UNPLATZ! Festival — Milan Mijalkovic

UNPLATZ!
Festival

UNPLATZ! is a project that activates public space through architectural installations and performative interventions. It focuses on the United Nations Plaza in Vienna Donaustadt, a place that gains a global dimension due to the UNO-City. The planned comprehensive renovation of the UNO buildings presents a challenge for project participants, employees, as well as federal, city, and local residents, but also offers the opportunity for a reevaluation of the urban situation.

The goal of the project is to actively engage with this complexity in dialogue with the citizens. Through public discourse spaces and pop-up formats, the district community is actively involved in the use and interpretation of urban space. This creates new perspectives and opportunities for shaping how the UNO-City and its surroundings, in particular, can become a vibrant and livable urban space. The focus is not only on the physical transformation of the place but also on creating meaning and connection to the public as a fundamental democratic pillar.
