Austria has chosen the slogan “Austria makes sense” and will be highlighting the themes of sustainability and innovative strength. querkraft architects is responsible for the design of the Austria Pavilion which blends ancient Arab wind towers with contemporary climate control technology, laying down a marker against climate-damaging profligacy.
The exhibition, curated by Ars Electronica Solutions and büro wien takes visitors on a journey through Austria’s innovative potential. Future-oriented products and solutions – all of them “made in Austria” – are presented in a dedicated area, the iLab.
Innovations are illustrated in the “InnovationTowers”, both digitally in videos and physically in exhibits. The distinctive constructions are 3.6 metres high and built out of PIXEL by Bene, which is the flexible module for inspiration.
