Best of Austria : Architecture 2014_15

Since 2008, Austria’s national architecture museum Architekturzentrum Wien (Az W) has published Best of Austria, a biennial volume dedicated to the award-winning architecture developed in Austria or by Austrian architects. The latest edition once again brings together some 170 projects, from public buildings and spaces to offices, educational facilities, and single-family homes. Each entry includes full-color images and a floor plan, section, or elevation, as well as a brief description of the project. Rounding out the volume is a critical essay on contemporary Austrian architecture. All of the country’s major architectural prizes are accounted for in this large and well-illustrated book, making it a valuable up-to-date survey of contemporary architecture in Austria.

The Architekturzentrum Wien (Az W) is the national architecture museum of Austria and has gained international recognition for exhibitions showcasing twentieth- and twenty-first-century architecture and urban design.
