Österreich-Pavillon EXPO 2017 / Wettbewerb 1. Platz
Visitors are both participants and observers at the interactive, muscle-driven stations in the expansive, two-storey structure. It is their muscular energy that brings the pavilion to life. They operate the unexpected machines – which may be poetical, funny or sonorous in nature – and then receive typical Austrian energy foods such as a Mozartkugel or Mannerschnitte as a reward for their efforts. This is the Austrian pavilion’s interpretation of the EXPO’s “Future Energy” theme and pays tribute to the human yardstick.
