The SAFTWaben 2015 (Eng. "Juice Honeycombs") as 1:1 Intervention were developed after an excursion to the refugee camps in Linz. At the end of the first year of study at the Kunstuni Linz the students dealt with the design of our lived-in environment and its parameters. How is one able to live and how does one want to live? What does one need? The pentagonal honeycomb structures are plugged one to the other and are modular. They were implemented from the original idea through planning to the temporal usage. All building materials of the SAFTwaben are recycled from other exhibitions as well as donated. How can one continue working with found material? Different definitions of sustainability, basic human needs and demands on our environment were explored: social, ecological, economical, aesthetical.

Finally on June 25 the SAFTwaben were exhibited in the Tabakfabrik Linz. Visitors could walk in and inspect the SAFTwaben with drinks, little snacks and music of Creative Region. Thanks to the Landesgalerie Linz for the material, to the Tabakfabrik Linz for the space and to the Creative Region for the tools.
