- Summary:
- Anton Schweighofer, one of Austria's most eminent architects, supports a rationalism related both to traditional anonymous architecture and to the classical modern movement, making him a lone figure in an architectural scene that prefers sophisticated detail and glossy surfaces over the radical sounding out of the typological and structural aspects of building. Among the projects presented here in detail are a Children's Village in New Delhi, a Research Station in the Arctic, and residential buildings in Vienna and Berlin. Each demonstrates Schweighofer's peerless and uncompromising architectural principles.
