            Abstract
            The present book documents, analyzes and interprets the background and career as well as the works of Hermann Czech, probably the most important living architect and architectural theorist in Austria. An introductory section on Viennese Modernism is followed by a detailed narrative of Czech's childhood, youth, and training period, from which the architect's personal and professional development can be understood; an important element here is the - abstracted - form of speech and counter-speech by the architect and the author. An essay by the philosopher Elisabeth Nemeth is followed by the work section, in which more than thirty projects are presented in detail and placed in context; an extensive appendix completes the book.
             
            Das Buch dokumentiert, analysiert und interpretiert Hintergrund und Werdegang sowie Arbeiten von Hermann Czech, dem wohl wichtigsten lebenden Architekten und Architekturtheoretiker in Österreich. Einem Einleitungsteil zur Wiener Moderne folgt die detaillierte Darstellung der Kindheit, Jugend und Ausbildungszeit Czechs, aus der heraus die persönliche und berufliche Entwicklung des Architekten erst verständlich wird, ein wichtiges Element dabei ist die – abstrahierte – Form von Rede und Gegenrede des Architekten und der Autorin. Nach einem Essay der Philosophin Elisabeth Nemeth folgt der Werkteil, in dem mehr als dreißig Projekte ausführlich dargestellt und in Kontext gesetzt werden, ein umfangreicher Anhang vervollständigt das Buch.
