After successful completion of the course, students are able to.reflect on different curatorial concepts for the mediation and exhibiition of spatially relevant topics and to examine and select different mediation formats for their suitability for different target groups (especially students and their teachers). In doing so, they learn to develop positioning and to make topics of climate protection in spatial planning and architecture tangible. They acquire knowledge about the necessary process steps for the organization of exhibitions with accompanying programs (guided tours, excursions, workshops, lectures...). They will gain experience in the field of cooperation and communication with cultural and educational institutions.
The course deals with the curation of an exhibition at the intersection of Arts, Science and Education. Climate-relevant topics of architecture and spatial planning are to be prepared and made accessible in a stimulating way for students aged 10-15 years. In addition to the exhibition concept and its stations and elements, the accompanying program in the form of guided tours, excursions, workshops and lectures will be developed. The aim is always a playful, experimental examination of the framework theme, as well as points of contact for the individual further development of educational work in the participating schools. The exhibition, including the accompanying program, is conceived as a pilot project for a growing exhibition designed to last 5 years. It is the prelude to an interfaculty networking and the establishment of a Science, Arts and Education - focus at the TU Vienna.
Thema Sommersemester 2023
Klimawandel und Energie
- Wie können wir Energie nachhaltig bereitstellen?
- Was bedeutet das für mich? Für meine Stadt? Meine Umwelt?
- Wie beeinflusst mein Verhalten den Energieverbrauch?
» Erneuerbare Energien sind billig, sie sind vor Ort verfügbar und sie machen uns unabhängig. « (U. van der Leyen, 7. September 2022)
» Die Umsetzung einer Energiewende ist ein langfristiger sozial-ökologischer Transformationsprozess und damit ein gesellschaftliches Experimentierfeld für die Reformfähigkeit eines hoch entwickelten Industrielandes im Zeitalter der Globalisierung. « (P. Hennicke, 2019)
- , » Klimafreundliches Verhalten soll normal werden .« (L. Gewessler, 2020)

What are particularly challenging topics that we could address in the course?
- The energy dimension "electricity" has been getting a lot of attention for years, for example through the topics of wind power, solar energy and electromobility. BUT: Electricity accounts for only about 20% of Austria's total energy demand, and the inherently high renewable share of 77% has not been increasing noticeably for years;
- The remaining 80% (heating, cooling, mobility, process requirements of industry) receive far too little attention, although they are responsible for a large share of CO2 emissions;
- Mobility should not be a topic (in this course!) because it will be the focus topic of CC 2024;
- The topic of "sufficiency" is completely underestimated in the media because it is also very unpopular. But: How can the voluntary renunciation of (air) travel, further electrical appliances, the need for cooling (in part already from 23°!) or general changes in behaviour be "triggered" at all? Is this approach worthwhile, how does it compare to other approaches?
- Passive houses or low-energy buildings have also received a lot of attention. BUT: They only require a tiny amount of energy, measured against the total demand of all buildings. At least 90% (depending on location!) of the energy demand flows into existing buildings. At the same time, the renovation rate of about 1% is still far too low. How is "getting out of gas by 2040" (e.g. EU policies, or also those of the City of Vienna) supposed to work in real terms?
- There are already energy transition success stories (examples: Expansion of renewable energies, energy savings, improved energy efficiency, emission reductions in industry, buildings, agriculture), but how do they succeed faster, more often and without having to start from scratch again and again?
- How can the energy transition become more "non-technical"? How does this story "take hold" on a mass scale, apart from the many technical arguments? How do I explain the immediate quality-of-life improvements in a more effective way (examples: Cost savings, better indoor air to breathe, better supply of daily needs through re-mixing of functions; improved health through more active mobility, ....);
- What does cooperation between "natural science", "art" and generally the various education systems look like in order to advance all these topics in a "youth-friendly" way?
