The participating students came from Austria, Germany, The Netherlands and Switzerland. They were divided into five groups and lead by four landscape architects and Lucien den Arend - landscape artist from The Netherlands.
A goal of the Workshops was it to find possibilities with which one can react to the hidden rivers of the city Vienna in the form of town planning and organization. The Wien (Vienna) river, one of the few partly not covered rivers of the city, was offered as study material for the planning of possibilities to be highlighted and made explicit as an historical landmark of Vienna. The River Wien was hidden underground at the end of the nineteenth century to channel the devastating flood which occur during heavy rains and the spring snowmelt in the Wienerwald. Diseases resulted from people emitting their sewage into the river. So 'hidden' is the right word. But in our present time such an element can actually be an asset for a city as Vienna. After the Oranje Landschap workshop had also pointed the finger to this enormous opportunity to give Vienna one of its most important attractions, a relief sewage system has been made thirty meters underground - following the course of the Vienna River. Also a bicycle path segment has been opened along the concrete bed of the river - open from march to October. The waiting is for more spectacular openings - figuratively, as well as literally. After the 1949 movie The Third Man, which gave the underground river its mysterious side effect. Hopefully one day Vienna will be able to fully show the river which was named after it.
