註釋The buildings and projects created by Austrian architects, Laurids and Manfred Ortner, over the last 30 years form the very basis for this primer of architecture which is simultaneously the first comprehensive documentation of their work. In the form of a glossary, headwords provide the framework for textual interpretation and visual illustration of all aspects of the architects' work. This rather unconventional approach has produced a publication which has not just documentary value for Ortner & Ortner's architectural language but is also a reflection on the topic of building as art in a more widely applicable context. The contrasting perspectives of the authors provide a stimulating analysis of an architectural oeuvre which ranks among the most enigmatic in contemporary architecture.
