Hermann Czech ranks among Austria’s most renowned architects. His multifaceted work combines theory and practice, and ranges from urban planning over residential, school and hotel buildings to small-scale interventions and exhibition architecture. Czech bases his design approach on methodically developed planning decisions that simultaneously remain open to the unexpected and the everyday. The exhibition presents a selection of his work from the 1960s to the present, including theoretical projects. It also explores Czech’s critical engagement with the architectural avant-garde of the 1960s, as featured for example in the trigon exhibitions in Graz.
