Achleitner’s Austria The Archive of Twentieth Century Architecture Location: Architekturzentrum Wien - Old hall Exhibition: 18 May 2000 - 07 August 2000 Opening: Wednesday 17 May 2000, 7pm The main focus of the exhibition is on roughly thirty selected buildings with which the structure of the archive is illustrated – using examples from Vienna`s - Neubau district and the City of Dornbirn. In addition, four detailed building-biographies thematicize a central aspect of archival recording and the analysis of building history. Vienna - Neubau The borough of NEUBAU was formed in 1850 through the incorporation of the suburbs of St. Ulrich, Spittelberg, Altlerchenfeld, Neubau and Schottenfeld; until 1862 – when the borough of MARGARETEN was detached from WIEDEN – it was the 6th District. Comprising an area of about 1.6 km2, it is bordered on the north by Lerchenfelder Strasse, on the south by Mariahilferstrasse, on the west by Lerchenfelder Gürtel and Neubaugürtel and to the east by the No. 2 transit line. As is the case for the adjacent borough of MARIAHILF, Mariahilferstrasse (the "Bavarian Landstrasse”) forms the urban backbone of the district. This shared spine gives testament to the fact that part of the suburbs of Laimgrube and Mariahilf lay to the north of Mariahilferstrasse and were thus incorporated into NEUBAU. STAFA-Warehouse (“Zentralpalast”) Mariahilferstrasse 120, A-1070 Vienna City of Dornbirn Dornbirn, incorporated as a city in 1901, is not only the hub of the Vorarlberg textile industry and a major convention center; it also proudly proclaims itself as a garden city. The population, which stood at ca. 13,000 in 1900, increased to about 35,000 by 1971. The present municipality is comprised of several villages that have grown together while preserving their own individual centers: Niederdorf, Oberdorf, Hatlerdorf and Haselstauden. Niederdorf – the market – is the municipal core and in close proximity to the Railway Station. Aside from the relatively compact architecture of the business districts, the large part of the urban fabric is single-family houses and, above all along the old water courses, industrial buildings.
