GÜNTHER DOMENIG: DIMENSIONAL: In Resonanz – in resonance – v resonanci

Günther Domenig died in 2012, having become internationally known for his iconic Steinhaus and the architecturally important Nazi Party Rally Grounds Documentation Center in Nuremberg. In Resonanz takes an unusual approach to his work, offering a view of the Carinthia-born architect’s oeuvre from the outside — one that stands apart from both the dominant perspectives on his work and from the norms of architecture books in general. The intimate picture series by photographer Gerhard Maurer comprises over thirty of the buildings designed by Günther Domenig and creates a dialogue with contemporary writer Anna Baar’s essayist approach to the architect’s work. The essays and photos capture the architecture in its current context and create space for contradictions, for lacunae, for the unusable— and for the beautiful.
