University of Applied Arts Vienna Opening up for Circular Change Opening up for Circular Change beschäftigt sich mit dem Status Quo von Kreislaufwirtschaft in Bezug auf Re-Use und Rückbau im städtischen Kontext der Wiener Stadtentwicklung. 42 Gespräche mit relevanten Akteur_innen, die das Potenzial haben Kreislaufwirtschaft voranzutreiben, schaffen einen gemeinsam Kontext um ein “business as usual” zu überwinden. Opening up for Circular Change deals with the current state of mind in respect of the deconstruction and Re-Use of materials in urban development in the city of Vienna, identifying constraints and potentials towards a circular economy. By confronting 42 key players who have the potential to advance circular economy in Austria by overcoming „business as usual“, the project aims to create a shared context among them, as a basis for long-term exchange. Through in-depth conversations with these actors, who we believe can foster circular change within their daily scope of action - ranging from material resellers, developers and architects to policy makers and influencers - we are intending to open doors in order to make a difficult debate more efficient. en TEXT other Schraml, Christina Färber, Martin Mair, Eva Maria Felderer, Brigitte
