About future.lab

future.lab is the platform for inter- and transdisciplinary research and teaching at the Faculty for Architecture and Planning at TU Wien. It creates opportunities and promotes projects that bring research, teaching and practice into an open and productive dialogue and strengthen the faculties profile with regard to societal challenges.

Inter- and transdisciplinary formats

Spatial design and development is always a co-production of different social actors, institutions and disciplines. Addressing grand challenges requires a culture of unconventional thinking, networking and cooperating across traditional boundaries, as well as learning with and from each other. This is where future.lab comes in and promotes interdisciplinary and interuniversitary, international and transdisciplinary dialogue. Together with partners in the faculty and beyond, key topics are taken up and introduced into teaching and research as well as the societal discourse on the future of architecture and urban as well as rural areas.
