Austrian Architecture and Design: Beyond Tradition in the 1990s

Austrian architecture is often associated only with the great eras of the past. Works of the Baroque period, Beidermeier furniture and products of the Wiener Werkstaetten have always been enormously popular. However, today's Austrian architecture and design scene also attracts considerable attention well beyond its borders. Coop Himmelblau, Hans Hollein, Gustav Peichl, Heinz Tesar, Gunter Domenig and Designers Michael Wagner, Werner Schmidt, Gerd Mosettig and Fritz Maierhofer as well as designer groups AVI and BRAND have been selected for this publication, which introduces their most recent work - buildings, furniture, glass and gold objects and industrial products.
