What means global Village??
• During the „Days of Utopia 2003“ Franz Nahrada from Vienna showed the ideas of „global villages“
• In the Center there is a „Piazza Telematica“ where modern technologies allow you to be connected to the whole wisdom of the world.
• The House KB5 transfered those ideas into reality
