Cukrowicz Nachbaur Architekten

About

1992-2014
The first monograph on the work of this highly regarded practice, which continues the Vorarlberg building tradition in an exemplary and innovative manner.

The Vorarlberg architectural partnership of Andreas Cukrowicz and Anton Nachbaur, founded in 1996, became internationally known above all for the adaptation and new construction of the “vorarlberg museum” in Bregenz, completed in 2013, which stands out both for its urban and spatial stringency and for the emblematic façade, which they realised together with the artist Manfred Alois Mayr and the geometrical engineer Urs Beat Roth.
For the first time, the book offers an insight into Cukrowicz Nachbaur’s extensive oeuvre and presents their working method, which is committed to the commonplace. In accordance with a logbook, eight projects are presented through plans and texts by the architects as well as with pictures by Adolf Bereuter, who took new photographs of all the buildings. Numerous essays by renowned authors deal with the central themes of Cukrowicz Nachbaur, place them in the context of current discussions and thus open up unknown dimensions of the work of the two architects. The monograph is supplemented by a catalogue raisonné in which over 100 projects are documented in detail. (Text © Park Books)
