Description

Compelling texts put architecture in its proper cultural, social, political, economic, and technical contexts. Each section is introduced by a “hot Question” that is very much relevant to today’s world – from the impact of globalization to questions like “How do we want to live” to architecture’s contribution to our survival on this planet.
The book takes a fresh look at 150 years of Austrian architectural history. It presents more than 500 illustrations of models, photos, drawings, textile designs, furniture, design objects, and historical documents from the Az W’s collection.
