Add to Order     Since 1997 the Architektur Archiv Austria, the Az W's online research tool, has been growing at a rate of 3-5 buildings per week. There are now around 1,100 contemporary Austrian objects integrated into 'nextroom' (architecture on the net), complete with the data to each building, as well as biographical information and the addresses of architects, clients and photographers, all of which can be called up at any time. As a result of the ongoing collaboration with all parties concerned, who have delivered excellent photographic documentation of buildings over the years, the idea arose to produce a series of postcards. Good for collecting - better for sending! The Architekturzentrum Wien's Archicard Edition 01 focuses on the unexceptional, nameless, everyday architecture of Austria. 16 Austrian architecture photographers were asked for their view of the ordinary/extraordinary state of this country's architecture, under the thematic heading 'anonymous architecture in Austria'. The result is an ironic, poetic, even pithy collection of images that tells us as much about the different ways the photographers concerned see things as it does about forms of building that are not usually dealt with by the 'awareness-creating machinery' of the architecture press and other mediators. An atmospheric image spread across 16 postcards... The edition is to be continued on an annual basis. 'Major urban star architecture owes its media presence and boom, magic and diversity to its images. But what is architecture photography focusing on in those moments when it is not involved with commissioned presentations, and looks at everyday architectural settings? Here, images by 16 major contemporary Austrian architecture photographers provide personal answers to this question. Their response is a view of the second-hand architecture of the peripheries and wastelands, of zones of aesthetic wilderness, of different symbols inscribed in those of architecture, of built mongrels, hybrid spaces, architectural meta-terrain. The photographs tell the parallel history of architecture, and speak of the formative power of normality and normalisation. This edition provides a subtle patchwork, rich in allusions. As is to be seen here, the work being done in the poetic laboratories of photographic art is not just metaphorically against the overly restrictive boundaries applying to both métiers: the architecture and the art that produces its images.'
