About this Item

Riegler Riewe Architects is among the most distinguished and internationally renowned Austrian architectural firms with branches in Berlin and Katowice, Poland. Since establishing the firm in Graz in 1987, Florian Riegler and Roger Riewe have been rejecting the mere pictorial with striking continuity and consistency. Riegler Riewe focus on use-orientated, yet still usage-neutral spatial structures and aim for an inquiring, "undesigned", yet precise and subtle architecture. This position is evident in their buildings that embody both the "common" and the ambiguous and offer latitude rather than rigid form at all scales, in floor plan as well as in urban planning.The new monograph Riegler Riewe - 10 Years 20 Projects presents twenty built and unrealised projects between 2004 and 2014, most of them published here for the first time. Richly illustrated with images and plans, the book features essays by internationally renowned authors analysing Riegler Riewe's work in the contexts of both architecture and urbanism.

About this title

Synopsis

Florian Riegler and Roger Riewe founded the architectural firm Riegler Riewe in Graz in 1987. In the more than twenty-five years since, it has grown to become one of the most distinguished and internationally renowned Austrian architectural firms, with branches in Berlin and Katowice. The firm designs and builds with a focus primarily on the use to which a building will be put―but they are careful to nonetheless keep the actual spaces and presentation of their buildings neutral.
            This new book offers an in-depth look at the work of Riegler Riewe, presenting close looks at buildings and projects from the past ten years, built on a number of rarely seen images and plans and supplemented by essays analyzing the work in the contexts of both architecture and urban planning.
