Salon Discussion: Josef Frank Accidentally
© Architekturzentrum Wien

With his Accidentism Josef Frank took a stance against everything that the architecture of his time postulated. He consciously designed his environments to look as if they were created at random. His motto was: “One can use everything that can be used.” A position with which Frank has polarised opinions to this day.
