Context

The research conducted as part of the project has gathered a diverse potpourri of knowledge about Domenig, his buildings, his life and work in a wide variety of media. The aim of the online archive is to make this wealth of information easily and fully accessible for everyone. All media are treated equally and as originals – whether they are photos, texts, sketches or interviews. 
The Günther Domenig Archive is intended to keep growing and expanding continuously and is open to all. In this sense, the archive should also be seen as a platform without central organi­sation, giving everyone the oppor­tunity to browse and delve into the content according to their needs, or to obtain specific information.

Here you can find everything concerning Domenigs context – His lifetime, art and architecture – As well as dialogues, between Domenig and contemporary artists, the Grazer Schule, architecture photography or the medium of the drawing.

It does not just serve as a tool for finding and developing an architectural form –it is instead an independent means of expression committed to the medium itself. In this sense, drawing is on an equal level with Domenig’s architectu…

MONUMENTALITY, RESISTANCE, CONTRADICTION: ON GÜNTHER DOMENIG // Hans Ulrich Reck
