- Summary:
- Whoop to the Duck! is both a comprehensive retrospective and a preview of the work of the Splittweqwrk label, active in the conflictive context between engineering and art since 1988. The publication covers the spectrum from urbanistic designs for our "post-urban society" to the return of the ornament and the exemplary implementation of new housing designs. In Splitterwerk's work, Frank Lloyd Wright's open plan, Adolf Loos' Raumplan or Margarete Schutte Lihotzky's Frankfurt Kitchen find their contemporary continuation in the Graz Apartment. In the 21st century, the walls have become a custom-made world of images which allows functions to be added on demand. The investigation of experimental surfaces has led Splitterwerk to fundamentally reassess imagery. It is a revival of a different nature for the "duck" criticised by Robert Venturi and Denise Scott Brown which calls for a further paradigm shift in architecture.
