It’s a brick: the massive work catalogue of Austrian architect Wilhelm Holzbauer (1930-2019), edited by Lisbeth Waechter-Böhm and published by Springer in 2006. After studying at Akademie der Bildenden Künste in Vienna under Clemens Holzmeister, Holzbauer was a founding member of Arbeitsgruppe 4, one of the most influential architectural offices of postwar Austria. The book primarily focuses on the works and projects of Holzbauer and less on additional theoretical and historical contextualizations. The buildings speak for themselves (although there are short explanatory texts) by means of photos, drawings and plans which actually isn’t a downside: one can simply focus on a buildings’ genesis, the stylistic variations in Holzbauer’s oeuvre and follow more than 40 years of architectural production.

Stumbled across this the other day and remembered how much I enjoyed the read: the exhibition catalogue "Arbeitsgruppe 4. Wilhelm Holzbauer, Friedrich Kurrent, Johannes Spalt. 1950-1970", published alongside the eponymous exhibition at Architekturzentrum Wien by Müry Salzmann Verlag in 2010. As the book's title indicates Arbeitsgruppe 4 consisted of four young Austrian architects whose initial idea was to take part in competitions as a group since not every member in 1950 had yet finished his studies and was thus able to practice autonomously as architect. The publication is a perfectly executed collage of the team's two decade career that circles around the built work of the group but also focuses on its surroundings. A very interesting feature of the book is the reprint of four of the group's texts that were published in the Austrian periodical "der aufbau" between 1961 and 1963 with each text dealing with a particular building typology. A very thorough publication and a fitting tribute to the multifaceted work of a group of architects crucial for postwar Austrian architecture.
