Additional biography

Hollein is one of the pioneers of contemporary architecture, which to him “is ritual and preservation of body temperature”. This extended concept of architecture also informs his work in installations, drawings, and design. In the legendary series of photo montages Transformations (1963-68), he integrated objects ranging from an aircraft carrier to a car grill as architectural elements in cityscapes and landscapes. Minimal Environment (1965), a project for the Paris Biennial, enables living in the most restricted of spaces, yet in global communication. He developed the concept of architecture as the production of emotional and physical impressions in the Architecture Pill, an element of the Non-physical Environmental Control Kit (1967), and in Svobodair (1968), an environment control spray. In the television series “The Austrian Portrait”, Hollein presented his Mobile Office (1969), a pneumatic room conceived as a transportable studio in a suitcase. Among his best-known buildings are candle-shop Retti (Vienna, 1965) Abteiberg, Municipal Museum (Mönchengladbach, 1972-82), Frankfurt Museum of Modern Art (1983-91), Haas building (Vienna, 1985-90), Vulcania museum (France, 1994-97) and Generali /Media Tower (Vienna 1994-2001). The Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris dedicated an exhibition to him in 1987 called Métaphores et Métamorphoses. It was also shown at the Museum of 20th Century in Vienna and the Berlin National Gallery. In 1995 Hollein gave an insight into his work at the Historical Museum of the City of Vienna.
