker und professioneller Traumer" bezeichnet - sein grosstes Projekt wird es nun sein, sich selbst neu zu erfinden, und wenn er sich wie ein Phonix aus der Asche erhebt, dann werden wir ihn erkennen, am ‚doppel p' und dem ‚ck'.

Collective Architecture
Collective Architectures is a network of people and collectives interested in grassroots construction of the urban en¬vironment. This network offers an in-strumental framework for collaboration between projects and initiatives of dif¬ferent types. It is mainly expressed in three forms: communication systems, collaborative projects and physical events (experience sharing, workshops, prototype testing).
The Informal City | Strategies for Social Inclusion | lecture
Prof.Andreas Hofer
Ass.Prof. Andreas Hofer | Institute of Urban Design, Vienna University of Technology | The relation between the formal and informal city presents the focus of this lecture. The informal city often stands as a synonym for a place with high population density. Social exclusion and segregation along with economic marginalisation are all too often existing conditions that frame the real urban life of such an informal city. The term ‚informality’, however, is by no means synonymous to chaos or delinquency, or simply something ‚illegal'.
