Vienna Architecture Summer School (VAS²)

The Vienna Architecture Summer School (VAS²) aims to provide an open learning space and prototypical infrastructure for exchange and negotiation of knowledges in architecture, reaching beyond dominating institutions and mainstream discourses.

The fourth edition of the VAS² invites local and international participants to exchange with young architects and established experts all practising in and beyond Vienna.
