The Architekturzentrum Wien’s series "Emerging Architecture", launched in Autumn 2000, 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. In conjunction with the book published by Springer, Emerging Architecture offers a public platform for the participants, with touring exhibitions and guest lectures offering them the chance to network in the European scene.
This year’s selection has a few different foci: minimized buildings using standardized 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, "drawing-free" design methods, no dividing lines between ground-level and high-rise construction.
The various stances taken by the ten studios introduced here are linked by one common basic tendency: a distance to sculptural, solid building and the trend towards immateriality 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 reality of the architecture is not what is built but what buildings trigger off in the flow of life." Otto Kapfinger, curator.

The exhibition concept The exhibition, consisting of 10 mobile transport and presentation boxes, has been conceived as a compact touring show. This year the first selected groups in "Emerging Architecture 1" has very successfully toured architecture institutions around the world (Danish Centre for Architecture – Gammeldok/Copenhagen, Deutsches Architekturmuseum – DAM/Frankfurt, FONÓ Budai Zenehaz/Budapest). The presentation boxes are to be repackaged for "Emerging Architecture 2 – Kommende Architektur 2. 10 More Austrians" and exhibited in the Alte Halle of the Architekturzentrum Wien as the first in a series of venues.
ZONE is to produce the video documentation to a significant building by each of the chosen architects’ studios. With analogue displays providing supplementary information – the two elements together forming a flexible and easy-to-use set.
The catalogue A book published by Springer Vienna New York is to accompany the exhibition. The bilingual German/English catalogue "Emerging Architecture 2. Kommende Architektur 2. 10 More Austrians" is to be presented to the public at the opening of the exhibition on 05.12.2001. The catalogue is so designed that the contributions by each of the individual studios can be removed separately and used as portfolios. ISSN 1437-7438; ISBN 3-211-83640-3, 256 pages, 350 b/w illustrations. Prize: EUR 40,60.- / ATS 559. Curator: Otto Kapfinger
As part of the exhibition project "Emerging Architecture 2", the participating architects are to be presenting current buildings and projects in the Architekturzentrum Wien.
