More about the book
Wilhelm Holzbauer is one of the most significant Austrian architects and architecture teachers of the second half of the 20th century. His architectural stance derives from modernism but is also embedded in a larger historical context. He skillfully engages with traditional typologies and interprets them in a contemporary manner. His architecture avoids trends and is designed for longevity. The book includes an essay by philosopher Rudolf Burger and presents an overview of his entire body of work, along with a current assessment of his latest projects. Each chapter is accompanied by introductions from the editor, which characterize Holzbauer's work and place it in a broader context.
