The town center in St. Martin am Techelsberg in the current issue 6.2022 of the magazine architektur.aktuell

Description

CAN ARCHITECTURE STRENGTHEN DEMOCRACY?

“Transparent and objective. In contrast to the village square in Gert Jonke‘s debut „Geometric Heimatroman“, the appearance of the new center does not depict social hierarchies or strictly formulated attitudes and actions, but rather a well-dimensioned square - also in relation to the modest height of the enclosed building corresponds to democratic ideas. ... Here bureaucratic and legal arbitrariness is made more difficult architecturally, since the people‘s representatives meet in front of the public, but also never lose sight of the community when carrying out their activities.“

Ulrich Tragatschnig about the town center in St. Martin am Techelsberg in the current issue 6.2022 of the magazine architektur.aktuell entitled Generic Durability | stone, brick, concrete.
