The Architekturzentrum Wien’s series Emerging Architecture is an annual viewing of current architectural positions in Austria. Buildings and projects are shown by ten teams each time: individual projects developed beyond trends that have already attracted a certain amount of attention in specialist circles but that have yet to receive a broader international reaction. The publication, touring exhibition and guest lectures offer a public platform and the chance to network in the European scene.
This year’s selection has a few different foci: minimised buildings using standardised elements, new approaches to the handling of rural contexts, the unconventional use of modern materials under restrictive parameters, new concepts for vertical accommodation, radical transformations of historic substance, etc. The various stances taken by the ten studios introduced here are linked by a basic tendency: a retention of distance to sculptural, solid building and the trend towards immateriality in or the frame and membrane-like definition of space. These are far less architectures of ’strong images’ than they are stronger, sensual aggregates in the service of qualities that leave what may be illustrated behind them.
The accompanying bilingual book published by Springer Vienna New York will be presented at the opening.
The exhibition will be introduced by: Dietmar Steiner, Director Architekturzentrum Wien Otto Kapfinger, Curator of the exhibition
