Friedrich Achleitner, architecture expert, author and professor emeritus, repeated his legendary series of lectures at the Kunstuniversität Linz from 2010 to 2012. He spoke using selected examples from his personal archives of slides of the architecture of the 20th century, compiled over decades. These lectures are now in print. The book also includes approx. a thousand photographs taken mostly by Achleitner himself, showing his capacity not only as a critic but also an architectural photographer.
