MetroLab Podcast

We are happy to announce the release of our latest project, the MetroLab Podcast!

In our Podcast we want to discuss different perspectives on the role of metropolitan regions in the climate crisis by entwining individual key topics that impact not only our daily life but are majorly contributing to greenhouse gas emissions.

In several episodes we will have discussions with researchers, activists, thinkers, policy makers and practitioners to better understand the role of metropolitan regions in the climate crisis and their paths towards climate neutrality.

Listen here or find it wherever you get your Podcasts!

OUT NOW: Future Public Spaces

What is required to renew and articulate public spaces?

The need for, and demands of, public spaces are highly specific to the local spatial and social conditions under which people live. Action at neighborhood level is crucial, and must involve interacting and co-creating with residents to discover their needs. At the start of the pandemic, superwien was commissioned to develop innovative designs for urban public spaces in three different cities: Dhaka (Bangladesh), Maputo (Mozambique), and Santo Domingo (Dominican Republic). The main objective of this applied research was to strengthen the capacity of local governments to undertake participatory urban design processes. This book calls upon architects and urbanists to develop place-based solutions in challenging circumstances.

STORY OF A STREET: ZIRKUSGASSE

A WALK WITH WHOOSH AND SUPERWIEN
JUNE 02, 2023 | 16:00 – 19:00

Every street is interesting, if you hear the stories and meet the people. Roland and Eugene, from SuperWien and Whoosh, will show you this on a tour of their Graetzl.

Zirkusgasse is not a well-known street, but it has so much to offer. We will make a sociological, historical, political, artistic and playful walk along a not-so-long and not-so-boring part of Leopoldstadt.
Why is it called Zirkusgasse? Who lives here? Why did we send our kids to schools on the street? What does it mean to live in Jewish Vienna, in hipster Wien, in a district with so many sex shops? Who lives here? Why is the street completely grey-coloured?

Since we are both urbanists, we look at architecture, placemaking, parklets, ecology, and people. How could the street be improved? A better Bezirksvorsteher would be one of Eugene’s first wishes. And Renz was once the coolest place to hang out in our city, so we explore what it meant, and where it went.

Also: Why do we need to urgently change the name of the Second District? How is the latest redevelopment of Praterstern going? Why is Prater Strasse not being updated, despite all the proposals? Why was the first ever pop-up cycle lane here?

Die Stadt räumlich programmieren

Interview mit Architekt Stefan Mayr

Von Stefan Mayr und Roland Krebs wurde 2010 in Wien ihr Büro superwien urbanism gegründet. Dabei beschäftigen sie sich vor allem mit Städtebau und nachhaltiger Architektur. Die Projektbereiche umfassen großmaßstäbliche Aufgabenstellungen, genauso wie kleinmaßstäbliche. Sie reichen von Metropolenplanung und Wohnbau über Erdgeschosszonen-Strategien, hin zu Beteiligungsprozessen und Placemaking. Angesiedelt sind ihre Projekte in Österreich, Südosteuropa, Zentralasien und Lateinamerika.

2. Platz beim Kooperativen Verfahren in Berlin

Das Projekt “Mitten in Tempelhof” erhält den 2. Platz. Parallel sowie in Austausch mit drei weiteren Teams aus dem Bereich Städtebau und Landschaftsplanung hat Superwien Urbanism in Kooperation mit Siri Frech und IPG einen städtebaulich-freiraumplanerischen Entwurf für die „Neue Mitte Tempelhof“ entwickelt. Im Rahmen von vier Werkstätten vor Ort bzw. digital wurden im letzten Jahr die Entwürfe mit den AuftraggeberInnen, den Planungsteams, FachexpertInnen sowie unter Einbeziehung der BürgerInnen und lokalen AkteurInnen diskutiert und präzisiert.

VCÖ-Mobilitätspreis Wien für Initiative „Platz für Wien“

Das Fachkonzept Mittelpunkte des städtischen Lebens – Polyzentrales Wien wurde als vorbildliches Projekt ausgezeichnet.

Der Verkehr ist in Wien der größte Verursacher von klimaschädlichen CO2-Emissionen. Er ist für rund 40 Prozent der CO2-Emissionen verantwortlich, das ist doppelt so viel wie der Gebäudesektor.

Wien hat nicht nur ein Zentrum, sondern in den einzelnen Bezirken viele lebendige größere und kleinere Zentren. Diese sind der Schlüssel für eine klimaverträgliche Stadt der kurzen Wege. Das Fachkonzept Polyzentrales Wien der Wiener Stadtplanung setzt Maßnahmen, die diese Zentren stärken. Einkaufen in fußläufiger Distanz erspart lange Einkaufsfahrten, die oft mit dem Auto gemacht werden.

GLARA – Green Living Augmented+virtual ReAlity

Just before the end of 2019 we launched a new project: GLARA – Green Living Augmented+virtual ReAlity is a research and development project that aims at integrating participation processes with new technologies making them more accessible for everyone. The focus is on planning of green infrastructures and a transparent, timely communication of their positive impacts on micro-climate and environment. An easy-to-use mobile application should complement face-to-face elements in participation processes in order to make it easier for people to participate. With the use of virtual and augmented reality, complex plans and maps can be translated to comprehensible pictures.

We are looking forward to working in this project with our partners from tatwort, green4cities and fluxguide.

Many thanks to BMDW who funds this projects through the FFG COIN Program.
