While anything but uninspired, the single-family house that Albert Ortis and Reinhold Weichlbauer have built in Laufnitzdorf is a clear departure from conventional notions about inspiration.

On the Großer Isidor the air is thin. But now what until last year was a prize reserved for skilled climbers after an arduous ascent, is now child's play for tourists, even those wearing just light shoes.

Das Pflegeheim in Hainburg musste erweitert werden. Die Architekten Christian Kronaus und Erhard An-He Kinzelbach setzten einen 80 Meter langen, reinen Holzbau vor den Bestand. Nach dem Prinzip der Raumfaltung wurde ein vor- und rückspringendes Fassadensystem entwickelt, das den Bautyp um...

Hall A, opened in autumn 2008, increases the exhibition area of the Grazer Messe (Graz Trade Fair) on two levels by a total of 13,500 m2. Innovative building technology helped above all to reduce costs — and is also well hidden.

Two structures free up more than half of the lot, contributing to the public space of the neighborhood and salvaging two heritage constructions. The first adapts itself to the irregularities of the context; the second becomes an urban reference, from its corner location, of the Villa...

The commission called for new uses and meanings to be given to a space in the historic center of Guadalajara. Its essential features were to be respected, in order to reverse the process of degradation and to convert the area into a catalyst of the urban context that will emerge with the complex...

Die Widmung gab dem Hochhaus seine Form vor: eine Ellipse mit 70 Metern Längsdurchmesser auf einem 65 Meter tiefen, fast quadratischen Sockel. Die Architekten Neumann + Partner und das Büro ARTEC lösten die Rundung in polygonale Segmente auf und entwickelten eine komplexe Fassade...

この家には、デッキが4か所ある。見晴らしのいい屋上デッキでは食事をしたり、お風呂上がりに涼んだり、夫がビールを持って上がってきたり。3階海側の デッ キはDKと一体化した空間。庭の樹木が枝を伸ばし、自然も身近だ。

When Heinz Tesar's museum for the Essl Collection was opened in Klosterneuburg, near Vienna nine years ago it was Austria's first newly built private museum and seemed likely to long remain the only one of its kind. However a worthy successor soon came along in the form of the Liaunig...

The CEIEPAA animal production teaching and research center is located along the highway just five miles out of Tequisquiapan, Querétaro, on the way to Bernal, on a 147-hectare stretch of ranchland.

Sportpark Wörtherseestadion“wurde das neue Stadion in Klagenfurt zunächst getauft, das mit Fußballakademie, Ballsportkompetenzzentrum, Büros und vermietbaren Event-Locations weit mehr ist als nur ein Stadion. Eine lange Rampe zelebriert den Aufstieg in diese Arena des...

Hagenberg is a small community with an old castle and a large software park. Architects Pichler & Traupmann have given it a "new centre". They have designed a striking functional building located on a looping road where all routes cross.

We started from the idea of recovering a typology which has barely been tried out in Barcelona: the “Mediterranean” block of Antonio Bonet, a hybrid which seeks not so much to break the rules of Cerdá as to explore the potential of untested zoning regulations,...

The Mountain Dwellings are the second generation of the VM Houses. The program is 2/3 parking and 1/3 living. Rather than doing two separate buildings, we decided to merge parking and housing into a symbiotic relationship. All apartments have roof gardens facing the sun, amazing views, and...

The two projects presented here are part of Iniciativa Elemental, a Doing Tank associated with the Compañía de Petróleos de Chile (COPEC) and the Universidad Católica. We focus on designing and implementing lowcost urban public housing projects. As...

Together with Wolfram Mehlem and Jesper Bork Wolfgang Tschapeller has built an exceptional house in St Andrä/Wördern, close to the Danube The sharp-edged spatial tube made of fair-faced concrete hovers lightly on an elevated foundation above the expanse of the plain. Freely shaped...

Things are there and one doesn't notice them until one day one's gaze slips and one sees, explores, and is dazzled. That's how it was for me with La Oca, which wasn't La Oca but actually the Aeronautical Museum (formerly Palacio de las Artes), which I hadn't noticed, even...

The point of departure for the workshop was that buildings can no longer be conceived as complexes of functional packages. The self-sufficiency of the design needs a formal generation process, separate from the classic concept of architectural space. And although the analogy seems simple, the...

In Hadersdorf, am äußersten westlichen Rand Wiens, wurde kürzlich nach mehrjährigen Verzögerungen die Mustersiedlung „9=12“ eröffnet. Architekt Adolf Krischanitz...
