Mein Wasser
Wasser. Es spendet Leben, erhält uns am Leben, begegnet uns als kleiner Tropfen oder als riesiger Ozean. Unzählige Mythen ranken sich darum, Geschichten erzählen davon, doch die letzten Geheimnisse, die dieses flüssige, manchmal zu Eis erstarrte Element birgt, warten noch darauf, enträtselt zu werden. In diesem Buch lassen wir euch daran teilhaben, wie das Wasser unsere Fantasie beflügelt hat, um Geschichten zu schreiben und Gedichte zu verfassen. Band 2 der Serie »Elemente des Lebens« befasst sich mit dem Element des Erzengels Gabriel, in dem die Sternzeichen Krebs, Skorpion und Fische stehen und das der Himmelsrichtung Westen zugeteilt ist.
Meine Luft
Luft. Sie umgibt uns - immer und überall. Das leichteste der Elemente, das uns mit jedem Atemzug begleitet. Sinnbild vieler Emotionen: "Du bist meine Luft zum Atmen", "Ich könnte in die Luft gehen ...", "Da bleibt mir die Luft weg", aber auch Beflügelung unserer Fantasie. Geschichten der Luft, über Höhen, Atemnot, Gespräche mit dem Wind, Ballons und natürlich der Liebe. Warum Sie dieses Buch lesen sollen? Weil wir Ihnen gerne die Geschichten erzählen, die uns die Luft zugeflüstert hat. Band 1 der Serie "Elemente des Lebens" befasst sich mit dem Element des Erzengels Raphael, in dem die Sternzeichen Zwillinge, Waage und Wassermann stehen und das der Himmelsrichtung Osten zugeteilt ist.

Hands Have No Tears to Flow
The primary topic of the book is the relationship between the human body and the architectural and urban spaces constructed for it. Identities flow between one subject and another as warmth in a heat exchanger. Is there anything similarly valid for architecture? Is it possible for architectural rules of buildings to be assigned to the inhabitants? Can inhabitants absorb the functionality buildings? Then, isn‘t the construction site the inhabitant rather than the building? Considering this, how will our stock of building components then develop? hands have no tears to flow... is a collection of commentaries, pictures and excerpts, quotations and constructs conceived around the human body. The book contains material by Ray und Charles Eames, Bernard Rudofsky, Friedrich Kiesler and other contributors. The design firm grafisches Büro is responsible for the bibliophilic design.
Plenum. Places of Power
Parliaments are both representative assemblies of the people and monuments of political and national identity. This catalogue for the Austrian contribution to the 14th International Architecture Exhibition in Venice features 196 national parliaments of the world. It fans out a comparison of the various messages to be conveyed by the architecture of parliament buildings: perpetuity, conformity with historical precedents or the fervent manifestation of a new beginning. However, neatly ordered by name and presented in a homogeneous fashion, their monumentality is somewhat lessened. The cold light of analysis brings forward numerous formal similarities of buildings that serve completely different political regimes.
300 Jahre Wiener Porzellanmanufaktur
"In 2018 the Vienna Porcelain Manufactory celebrates its 300th anniversary. Having obtained the charter to produce porcelain in 1718, it is considered the second oldest porcelain manufactory in Europe after Meissen. The volume accompanying the exhibition in the MAK - Austrian Museum of Applied Arts / Contemporary Art in Vienna will now reopen the history of the Vienna Porcelain Manufactory, which closed in 1864, where major works such as the porcelain chamber from the Palais Dubsky (Dubsky Room) and the Zwettl centrepiece are presented in light of new findings. With numerous illustrations of leading pieces from the MAK's collection and international loans, the catalogue attests to the significance that Viennese porcelain has enjoyed as an outstanding cultural achievement of Austria since the Baroque era."--Publisher.

Self-Timer Stories
This group exhibition at the Austrian Cultural Forum New York, titled Self-Timer Stories, shows works from the Federal Austrian Photography Collection – situated in the Museum der Moderne Salzburg - in interplay with international positions from the field of extended photography.00The leitmotif of this exhibition is the creation of a self-portrait via self-timer. This practice, popular both in everyday life and in art, reciprocates with technical developments and shows itself in the release cables appearing in the compositions, the digital remote-control release, or the extended hand. In the moment of the camera’s clicking (which is even artificially reproduced in digital photography) th...
Interwar Vienna
Although beset by social, political, and economic instabilities, interwar Vienna was an exhilarating place, with pioneering developments in the arts and innovations in the social sphere. Research on the period long saw the city as a mere shadow of its former imperial self; more recently it has concentrated on high-profile individual figures or party politics. This volume of new essays widens the view, stretching disciplinary boundaries to consider the cultural and social movements that shaped the city. The collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Empire resulted not in an abandonment of the arts, but rather led to new forms of expression that were nevertheless conditioned by the legacies of earlier ...
