Special Archive: Design Pioneers
In focus in this online research platform are Austrian designers who develop strategies which are exemplary in the way they oppose the failings of their eras, their societies and/or civilization at large. For this project, experts from all over Europe work to determine key works based on a system of qualitative evaluation, and they comment on the life-long themes and overall oeuvres of these works designers. The central tasks of this special archive includes compiling extensive source archives containing reception-related documents (newspaper clippings, work descriptions, photos, publications, visual media). The web portal is updated on a continual basis.
