We, the house builders Construction in Austria since 1945 Location: Architekturzentrum Wien Exhibition: June 10.1998 - August 10.1998 opening: Tuesday, June 09, 1998, 7 p.m. With the exhibition "We home builders - Home building in Austria since 1945" the Architekturzentrum Wien focuses on the country’s largest construction assignment: the single-family house. At a time when the fractures in this country’s building tradition are becoming obvious - more and more houses built in the post-war era are now being made over to others, rebuilt or sold - the exhibition retraces a building history that has previously gone practically unnoticed. In portraits, biographies, and documentaries "We home builders" of all decades, take the floor to tell our house stories and pass on our experiences to future fellow house builders. The individual and subjective aspects of building and living at the center of the presentation form the foundation for developing the different positions of discourse. Social and economic changes are featured as shaping forces just as alterations in regional forms of building or in the building materials applied. Land- and townscape protection issues are addressed, as well as sprawling, traffic, the pros and cons of regulations of form, spatial planning measures, etc.; the old and new and perpetually unvarying issues of home building, the answers and much more. |
