Ernst Giselbrecht : Architekturen = architectures

Ernst Giselbrecht is considered one of the leading figures of the Graz school, creating buildings as dissimilar as the RSB office building in Fussach (Vorarlberg) and the elementary schools in St Peter ob Judenburg (Styria). Other works by Giselbrecht include: the seat of the Karnten doctors' association in Klagenfurt, border posts in Lower Austria, various apartment houses, and the Technical Institute for Mechanical Engineering and Automation Technology in Kaindorf. The characteristics of Gislebrecht's work are a factual design, autonomy and readability of the constructive parts, and an unpretentious use of contemporary technology. This book offers a selection of 12 buildings and projects whose aesthetic effects and construction are examined in detail.
