WDC Hub Opening

Designed by studio formagora, the WDC Hub will provide information about the annual programme, offer space for exchange, workshops and encounters, and accompany the numerous projects throughout the year.

Visitors to the opening can expect a varied programme with talks, an international live broadcast as part of Civic City's 24-hour conference re_Design Democracies, a workshop on the installation Collective Paper Aesthetics by Noa Haim from the Netherlands, exhibition tours and a small winter reception. The WDC Hub will thus become a lively meeting place for the WDC 2026 throughout 2026. Admission is free.
