Description

Viennese Architect Hermann Czech has been shaping a heterogeneous and ambivalent oeuvre since the late 1960s, persisting to the present day.

His approach, blending theory and practice in what he calls "Denken zum Entwurf", is a central theme.

Through dialectical pairs of concepts the book explores Czech's engagement with architecture's internal contradictions and illustrates how he seeks to resolve architectural dilemmas in a dialectical manner. Czech's position is discussed in relation to the opposing pairs audacity/underestimation, consumption/production, artwork/utility, mannerism/participation, subjectivity/objectivity, and old/new.

This aims to spotlight aspects of his work that have received limited attention in existing literature. Dialectics of architecture Architectural Theory Vienna
