First monogpraph on the work and vision of Paris-based Parc architectes Features fifteen key designs in a cosmogonic story through technical and artistic illustrations and brief texts Highlights the architects’ approach to provide devices for the users’ participation in the construction of a human environment The work and vision of Parc architectes: designs and installations at the interface of art and science Founded in 2009, Paris-based Parc architectes has risen to prominence, winning awards and accolades in its native France and beyond. Just as important as its design work is Parc Architectes’s research on contemporary architecture and urbanism, laid out in the essay Le Parc Planetaire (The Planetary Park), published in the firm’s own journal, PRAGMA, and on its blog, CRAPZINE. This first book to focus on Parc architectes, Architecture as Environment features fifteen foundational designs by the firm, chosen to reflect the firm’s credo that the environment has to become a matter of architecture. At the interface of art and science, Parc architectes’s designs are installations rather than mere structures, enabling adequate responses to contextual and conceptual issues in the construction of contemporary human environments. In addition to brief essays, the book also includes some 150 illustrations, including many in full color.

First in-depth investigation of Allied forces’ policies in occupied Austria during the Cold War and their impact on the country’s architecture and building activity Shows how British, American, French, and Soviet cultural policies served as catalysts for their respective ideological convictions Lavishly illustrated with previously unpublished images, documents and plans from international archives Architecture as part of a global struggle of differing political systems: with its transnational perspective, this book changes our view of architectural history and postwar society Following the liberation and subsequent occupation of Austria at the end of World War II in spring 1945 by the victorious powers Britain, France, the United States, and the Soviet Union, Vienna soon became a central stage for the quickly emerging Cold War. The struggle of differing political systems was also carried out in the field of architecture. Cold War and Architecture sheds new light on the building activity in postwar Austria and its main protagonists. For the first time, this book explores the lines of architectural debates of the time in the context of the global political and cultural conflict of East vs. West. With its transnational perspective, it changes our view of architectural history and postwar society. During the ten-year occupation period, Austria experienced a transition from authoritarian government to democratic consumer society. Each of the four Allied powers established its own extensive cultural program. Architectural exhibitions became important instruments of such educational schemes with the objective of a new social order. British, American, French, and Soviet cultural policies thus served as catalysts for ideological convictions. Monika Platzer is a Curator and Head of Special Collection at Architekturzentrum Wien.
