soviet modernism 1955 - 1991: unknown stories explores the architecture of the non-russian soviet republics completed between the late 1950s & the end of the USSR in 1991. while constructivism & stalinist architecture have largely been included in western architecture history, the soviet modern architecture of the second half of the 20th century have remained practically unknown to date. working in collaboration with local experts & architects, a research group at the architekturzentrum wien has pursued the specialities in the architecture of the period & its 'stories'.  interviews conducted with eyewitnesses of the time have been documented in writing. time is running out as the poor construction techniques of these rapidly aging buildings is threatening their existence. the exhibition runs through 25 february, 2013 at the architekturzentrum wien - old hall & is curated by katharina ritter, ekaterina shapiro-obermair & alexandra wachter.

*Press Preview* 'Cold War and Architecture. Contributions to Austria’s Democratization after 1945' @architekturzentrum_wien After the liberation of Austria in spring 1945 and the occupation by the four victorious powers of Great Britain, France, USA, and the Soviet Union, Vienna became a central stage for the Cold War. The Exhibition highlights building activity in postwar Austria, as well as its protagonists and debates for the first time in the context of the global East-West conflict. Each of the Allies established an extensive cultural program. Architectural exhibitions became important instruments of an “educational program” for a new social order. Divided into four zones, the exhibition traces the cultural self-representation of the Allies, complemented by the consideration of two transnational networks of modernism: CIAM Austria and the International Summer Seminar (today European Forum Alpbach).

*Press conference' Hans Hollein unpacked: The Haas-Haus' @architekturzentrum_wien Even before and during its construction the Haas-Haus directly opposite St. Stephen's Cathedral caused many a controversy. On the occasion of Hans Hollein’s (1934-2014) 85th birthday @architekturzentrum_wien opens up his archives and offers insight into the conception of what is probably his most famous Viennese building. Initially commissioned as a conversion study, a new building, completed in 1990, proved more cost-effective. A diversity of models and drawings show the genesis of the project considering urban analysis, extensive studies for the façade and atrium as well as the lettering and the colour of the site fencing. The abundance of preserved material provides an insight into the work process at Atelier Hollein. Discarded ideas, alternatives, different approaches, the references and the metaphors are revealed with a depth never shown before. Press reports document the at times intense debate. In 2002 the five-storey atrium was removed while the building’s external appearance was retained. The Haas-Haus has been a listed building since 2012.

The exhibition ‘Critical Care’ @architekturzentrum_wien is an appeal for a new approach, for a caring architecture and urbanism. 21 current examples from Asia, Africa, Europe, the Caribbean, the USA and Latin America prove that architecture and urban development do not have to be subservient to the dictates of capital and the exploitation of resources and labour. The exhibition 'Critical Care' shows how architecture and urbanism can contribute to repairing the future and keeping the planet and its inhabitants alive.
