Summary: "The Austrian architect Raimund Abraham, born 1933 in Tyrol, Austria, lived, worked and taught in the USA from 1964 to 2010. The book is an updated edition and contains the complete work of the architect Raimund Abraham. It has a three-part structure: 1) imaginary architecture, 2) projects, 3) realizations. Texts are by Raimund Abraham, Kenneth Frampton, John Hejduk, Eric Owen Moss, Wolf D. Prix, Wieland Schmied and Lebbeus Woods. With an introductory essay by Norbert Miller. The drawing of architecture occupies a central position in the evolution of his work but challenges the predominant notion of built architecture. Drawing demands an autonomous reality, manifestation of his architectural concept. The book also contains his latest realized projects as there are the ACFNY (Austrian Cultural Forum New York), his own house in Mexico and the House for Musicians at the Museumsinsel Hombroich (Germany), which will be completed in 2013."--Publisher's website.
