LP Architektur / Architecture Bauten und Projekte / Buildings and Projects 2006–2014 Pages Approx. 280 Ills. 300 in color Format 22 × 26 cm Binding Hardcover Price Approx. € 48.63 | $ 69.99 | £ 40.99 ISBN 978-3-99043-562-5, German / English Available October 2013 Available in the US November 2013 Consistent – Human – Responsible – Sexy Monograph on a young Austrian architecture office from Salzburg 23 realized buildings Office structures, remodelling of existing historical buildings, single-family housing ... LP architektur has created a richly varied body of work in the ten years it has existed. The office’s breakthrough came at the 2006 Winter Oympics in Turin with the emblematic Austria House, in which Tom Lechner, the LP managing partner blended tradition with modernity. LP Architektur has won a number of Austrian architecture awards since then. In an area defined by turbotourism, the Salzburg office’s buildings have become beacons of regional identity that now reach beyond the borders of Salzburg. LP architektur sees its designs as psychograms that are the reflections of the individual desires and dreams of their clients. This selection of 23 buildings complements the works presented in the first monograph published in 2006 and shows how broad the spectrum of the architect’s work has become in the meantime.

Both volumes were gathered into one single volume and consolidated in terms of content, which permits the consideration of facades and roofs as envelopes. Using current examples by renowned architects, Watts presents the constructive and material-related details. This presentation is based on a text, photos, and standardized detail drawings, as well as 3D representations of the components. The new edition has 3D views that are easier to understand than the first edition, with sharper images and more key explanations.
