CLOU architects

SOCIAL CIRCLE at Vienna Design Week 🔴
This autumn, we joined Vienna Design Week (Sept 26–Oct 5, 2025), one of Europe’s longstanding design festivals. It drew diverse perspectives, and the discussions we had there still echo.
🔴
We presented SOCIAL CIRCLE—a suspended rotunda built from 400 panels. Stepping inside surrounded visitors with our architectural projects, like a living archive. It highlighted those moments when design connects people, from initial models to lived-in spaces.

Panels were organized by dopamine colors, creating a spectrum that guided movement through the circle. Drawing from KonMari principles, it turned our work into a unified landscape, showing how color influences mood, rhythm, and atmosphere. Visitors shared how it evoked energy, optimism, and clarity in architecture.

The installation became a spot for pause, reflection, and conversation—on cities, communities, and shared environments. We connected with curious attendees exploring how architecture fosters human bonds, creativity, and well-being. Those rotunda talks left a mark.

Thanks to Vienna Design Week for the invite and warm welcome. We left with fresh ideas, new connections, and a stronger sense of design’s role in uniting people.
