Frank r. Werner (ed.)
For decades, buildings by the team of graz-based
architects Szyszkowitz + kowalski have graced con-
temporary architecture with their vital, unmistakeable
formal language and their new building typologies
untrammelled by closed systems. the architects’
œuvre enjoys world-wide recognition and has done
this monographic publication deals with buildings and projects dating from 1994–2010, but
also includes older seminal works. analytical essays by Frank r. Werner on topics including nar-
rative, layers, transformation, translocation, dynamics, resistance, congruence, landscape and add-
ed value explain the design strategies behind the works. the publication reflects the architects’
own memorable style and humanity, and also includes several opulent series of images, short
descriptions of the objects, a chapter on unrealised competition entries, and an index of works.
it is no coincidence that buildings by karla kowalski and michael Szyszkowitz are among the
most outstanding achievements in contemporary architecture, independent of debates about
style or local reference.
