The
Unknown

The “Unknown” section contains works by Günther Domenig that stand at the beginning of his career as an architect, which are primarily in the area of private residential construction or of smaller dimensions, yet already challenge conventions in architecture through their gesture and statement. This is also where biographical information can be found, as the background for Domenig’s understanding of architecture.

Haus Eigner I, Neunkirchen, 1969
HAUS EIGNER I, NEUNKIRCHEN, 1969 GÜNTHER DOMENIG The Eigner House in Neunkirchen is a very early building by Günther Domenig, built parallel to the Pädagogische Akademie in Graz-Eggenberg and therefore characterized by the same architectural language.
