Demokratikum——奥地利议会访客中心 / ATELIER BRÜCKNER布鲁克纳工作室

理解并体验民主：奥地利议会（维也纳）内的 Demokratikum 以一场内容丰富、设计友好的展览迎接访客，向公众传递关于奥地利民主制度的知识。
Understanding and experiencing democracy: The Demokratikum in the Austrian Parliament in Vienna welcomes its visitors with an informative, invitingly designed exhibition that conveys knowledge about Austrian democracy.

“我们的目标，是将民主作为共同生活的政治基础呈现出来。通过设计与互动体验，我们让抽象的知识变得可感知、可体验。”ATELIER BRÜCKNER 合伙人 René Walkenhorst 表示。该展览以清晰、吸引人的方式呈现内容，鼓励观众探索与发现，让人们在愉悦的体验中理解民主作为国家与社会制度的意义。
“Our aim is to convey democracy as the political foundation of our shared life. Through our design and interactive offerings, we make abstract knowledge tangible,” says René Walkenhorst, Partner at ATELIER BRÜCKNER. The exhibition presents the content in a clear and appealing way, inviting discovery and exploration. Combined with enjoyment and curiosity, democracy becomes accessible and comprehensible as a state and social system.

座由建筑师 Theophil Hansen 于 1874 年起兴建的新古典主义议会大厦，在过去五年中进行了全面翻修，并计划以全新方式向公众开放。其中重要的一环便是“Demokratikum – 体验议会”，一个位于历史柱廊大厅下方、面积约 1500 平方米的访客中心。访客可从环城大道（Ringstraße）步行平层进入，入口位于底层的雅典娜喷泉（Pallas-Athene-Brunnen）后方。
The neoclassical Parliament building by architect Theophil Hansen, constructed from 1874 onwards along Vienna’s Ringstraße, has undergone extensive renovation over the past five years and is now intended to open itself up to the public. A key element of this is the “Demokratikum – Experience Parliament”, a visitors’ centre located beneath the historic Columned Hall, covering 1,500 square metres. Visitors enter it at ground level from the Ringstraße, with the entrance situated directly behind the Pallas Athene Fountain.

Demokratikum 面向所有年龄层和教育背景的访客，对建筑与内容均做到无障碍访问。展陈设置了 27 个互动媒体站，为参观者提供以体验为导向的政治、历史与建筑知识。同时提供触觉装置与音频内容，以激发多感官参与。
The Demokratikum is designed for visitors of all ages and educational backgrounds. It is barrier-free both architecturally and in terms of content. Twenty-seven interactive media stations offer an experience-oriented introduction to politics, history, and architecture. Tactile stations and audio texts are also provided, appealing to multiple senses.

展览由 ATELIER BRÜCKNER 设计，分布于三个由翻修建筑团队 Jabornegg & Pálffy 新建成的空间：Agora（主厅）、Forum（论坛）和 Auditorium（报告厅）。此外，位于 Agora 后方的历史图书馆设有名为“坦诚对话（Tacheles reden）”的专题展，主题聚焦奥地利的反犹主义问题。
The exhibition by ATELIER BRÜCKNER is integrated into three spaces newly created by the renovation architects Jabornegg & Pálffy: the Agora as the main hall, the Forum, and the Auditorium. An additional exhibition area is located in the historic library directly behind the Agora, featuring the special exhibition “Tacheles reden”, which addresses antisemitism in Austria.

在入口通道 Passage 处，一个建筑横截面模型为参观者提供议会参观的开场预览。模型前方设置透明 OLED 屏幕，通过动画叠加展示建筑历史：从 1874–1883 年的建设、二战后的重建，到 2014 年决定进行的整体翻修。
Already in the Passage, the access to the Demokratikum, a cross-sectional model of the building prepares visitors for their visit to Parliament. A transparent OLED screen positioned in front overlays the model with animations that convey the building’s history—from its construction between 1874 and 1883, to reconstruction after the Second World War, and finally the general renovation decided upon in 2014.

Agora（主展厅）

Demokratikum 的核心空间是 Agora，一个面积约 900 平方米的大厅，由两列支柱纵向划分空间。中央设置了“议会最新动态”（Aktuell im Parlament）信息站，访客在此可查看国民议会与联邦议会的最新会议、决议及来自议会大厦的新闻。触觉信息站展示建筑平面及模型，为访客提供关于议会功能与空间布局的概览。
The main space of the Demokratikum is the Agora, a 900-square-metre hall structured lengthwise by two rows of columns. At its centre is the information station “Aktuell im Parlament”, where visitors can access updates on current sessions of the National Council and Federal Council, as well as decisions and other news from Parliament. Tactile information stations with floor plans and models complement the offering, providing an overview of the functions and spatial organisation of the building.

Agora 左侧长墙长达 18 米，呈现奥地利民主发展的历史。四个可移动显示屏提供墙上照片与展品（如 1861 年宪法性君主立宪制的《二月敕令》复本）的详细信息。观众可通过影片、文本和动画，让静态图像“活起来”，并深入了解从 1848 年起至今的奥地利议会制度发展。
Along the left longitudinal wall of the Agora, an 18-metre installation presents the history of democracy in Austria. Four sliding monitors offer information about the photographs and objects on display, including a facsimile of the 1861 February Patent establishing the constitutional monarchy. By accessing explanatory films, texts, and animations, visitors bring the static images to life and immerse themselves in the history of Austrian parliamentarianism—from its beginnings in 1848 to the present day.

Agora 右侧长墙的展区主题为“我们就是民主”，聚焦公民与其代表。四个展墙展示普通奥地利人在短片中表达对民主与政治的期望，探讨议员的职责与个人参与的重要性。访客还能拍摄自拍并投影到全景视频墙上，成为展览的一部分。
The right wall of the Agora is dedicated to the theme “We Are Democracy”, focusing on citizens and their representatives. At four stations, individual Austrians share their wishes and thoughts about democracy, politics, and the responsibilities of members of parliament in short video statements. Visitors can also take a photo of themselves and display it on the panoramic wall, becoming part of the installation.

两张长互动桌对展厅两侧的主题进行深化：
Two elongated media tables further deepen the themes presented on the walls:

• 第一张桌子展示过去 170 年民主发展中的关键历史时刻；
  One table allows visitors to explore key moments from 170 years of democratic history;
• 第二张桌子以游戏化方式介绍在议会大厦内的多种职业，每个角色（如全会顾问或技术人员）均可在其“日常工作路线”中被点击查看。
  The second table playfully presents the diverse professional activities within the Parliament building, allowing visitors to follow characters—such as a plenary adviser or a technician—through their daily work routines.

两张同主题的互动桌也设置于 Plenarium（眺望厅）。该新建、对公众开放的空间位于国民议会大厅上方，使访客能够从高处俯瞰议事活动。
Two additional media tables with the same content are located in the Plenarium, a newly created, publicly accessible space situated above the National Council Chamber, where visitors can observe parliamentary proceedings from above.

Auditorium（报告厅）与 Forum（论坛）

Agora 一侧为 Auditorium，用于新闻发布会。此空间聚焦“第四权力”——媒体，探讨政治与媒体之间的互动关系，涵盖传统媒体与社交平台。内容聚焦媒体在民主中的作用、意义，以及在日益数字化的时代政治话语的变化。
Adjacent to the Agora is the Auditorium, used for press conferences. It is dedicated to the “fourth estate”—the media—addressing the interplay between politics and media, including both traditional media and social platforms. It examines their role and significance in democracy and how political discourse evolves in an increasingly digital world.

该空间还将不定期展示摄影作品。室内 13 平方米的 LED 大屏可直播全会会议，并展示平时公众无法进入的议会区域。
Changing photo exhibitions complement the room’s programme. A 13-square-metre LED wall at the front of the room displays live broadcasts of plenary sessions and offers insights into areas of the building normally inaccessible to the public.

在 Agora 的对侧是 Forum，其核心是一项大型媒体装置。访客可与国民议会与联邦议会的议长、以及各党派领袖进行“虚拟对话”。他们在视频中向访客致意，并回答精选问题，例如：为何从政？如何看待奥地利的重大成就？
Opposite the Agora lies the Forum, dominated by an impressive media installation that invites visitors to enter into dialogue with the Presidents of the National Council and the Federal Council, as well as parliamentary party leaders. They greet visitors and provide personal answers to selected questions—for example, why they entered politics and where they see Austria’s greatest achievements.

在 Forum 的中央，一张互动问答桌邀请大小访客共同参与关于议会、选举与法律的知识问答。最多可五人同时参与，以游戏方式学习包括：议会职能、公众参与、民主史、议会大厦、国家与宪法、媒体与公众以及当代民主等主题。
In the centre of the Forum, an interactive quiz table invites visitors of all ages to test and expand their knowledge of Parliament, elections, and legislation. Up to five people can participate simultaneously in this shared game, exploring topics such as the functions of Parliament, civic participation, the history of democracy, the Parliament building, the State and Constitution, media and the public, and democracy today.

Forum 的长墙展示重要且具社会意义的议题，例如：“在严格条件下是否应允许协助死亡？”、“是否应全面禁止政党捐款？”访客可对这些议题做出选择，并将自己的投票结果与议员们的真实投票结果进行对比。
The longitudinal walls address socially relevant issues on which members of parliament have already voted, such as:“Should assisted dying be permitted under strict conditions?”“Should party donations be generally prohibited?”Visitors cast their own votes on these topics, and their results are compared with those of the elected representatives.

展览中进一步的互动站点解释：立法过程、公民参与方式、权力分立原则、议会的监督工具。
此外，儿童（以及成人）可通过屏幕模拟 Politiker:innen（政治人物）的一天工作。
Additional stations illustrate the legislative process, opportunities for civic participation, the principle of separation of powers, and the control instruments of Parliament. Children (and adults) can also simulate a politician’s daily routine on an interactive screen.

Agora 中还设有多个儿童站点：
Additional stations for children are located in the Agora:

• 通过大型“寻宝图式插画”（Wimmelbild）学习奥地利民主史
  A “hidden-object picture” allows them to explore the history of Austrian democracy
• 了解写入法律的儿童权利，“探索者护照”（Pass für Entdeckerinnen und Entdecker）指引小访客前往标记为黄色的儿童站点，并可收集印章，将记忆带回家。
  They can learn about their legally enshrined children’s rights
• The “Pass for Young Explorers” guides them to the yellow-marked children’s stations. They can collect stamps in the booklet and take it home as a memory.

Demokratikum 除星期日和节假日外每日开放。通过 Demokratikum，访客可进入这座具有历史价值的议会大厦，包括其受保护的历史空间，以及新建的屋顶餐厅。从屋顶露台可俯瞰维也纳市中心，包括英雄广场和霍夫堡宫的一线城市景观。
The Demokratikum is open daily except Sundays and public holidays. Through the visitors’ centre, guests gain access to the impressive historic building with its heritage-protected rooms, as well as the new rooftop restaurant. From the roof terrace, a spectacular view opens over Vienna’s city centre, the First District, including Heldenplatz and the Hofburg.
