Description
This monograph on the Austrian architects, Ortner & Ortner, is in the form of an unconventional glossary on the art of building. The contrasting perspectives ofvarious essayistsprovide a stimulating analysis of an architectural oeuvre which ranks among the most enigmatic in contemporary architecture. The architects see European culture as an exemplary situation, in which old and new combine to create a particularly rich and multifaceted mix.
The book is a compendium of their buildings and designs for 'European Culture'. Presented are projects in three areas: theatres, museums and libraries. With Viennas museum district, Zurichs Schiffbau arts complex and the Bibliothek Dresden this book focuses on three internationally significant contemporary cultural buildings, supplemented by some twenty additional building projects ranging in time from early experimental work to the modern day. All are beautifully photographed in black-and-white, with plans.
