UMBAU 2024
A life changing experience bound between two covers and released into the world.
Vienna, Austria is the home of the Umbau studio. Led through the streets of the city by Professor William Tate, a group of students embark on a transformative discovery to learn the art of the Craft, Beauty, Love, and Purpose. By meeting with shoe makers, hat makers, monks, designers, painters, and everyone in between, the students fall in love with the excellence that is Vienna. "Umbau”, found on construction signs in Vienna symbolizes the chaos and the new beginnings – just what the students returning to America bring. A transformation of the mind, body, and soul.
REVIEWS

My thanks for the latest edition. The kind words about Gretl were lovely. And I was particularly taken by the experience descriptions at Lobmeyr and Peter Parkanyi in Budapest.

I have immersed myself in your book. You have taken me to vienna. A glimpse into a living entity of learning and transformation. This book, like life, holds an immensity that can be flipped through and missed all together, or read deeply, searched and one can see a short period of life that is transformative. Thank you for allowing me into your Vienna. Even the book has been transformative. Thank you for letting me into this ephemeral, ineffable world you have dared to try to capture between two hard-backed covers – and succeeded.

and the book reads great. It really conveys the investigative and spiritual adventure of your Vienna field trips. It lies out on the front desk in our office for everybody to read!
