Summary:
Plottegg is one of Austria's most high-profile avant-garde architects. He has been pioneering the use of the computer since the 1980's. However, using the technology purely as an electronic drawing board is not enough for him - programs are intended to generate solutions. The works selected for this publication therefore represent the architect's design concepts and working methods rather than solutions for building projects. The projects are primarily presented in the form of images; descriptions, data and comments have been reduced to the minimum possible. To that extent, this book is also a visual supplement to his essays published up to now. This first monograph on Plottegg's built and planned architecture closes a gap in the documentation of innovative Austrian architects.
Plottegg ist einer der profiliertesten Avantgarde-Architekten Österreichs. Als Pionier setzt er den Computer seit den 1980er Jahren ein. Die Verwendung als elektronisches Reißbrett ist ihm zu wenig, Programme sollen Lösungen generieren. Die für diese Publikation ausgewählten Werke repräsentieren in Folge daher weniger die Erfüllung von Bauaufgaben sondern eher Architekturkonzepte und Arbeitsweisen. Die Darstellung der Projekte im Buch beruht auf Bildern; Beschreibungen, Daten sowie Kommentare wurden auf das Geringstmögliche reduziert. Insofern versteht sich das Buch auch als visuelle Ergänzung seiner bisher erschienenen Texte. Diese erste Monographie gebauter und projektierter Architektur schließt eine Lücke in der Dokumentation innovativer österreichischer Architekten.
