Selfware surface
The first of functional interventions was realized on the facade of the Palais Thienfeld in cooperation with the Institute for Housing Construction and the Institute for Design (Technical University of Vienna). This created a temporary interface between interior and exterior (street) that can be used and inhabited. More than forty students designed and implemented a 1:1 scale vertical intervention.
