In Vienna, the circles of radical art and architecture were not distinct, and Hollein’s claim that \u003cem\u003e‘Everything is Architecture’\u003c\/em\u003e was symptomatic of this intermixing of creative practices. Austria's proximity to the so-called ‘Iron Curtain’ and its post-war history of four-power occupation gave a heightened sense of menace that emerged strongly in Viennese art in the Cold War era. Seen as a collective entity, Hans Hollein’s works across architecture, art, writing, exhibition design and publishing clearly require a more diverse, complex and culturally nuanced account of architectural Postmodernism than that offered by critics at the time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAcross the five chapters, Hollein's outputs are viewed not as individual projects, but as symptomatic of Austria's attempts to come to terms with its Nazi past and to establish a post-war identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47605977415916,"sku":"9780367502089","price":98.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780367502089-hans-hollein-and-postmodernism.jpg?v=1778144468"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/eva-branscome.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
