Before Architecture. Vor der Architektur. Position 1: Josef Lackner Selected built works show the development of architecture as a result of consistently applied conceptual logic. Position 2: PAUHOF architekten Their programmatic approach makes it clear that architecture is not the mere provision of a service but instead must contribute long-term added value to society. Position 3: Residential Building as Motivation Werner Sewing (architectural theorist) explores the Austrian situation and interviews architects who do not focus primarily on residential buildings. An international conference on the subject of residential building will be held at the Austrian Pavilion in Venice from October 3 to 4, 2008.
