Ever since founding their firm in 1987, Götz and Manahl have contributed significantly to architectural discourse in Austria and abroad. Housing, a typology fundamentally shaping the city, is the core of their work.
This manifesto-like book introduces the reader to the thinking and visions of ARTEC Architekten. It features a vast selection of projects, built and unrealized ones, through images and floor plans and sections, alongside six programmatic essays by Götz and Manahl. The book’s design demonstrates visually what the texts elaborate upon in theory: their attitude to architecture’s core topics, their design methods, and their ongoing engagement with history and present of habitation.
