Architecture in Austria in the 20th & 21st centuries

Revised, updated, and expanded by nearly 100 projects, this new edition of the catalog for the "a_show", Architekturzentrum Wien’s (Az W) permanent exhibition on Austrian architecture of the 20th and 21st century, has become a stand-alone reference book. Its scope extends beyond the themes of the exhibition. Apart from condensing the current discourse on Austrian architecture of the last 150 years, it also documents relevance and singularity of the Az W collection.
