MUNICH - VIENNA - GRAZ   (2005)

 

           

 

the goal: Vienna is an ideal place of combining nature and civilization. 30 minutes out of the city - and you can climb to the mountains and dive into the lakes! Walking along Vienna with an architectural guidebook and you are hiting on vanguard buildings! There is an important thing - only "human" architecture could be survival. The rest will over it's life on a dump. Hundertwasser's houses are charming - it's really human, alive architecture!

participants: A.Asadov, E.Lineva, O.Grigoreva, T.Konovalova, D.Kokanovich
