Overview

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
