Bettina Gtz, Peter Allison, "Before Architecture. Vor der Architektur: 13"
2008 | Ehglish, German | ISBN-10: 3211094253 | 211 pages | PDF | 12 MB
Die Kommissrin des sterreichischen Beitrages zur 11. Architekturbiennale in
Venedig stellt mit drei Positionen das Thema Vor der Architektur" zur Diskussion.
Band 1 des Kataloges zeigt den kompromisslosen Anspruch Josef Lackners

Architekturtheoretiker und Soziologe Werner Sewing im Gesprch mit sieben
sterreichischen Architekturbros das Thema Wohnbau als ein in Rezeption und

Josef Lackner stands out for his courage not to follow well- trodden paths but to
rethink basic principles. He rejected early on and with consistent vehemence the
so-called tourist style and the big fuss over speculative building taking place in
what he liked to call the Alpine fold, a topographical
reference to Tyrol, the federal state where he was born and bred. His realized
ideas in the form of built projects, by contrast, are statements about the
unmistakable in his work, his striving to find the form for an idea...
