The Uncommon Sense Guide to 1030 Wien Eleni Boutsika Palles

The Uncommon Sense Guidebook to 1030 Wien takes the format of a conventional city guide to explore fictions and realities of the third district of Vienna. The guide presents a series of poetical journeys. It is a collective undertaking of finding and developing new ways of getting lost in a familiar urban landscape, of absorbing a city without consuming it, of expressing ones right to the city, and not implying that a city would be a commodity available to some and not to others. Developed during the pandemic within the frame of a semester-long workshop by students of the Social Design masters program at the University for Applied Arts Vienna the book is the fifth issue of the Social Readers collection.
