Natives of the Mühlviertel and Innviertel Districts

Stirring news from the provinces! In the federal state of Upper Austria quite a lot seems to be happening in the building world. A number of books documenting this phenomenon prove that, even outside the economically dominant triangle described by the local towns of Linz, Wels and Steyr, a new, contemporary architecture is developing. Parallel to this a variety of local spontaneous and informal architecture mediation initiatives have sprung up that aim at establishing paths of communication between the population at large, clients, architects, and decision-makers, and that also help instigate the necessary discourse in the public realm.

Has Upper Austria perhaps found an answer to the question about the optimal conditions for the development of good architecture?
A number of protagonists from the scene will discuss this topic together with Friedrich Achleitner.
