Still today, the Graz School counts among the most renowned phenomena of twentieth-century Austrian architecture. In contrast to former publications that have concentrated mostly on the expressive, deconstructivist language of form so characteristic of the Graz School, the publication architektur + analyse 1 places emphasis on the lesser known utopian designs and structuralist concepts of the 1960s as developed by architecture students at Graz University of Technology. Alongside analytical contributions, the volume contains numerous personal essays by protagonists of the time. The book features contributions by Peter Blundell Jones, Konrad Frey, Volker Giencke, Bettina Götz, Eugen Gross, Bernhard Hafner, Gabu Heindl, Eilfried Huth, Dörte Kuhlmann, Tomás Valena, and Manfred Wolff-Ploettegg, among others. The volume is the first of the book series "architektur + analyse", edited by Prof. Anselm Wagner, Institute of Architectural Theory, Art History and Cultural Studies.
