I am now nearly halfway through my Fellowship at the University of Applied Arts in Vienna, where I am spending part of my research leave. Thank you to the whole Weibel Institute team for welcoming me with such generosity of mind and spirit (and resources too), and for making me feel at home.

How incredible the location of the University of Applied Arts Vienna is, where I am currently a Fellow of the Weibel Institute.

The University is housed in Otto Wagner’s Postsparkasse. Marble, aluminum, glass floor tiles and skylights. Every corner, a modernist wonder ✨
