Author: eds. Christoph Thun-Hohenstein, Hermann Czech & Sebastian HackenschmidtThis revised edition of the catalogue for the 2015/16 exhibition at the MAK in Vienna is dedicated to Josef Frank, one of the most important Austrian architects of the 20th century. In addition to his groundbreaking architectural work, the catalogue focuses his design, which remains highly influential to this day. As an architect and designer, Frank remains contemporary, promoting a pragmatic approach to design that focused less on formal qualities and more on those of social experience.Frank's ideal of an unaffected and unpretentious practicality, aimed at an independent and sophisticated bourgeois culture of living beyond stylistic dogmas and fashionable conventions, seems more relevant than ever.
