We were extremely proud and excited when we were asked to showcase our eVolo award winning Shanty-scraper design at the Technical Museum Vienna ‘Urban Futures’ exhibition 2016-2017. As part of a new series of exhibitions on innovation and technology, the renowned curator, Mrs. Noggler-Gürtler envisioned a four-story high aerographic pneumatic architecturally striking installation of the mighty Burj Khalifa in the east wing of the Technical Museum of Vienna. At the summit elevation floor Shanty -scraper a vertical squatter structure predominately built out of post-construction debris aspires to provide a unique solution for housing unrecognised slums in developing nations. To understand this misalignment in the environmental and social concerns within evolving notions of sustainable development and the encourage more future initiatives to teach eco-friendly urban practices whilst bridging social equality.
