Post conference tour

Brno, Zlin, Budapest 27 – 1 October, 2002

The geographical location of Vienna invites us to look beyond the borders of Austria, not to look back in a nostalgic way but to look at the similarities and the differences in three cities of central Europe, bearing in mind the question – how can architecture construct a “meaning” within urban culture in relation to cultural traditions, political conflicts and what role architecture plays today within urban societies?
