The Forum of Results triggers a productive interchange between the city of Vienna and Europan:
Architects from the 95 winning teams elaborate projects for five development areas during a four days workshop, which takes place immediately before the Forum. The results of this workshop shall inspire Vienna’s planning authorities in directing future urban processes.
May 2012
The E11 Forum of Results is the climax of all E11 events: The final Europan 11 rendez-vous! It brings together all 95 winning teams with representatives of 49 cities and 17 Europan organizing countries. It offers a series of debates, social gatherings, and architectural excursions to exemplary city development areas of Vienna.

"The project picks up the topic of traffic flow quite differently from “Yes we bridge” , suggesting an amalgam of movements with a maximum of compression and proximity. It addresses the “dilemma” of ordering and intensifying in an intriguing way: a clockwise spiral move counteracts the familiar solution of a separation of levels, creating a unifying field for cars, public transport, bicycles and pedestrians. A variety of inclinations and the “sprawl” of furniture specify the qualities of the surface and organize the flow of the different actors. Holes provide shortcuts and oblique perspectives. The clear idea to create a “theatre” of traffic can be seen as the primary condition for an attractive urbanity."

"The project makes visible the lack of an overall spatial concept that has to solve the local situation by introducing a much more comprehensive view on the necessary urbanistic agenda: How should we link which things? How can one spatially solve the local knot in order to provide a framing condition for a sustainable, mid- and long-term development of the whole area, addressing as well north south and east west connections? The project’s large scale clearly reflects the conflict between big events and urban everyday, both in a spatial and programmatic sense. At the same time this carpet-like transformation of the linear public space can be seen as a centre of a development whose potential existence can be introduced through the very fact of its large scale."
