Waar gaat het over?

Born in 1947, Volker Giencke belongs to a generation of international avant-garde architects born around or after 1945. From the very beginning, his architecture was original and stood independent of the fashions of the time: this is reflected in the arrangement of the projects in this book, which likewise does not follow any particular chronological order. His is a passionate architecture which turns its back on purism and arbitrariness, calling instead for a more complex portrayal of clarity and new surfaces as views. Independent of the task in hand, Giencke develops a fascinating spatial and formational subtlety, the essential trademark of his work. For instance his Greenhouses in the University of Graz Botanical Gardens are the only public high-tech buildings in Austria: more remarkable, however, is the external and internal spatial composition of the buildings, which are reminiscent of grounded airships. Volker Giencke considers the drawings and sketches which form a major part of this book as a cross-section cut into the project, a way of following the shaping of his thoughts.
