Description

What kind of mood can the architecture of a building create? What demands are made of cultural structures? How do architects handle them? Building[s] for the Arts offers a comprehensive overview of the outstanding buildings that were created for the arts and culture in Lower Austria over the last 20 years.

Many cultural buildings with a cross-regional effect are discussed along with many smaller buildings. Some of the buildings are the St. Pölten Festspielhaus festival building by Klaus Kada, the Lower Austrian State Museum by Hans Hollein, the Kunsthalle Krems art hall by Adolf Krischanitz, the Krems Caricature Museum by Gustav Peichl, the Wolkenturm (Cloud Tower) open air arena by next enterprise and the Grafenegg Auditorium Concert Hall by Schröder Schulte-Ladbeck/Dieter Irresberger.

Sumptuous photos by Bruno Klomfar show the cultural buildings’ function and real-life use. The architects reveal their own special approaches to the respective demands in statements. A historical retrospective and an overview of the Lower Austrian cultural construction and architecture landscape complete the volume.
