Fünf Kurzfilme: Baukultu(h)r am Land
Maier Vélez Olabarria und David Serrano Amatriain
Die fünf Filme der spanischen ArchitektInnen Maier Vélez Olabarria und David Serrano Amatriain lassen ausschließlich die Bauherren selbst über die Entstehungsgeschichte und die Zusammenarbeit mit den ArchitektInnen zu Wort kommen.
VENUSGARTEN HAUS
The Venusgarten Haus, with its delightful wooden construction, is an example of respectful relation with the traditional architectures of the surroundings from a clear contemporary attitude. The sensitive preservation of part of the preexisting building and the communication between old an new made architecture talk about the relation of a son with his mother.
Case study Venusgarten Haus, with an interview to Stefan Schauer, owner, talking about his house in Willendorf, designed by Volker Dienst in cooperation with Christoph Feldbacher.
MALAT HOTEL
Malat hotel is an interesting example of the relation between architecture, wine and tourism in the Wachau valley. The project integrates an old building and reuses some materials that already were there. The new courtyard, based on the preexisting one, is opened to the beautiful vineyard landscape that now seems to be part of the hotel.
Case study Malat hotel, with an interview to Michael Malat, owner, talking about his hotel in Palt, designed by Tm architektur.
STIFT HERZOGENBURG
The Herzogenburg Monastery is a great example of Baroque and Classicist architecture. In this strong traditional context the Osterkapelle, a new chapel built on 1999, uses the modern architectural and artistic language to transmit the religious message in a poetic way, playing with few and simple elements.
Case study Osterkapelle in Stift Herzogenburg, with an interview to Provost Maximiliam Fürnsinn, talking about the Easter Chapel, designed by Ernst Beneder and Anja Fischer.
MINORITENPLATZ
Minoritenplatz is an example of transformation of an old church and monastery into a cultural centre in a small town where the culture, in all its forms, is a very important manifestation of their identity.
Case study Minoritenplatz, with an interview to Jo Aichinger, artistic director of the Lower Austrian Festival, talking about cultural facilities existing in Krems and about Minoritenplatz cultural complex designed by Fritz Göbl and Reinhardt Gallister and Fritz Göbl, Lukas Göbl and Alexander Bolecek.
MARKTGEMEINDEAMT OTTENSHEIM
The need of a new Town hall, and the commitment to keep it in the town’s core is the beginning of a new citizens’ candidature to election. The idea of revitalizing the town center extends to other projects where participation of citizens in the design process plays a decisive role.
Case study Marktgemeindeamt Ottensheim, with an interview to Uli Böker, mayor, talking about city projects and the Town hall building project by SUE Architekten.
