I oA SQUARE
In
course of the Seminar "
Other Matter" by Valerie Messini and
Bence Pap we are inviting everybody for an open lecture on the Austrian Architect Günther Domenig, presented by Prof. Matthias
Boeckl.
Günther Domenig (6 July 1934 – 15 June
2012) was an Austrian architect. Domenig was born in Klagenfurt, and studied architecture at the Graz University of Technology.
After working as an architectural assistant, he set up in practice with Eilfried Huth, producing buildings in a brutalist
vein. Domenig's first internationally acclaimed completed work was the Z-Bank in Vienna, which signalled a much more expressionistic,
counter-modernist aesthetic. He is also known for his own concrete home, the Steinhaus at Lake Ossiach, on which he worked
for more than 30 years. In addition to his practice, Domenig became a professor at the Graz University of Technology in 1980.
He died at the age of 77 in Graz.
