Accumulating over a span of four decades, the "Achleitner Archive" is the ultimate commemoration of recent Austrian architecture. With thirty selected buildings - using examples from Vienna’s Neubau district and the city of Dornbirn - the structure of the archive will be illustrated. Four detailed building-biographies show that buildings are "vital subjects" with a complex and often conflict-laden history. The exhibition also offers a first glance into the projected digital archive, which will be available to the public after completion of data processing to more than 30,000 objects. Opening wednesdays 08 Wednesday, May 24, 2000, 7:00 P.M., Architekturzentrum Wien On the occasion of this exhibition, on Wednesday Friedrich Achleitner and guests will discuss the following questions: what relevance does an Architectural Topographer have today?
