These are images of illusory worlds in which the bodies of the performers are reflected, conceived?perhaps?as counterworlds, arƯtificial paradises, utopian landscapes, synchronized in a temporality that incessantly splits the present into feedback loops, and which in this publication ?Shiny Shiny,? thus capture the very moment that is fundamental to the art of the Austrian performance company Liquid Loft. The picturesque photographic images, shot during the choreographic production work, serve to further underscore the original hallƯmark of their work.00Authors from the disciplines of dance, theatre, film, music and architecture have been invited to engage associatively in their texts with Liquid Loft?s universe of ideas and, in that sense, to expand the view of contemporary dance.

A portrait of larger-than-life Austrian architect Hans Hollein. Hans Hollein (1934-2014), Austria's only Pritzker Prize laureate and a self-proclaimed avant-gardist of the 1960s, was a meticulous curator of his own work throughout his life. At the same time, the reception of this work was often overshadowed by Hollein's immense personality. Hollein Calling: Architectural Dialogues explores the Hollein phenomenon from a contemporary perspective. In dialogue with the positions of a younger generation, this book revaluates and brings back into the current discourse Hollein's thinking and designs. The first part offers interviews with fifteen European firms in which they talk about their relationship to Hollein and his oeuvre, ranging from profound knowledge or selective admiration of specific aspects to skepticism and criticism. Topics such as cultural identity, visual worlds, design tools, and architecture as an independent cultural production run as a thread through these conversations. The second part features a selection of Hollein's buildings through sketches, models, photographs, prototypes, and documents from the Archive Hans Hollein, Az W and MAK, Vienna--many of which are published here for the first time--as well as new contextualizing texts. The two sections are connected by a grid of key terms formed from pertinent texts and images.

Diese Baumonografie stellt ein spannendes zeitgenössisches Wohnbauensemble auf dem ehemaligen Gleisbereich beim Wiener Nordbahnhof vor. Die jüngst vollendete Überbauung ist das Resultat einer internationalen Zusammenarbeit dreier Büros: Architekt Werner Neuwirth (Wien), von Ballmoos Krucker Architekten (Zürich) und Sergison Bates Architects (London). Auftraggeber ist die Gemeinnützige Bau-, Wohn- und Siedlungsgenossenschaft Neues Leben. Das Ensemble besteht aus drei Gebäuden mit einem Gesamtvolumen von rund neunzig Wohnungen. Sie verkörpern drei starke individuelle Architekturkulturen, jede mit einem eigenen Ansatz zum zeitgenössischen städtischen Wohnbau. Die drei Häuser stehen in einem komplexen Bezug zueinander, wodurch auch der öffentliche Grund zwischen ihnen zu einem markanten Teil des Projekts wird.
