Browsing the city

Today we continued our search for materials in the neighborhood. There happened to be a lot of renovation going on, so we had many building sites to explore and containers to peek into. But it was hard to find people at work to ask if we could recycle their construction waste, since today is a saturday. And most of the people we did manage to talk to didn’t seem to be in the mood for charity or improvisation. However, we still gathered some usefull shelves, beams and fences. And oh yes…some old furniture and an umbrella that people had thrown into our container! (Together with empty bear cans and sodabottles…)





Cargo

While Rikkert and me went to rent a cargobike, Boudewijn and Hein found some classy old doors and windows. So we could use the bike right away to start filling up the container without breaking our backs. In Vienna, cargobikes seem to be very scarce, so we’re glad to have a safe parking spot for the night, behind the fence of our hotel.

Vienna, day 1

10.30 A.M, container delivery at Hernalser Gürtel, next to metrostop Alser Strasse. All this was arranged by the 3-year project Lebendige Innere Hernalser Hauptstrasse, which is about making the area around the Innere Hernalsere Hauptstrasse more lively.
