realizzazione: Architektur Zentrum Wien
The artist Walter Pichler has completed his first building not intended for either his own or his sculptures' use, a 38m2 one-room house for his brother-in-law. The position of the free-standing building relates directly to the old forge of his uncle's, the South Tyrolean blacksmith Eugen Pichler, situated directly on the road. "The house next to the forge is the result of memories, family relationships and a journey back in time, in a phrase: a rather sentimental undertaking." Walter Pichler On the basis of drawings and photographs in an almost 1:1 interpretation that analyse the geographic context and the thematic manifestation of the building, the exhibition provides the visitor with an insight into the spatial dimension of the house concerned and the intrinsic quality of the design. The project and its realisation is being presented to the public for the first time at the Architekturzentrum Wien, a condensed artistic interpretation that represents a programmatic message: at the Architekturzentrum Wien major artistic achievements in the field of architecture are seen as the measure of a broader culture of building.
