a_show Stage 1 Austrian Architecture in the 20th and 21st Century Location: Architekturzentrum Wien - New Hall Exhibition: 04 March 2004 - 06 September 2004 Opening Hours: Daily 10:00 am - 7:00 pm, Wed until 9:00 pm Opening: Wednesday 3 March 2004, 7pm Tickets: EUR 5.- / EUR 3,50.- reduced Starting in 2004 the Architekturzentrum Wien is to house a semi-permanent exhibition, a survey of Austrian architecture of the 20th and 21st century. The chronological succession of particular phases in the development of architecture is illustrated along a time axis. 10 thematic areas encourage visitors to delve further in specific places. Confronting historic contributions with contemporary projects is intended to sharpen the visitor's understanding of architecture. Being a specific theme in Austrian architecture as well as being a theme relevant to visitors everyday lives, 'Housing' forms a focus running along the chronological progression. The full range of media used for the presentation of architecture in the exhibition is presented appropriately: plans, sketches, texts, photographs, models and films bring the 20th century to life and lead us into the present. This exhibition is a long-term lively response by the Architekturzentrum Wien to its responsibility to teach and inform, in its role as Austria's foremost institution for the mediation of architecture. The Exhibition is to Open in 3 Acts: Act 1: Opening 03.03.2004 Prologue/Heritage (Ringstrasse Historicism, The Protagonists of Modernism) Time-tracks and films for the entire exhibition Housing, pre-1960 Basic Architectural Framework (design of walking-chair Design Studio GmbH) Closed 07-14.09.2004 The exhibition is being extended, phase 2 will open on Sept. 15. Act 2: Opening September 15, 2004 Act 3: Opening in October 2005 The time-track continues to the present day with the generation of additional themes.
