    Falter, Wien. Nr. 13 / 1986 Raimund Abraham: Rund um den Nullpunkt Ein Falter-Gespräch mit Raimund Abraham (New York - Wien), anfang der sechziger Jahre mit Hans Hollein und Walter Pichler Mitbegründer des ‚Austrian Phenomen’ einer neuen experimentellen Architektur und heute einer der führenden theoretischen Köpfe der Avantgarde für eine Architektur nach der Postmoderne. Der Anlaß: Seine Ausstellung ‚Stadtfragmente' im Otto Wagner-Archiv in Wien. Seine Gesprächspartner: Dietmar Steiner und Christian Reder, beide tätig an der Hochschule für angewandte Kunst in Wien. +++ Steiner: Was uns ‚Hinterbliebene' immer interessiert: Warum weg aus Wien, warum solange New York, warum nicht zurück. warum nicht woanders hin? Abraham: Das ist einfach zu beantworten. Ich fühlte mich plötzlich eingeengt, es gab da so einen Stillstand. Mein Studienkollege und zeitweiliger Arbeitspartner Friedrich St. Florian, der schon an der Rhode Island School of Design tätig war, hat mich dann, 1964, für eine kleine Ausstellung und ein Seminar eingeladen und dort hat man mir eben eine Professur angeboten und so bin ich geblieben. Zuerst war ich ein paar Monate in New York, dort habe ich Frederick Kiesler kennengelernt und er hat mir sein Atelier zur Verfügung gestellt, weil er krank war, und so habe ich zum ersten Mal diese Stadt erfahren. Das war wie eine Erlösung. Und in den zwanzig Jahren seither habe ich gelernt, wie der Abstand zur eigenen Kultur Sensibilitäten hervorruft, z.B. in Bezug auf die Muttersprache, die man ohne ihn nicht findet. Inzwischen hat sich New York wie jede andere internationale Stadt auch dem Innentourismus geopfert . Die Leute verlieren ihr Gesicht, die Stadt wird anonym.

  • Radical Austria Press Release Website 20210119
    Radical Austria: Everything is Architecture In Radical Austria – Everything is Architecture, you will discover the mind-expanding, boundary-shifting and socially critical work of the Austrian avant-garde in the 1960s and 70s. Members of this group did not allow themselves to be hemmed in by traditional design disciplines, preferring instead to create buildings, environments, objects, fashion, performances, furniture and even experiences. Radical Austria – Everything is Architecture focuses on recent history with works that are even more topical and relevant today. The exhibition offers the first opportunity ever to experience the specific character of Austria’s contribution to the international post-war avant-garde in this way. It includes work by Coop Himmelblau, Haus-Rucker-Co, Zünd-Up, Walter Pichler, Valie Export, Hans Hollein, Angela Hareiter and Raimund Abraham. Cover of the magazine ‘Bau’ 4/1968. Model with ‘Austrian Glasses’. Austriennale - Austria at the 14th Triennale di Milano, 1968. Copyright: Private archive Hollein ‘Everything is architecture’ The worKs, performances, installations, interventions, clothes, furniture, environments and architecture of groups liKe Coop Himmelblau, Haus-RucKer-Co and Zünd-Up, and of individual designers and artists such as Walter Pichler (1936-2012), Hans Hollein (1934- 2014), Raimund Abraham (1933-2010) and Valie Export (1940), are responses to societal and technological developments. Whether optimistically and playfully or ominously and critically, they teased out the consequences of these developments for the future – the one in which we now live. What makes the Austrian avant-garde unique is its fascination for the body and the way its designs often extended beyond the drawing board: almost everything was actually executed and can be seen in the exhibition.

Processing the universal rather than the specific aspects of urbanism, these zoning codes have a limited capacity to adapt to local significance and site-specific characteristics, to which architecture is much more responsive, and thus often constrain design innovation. Although various attempts have been made to improve the interconnection between the universal and the specific, we need a wider array of analytic frameworks within the discipline of architecture for evaluating the broader implications of the codes that regulate the form and use of buildings within the context of contemporary city planning. Taking architecture as an intermediary instrument, this study develops the notion of code manipulation as an analytical framework to be used for stimulating and evaluating designs beyond the constraints of code.

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles The State of Architecture A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Architecture by Sebastiano Fabbrini 2018 © Copyright by Sebastiano Fabbrini 2018 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION The State of Architecture by Sebastiano Fabbrini Doctor of Philosophy in Architecture University of California, Los Angeles, 2018 Professor Sylvia Lavin, Chair Although architecture was historically considered the most public of the arts and the interdependence between building and the public realm was a key feature of the post-war discourse, the process of postmodernization undermined the traditional structures of power through which architecture operated. At the center of this shakeup was the modern structure par excellence : the State. This dissertation analyzes the dissolution of the bond between architecture and the State through a double lens. First, this study is framed by the workings of an architect, Aldo Rossi, whose practice mirrored this transformation in a unique way, going from Mussolini’s Italy to Reagan’s America, from the Communist Party to Disneyland. The second lens is provided by a set of technological apparatuses ii that, in this pre-digital world, impacted the reach of the State and the boundaries of architecture. Drawing on the multifaceted root of the term “State,” this dissertation sets out to explore a series of case studies that addressed the need to re-state architecture – both in the sense of relocating architecture within new landscapes of power and in the sense of finding ways to keep reproducing it in those uncharted territories. iii The dissertation of Sebastiano Fabbrini is approved.
