Starting with social diversity as a prerequisite for European urban development, an experimental and transdisciplinary approach to the design of socially integrative learning locations and educational spaces is presented as part of an ‘Open University’. The publication results from the ‘PLACE of IMPORTANCE’ teaching and research project, which includes planning, architectural-artistic and social thinking and actions in equal measure with the intention of creating socio-spatial interventions through learning with and from each other and to bring about their transformation into open educational spaces that exist for the long term. The concept that this approach employs has been specifically applied in Neu Marx. One of the largest refugee shelters in the city of Vienna has been built over recent years in this section ...

Social diversity is seen as a prerequisite for the development of European cities, serving as the starting point for an experimental and transdisciplinary approach to designing inclusive learning scapes and educational spaces as components of an "open university". The publication originated in the teaching and research project PLACE of IMPORTANCE, which integrates concepts and approaches from the fields of planning, art and architecture with social and humanitarian action to create cooperative learning environments that are subsequently transformed into more permanent open learning scapes and educational spaces. This conceptual approach has found practical implementation in Neu Marx, part of the inner-city development zone Erdberger Mais, where one of the City of Vienna's largest refugee accommodation centres has been established over the past few years. In the same neighbourhood and over virtually the same period, TU Wien has installed OPENmarx, an innovative temporary spatial setting that functions as an "open university". The implementation of the OPENmarx initiative as a "place of importance" has opened up new options for common agency and learning that are presented and discussed in the book as examples of new approaches to the sustainable transformation of the urban space. Taking international education policy and planning theory debates about urban educational landscapes as its starting point, the book examines the institutional and spatial potentials for innovative learning processes that arise as a university opens itself to society, along with illustrative examples. It goes on to present the multifaceted activities of the project team in Neu Marx, where students, teaching staff and refugees worked together on analysing social contexts, testing opportunities for appropriation of the urban space, producing short films, building furniture, developing games, telling stories, etc. etc. The book concludes with a preliminary summary of the entire development process and the opportunities and challenges associated with implementing socially integrative processes and establishing socially integrative places. The book also contains a wealth of background information as well as evocative images and textual impressions of the project.

The workshop consisted of two activities: the first one - Walking - participants mapped the path of their lives through my reframing of the homonymous activity created by Lygia Clark. The next activity – The feeling maps of walking – the experience was transferred to the park: the participants created the influential cartography of hospitality and welcome from the exploration by the driftting registered by the media chosen by them.
