Restricted leisure activities due inflation
The Austrian Youth Monitor study shows that despite social inequalities, the negative effects of inflation have one thing in common among young people: restricted leisure activities
15 July 2024 - Money rules the world, and even in Austria, a country committed to social justice, the young population (16-29 years old) is divided when it comes to opportunities for a good life, access to education and actively designing the future. The latest study of the Chamber for Workers and Employees shows that even if the young population is increasingly divided, there is one negative impact that even the wealthier have experienced in recent months. Overall, the most widespread impact is on leisure time: 59% of young people have had to cut back on going out, paying for leisure activities and/or vacations in the last twelve months. One of the questions in the survey was about fashion...

Travelog with view on fashion, design
Fashion.at travelog: Empress Elisabeth's bachelorette dress with Arabic lettering is one of the highlights of the Imperial Weddings exhibition at Prince Eugen's former hunting lodge, Schloss Niederweiden
21 July 2024 - Fashion.at is an annual visitor to Schloss Hof and Schloss Niederweiden in Lower Austria. Both baroque palaces have a long history with prominent owners such as Prince Eugen and Maria Theresia of Austria (mother of Marie Antoinette). Today, they are part of the Schönbrunn Group of estates, named after the largest and most profitable. Schönbrunn Palace in Vienna, a magnificent building in the style of Versailles, is a tourist magnet. Schloss Niederweiden, Prince Eugen's hunting lodge, is almost down-to-earth compared to the prominent palace in Vienna. Niederweiden is not overrun by tourists. It's a gem known to connoisseurs, especially those interested in relatively well-curated historical exhibitions of artifacts that showcase examples of fashion taste & craft, such as couture treasures, and design, like cutlery...
Olympic archer Elisabeth Straka in Paris
Archer Elisabeth Straka belongs to the 'avant-garde' of the Olympic Team Austria. She was one of the first to spot the area in Paris.
22 July 2024 - The Olympic Team Austria has sent an update from the first check-ins of the athletes in the Olympic Village. Archer Elisabeth Straka from Lower Austria was part of the 'avant-garde' and arrived five days before the Opening Ceremony. Dressed in the black-gray melange t-shirt made from a cooling fabric designed by Erima especially for the Austrian team in Paris, combined with the brand's black sports shorts, Straka reports from her impressions of arriving at the airport, the Olympic Village, the challenges of the archery competitions, and the training in the garden opposite the palace-like building...
Concrete treasures in Austria
Not all of the wasteful projects selected for Greenpeace's voting '9 Concrete Treasures in Austria' look ugly; in some cases, a small change in the use of valuable land could turn them into beauties
17 July 2024 - It's not easy to decide which of the five ugly places in each of Austria's nine federal states should get a vote for Greenpeace's 'Austria's 9 Concrete Treasures'. Especially since not all projects are ugly.
Some projects are definitely ugly such as the Schwarzenbergplatz in Vienna, which can heat up to almost 50 degrees Celsius due to the concrete covering of a relatively large area that used to be less extensive with more open green and flower fields. But there are also projects that don't look ugly and where a small change can make all the difference...
Art as part of MQ climate strategies
Climate strategies of the MQ MuseumsQuartier Vienna developed as synergy of landscape architecture, technologies, art, science with reference to the New European Bauhaus
18 July 2024 - The MQ is one of the largest cultural areas in Europe. Regular visitors will have noticed that there is literally 'something in the bush' (a German saying meaning that something is cooking). The inner courtyard has been transformed into a kind of plant-art sculpture garden, and if you walk near the lawn in front of the MQ, the scent of a lush meadow is likely to lead your eyes to the field of wild plants. Yesterday, the MQ released the report on the first year of projects and efforts to make the cultural area climate-neutral and the plans to achieve this by 2030...
