The Third Achleitner

in German
“Here at last!”: the third volume of the architecture guidebook by Friedrich Achleitner. The compilation of relevant 20th century building closes impressively with this last volume, which is on Vienna. In his painstaking field research Friedrich Achleitner is not solely concerned with the presentation of so-called ‘modern’ architecture but also with describing a wide range of phenomena in the history of architecture. He is not only interested in architecture in an academic or art historical context but also in the buildings of “everyday need” to the extent that culture historical information can be read from them. Otto Kapfinger, Barbara Neubauer, Dietmar Steiner and Friedrich Achleitner explore the recipe for success behind this lifetime achievement in a conversation with Stephan Templ.
