architects’ talk
Thursday, 08/10/2026, 5 pm
How can architecture foster relationships across generations? Alireza Taghaboni and Mark Gilbert discuss the tandem housing model, in which two households from different generations live in close proximity and support one another while retaining their independence and privacy. Drawing on examples from Iran and Austria, they examine how intergenerational living is conceived and implemented within different cultural, social, and architectural contexts. The talk will be moderated by Negar Hakim and Ian Banerjee.

performance workshop & open photo studio

The event explores gestures as transitions between private and communal spaces, across time and cultural boundaries. It asks how we can encounter, understand and “touch” one another today, and how we might overcome fear through an active engagement with contemporary processes of transformation.
Starting from a presentation of the neighboorhood project Raw Matters im Hof, the event continues with a performative statement by Gabi Seeleitner & Christa Stöffelbauer, leading to an open photo studio with Julius W. Chromecek.
