"2009 is Linz's year as European Capital of Culture. This calls for the creation of a new profile for the Upper Austrian provincial capital, which has shown a remarkable talent for reinventing itself in the recent past... In a visual dialogue with other cities 'Linz Texas' developes a both atmospheric and challenging reading of a medium-sized city which ventures far beyond the familiar methods of urban representation" -- from p. [4] of cover.

Photography and architecture have a long and intense relationship - and both are accompanied by debates about how, as disciplines, they hover somewhere between service and art form. The book examines how photos are used to digitally reproduce, inform about, and archive buildings. Moreover, it is dedicated to the concept of the use of a building being the visual content of architectural photography, and also questions how the photograph influences the constructed reality. What is the status of architectural photography today? For one, photographs provide mass media exposure for the buildings; however, the photographers' own attitude, interests, and style result in highly individual images of the built reality. They tell their own stories of the building, decide whether to capture it occupied or not, dynamic or naturalistic, with or without context, as a new building or in use. How does this photographic perspective affect the way in which buildings and their architects are perceived? Many architects collaborate for long periods of time with specific photographers. How much do photographs influence the actual design? Which photos serve to publicize the building, which lend a new perspective? In today's flood of images, where there is almost no difference between photographs and renderings, this publication refreshingly brings architectural photography to the fore while allowing a peek behind the scenes. In eight richly illustrated chapters, the relationship between architecture and photography is subjected to a changing view. The different positions enter into a fascinating dialog. Insights and visual beauty go hand in hand. With essays by: Angelika Fitz, Elke Krasny, Gabriele Lenz, and Philipp UrsprungWith photographs by Markus Bstieler, Peter Eder, Gisela Erlacher, Pez Hejduk, Eduard Hueber, Hertha Hurnaus, Markus Kaiser, Angelo Kaunat, Bruno Klomfar, Alexander Eugen Koller, Zita Oberwalder, Pia Odorizzi, Stefan Olah, Paul Ott, Lukas Schaller, Manfred Seidl, Margherita Spiluttini, Rupert Steiner, Dietmar Tollerian, Günter Wett Welchen Status hat die Architekturfotografie heute? Einerseits sorgen die Bilder für die massenhafte mediale Verbreitung von Bauwerken. Andererseits schaffen die Fotografinnen und Fotografen durch ihre Haltung, ihre Interessen und ihren Stil sehr individuelle Bilder dieser gebauten Wirklichkeit. Sie erzählen eigene Geschichten der Gebäude, entscheiden, ob sie diese belebt oder unbelebt in Szene setzen, inszeniert oder naturalistisch, mit oder ohne Kontext, als Neubau oder im Gebrauch. Welche Auswirkung hat dieser fotografische Blick auf die Vermittlung der Gebäude und ihrer Architekten? Viele Architekten verbindet eine langjährige Zusammenarbeit mit einzelnen Fotografen. Wie stark prägen mögliche Bilder schon den Entwurf? Welche Bilder schaffen Aufmerksamkeit, welche neue Blickwinkel? Gerade in Zeiten der Bilderflut, in der sich Fotos und Renderings scheinbar kaum mehr unterscheiden lassen, holt die Publikation den Beitrag der Architekturfotografie vor den Vorhang und ermöglicht gleichzeitig einen Blick hinter die Kulissen. In acht bildreichen Kapiteln werden die Beziehungen zwischen Architektur und Fotografie einem Sichtwechsel unterzogen. Die unterschiedlichen Positionen treten dabei in einen spannungsvollen Dialog. Erkenntnisgewinn und Schauvergnügen gehen Hand in Hand.

A rich exploration of the extraordinary life and work of celebrated architect Yasmeen Lari. After more than three decades as a renowned global architect, Yasmeen Lari, the first woman to open her own architecture firm in Pakistan in 1964, developed Zero Carbon Architecture, which unites ecological and social justice. This volume, edited by Angelika Fitz, Elke Krasny, and Marvi Mazhar, presents Lari's trajectory from exemplary modernist to zero carbon revolutionary, with a focus on her remarkable contributions to the global architectural movement to decarbonize and decolonize. The book includes extensive photographs, drawings, and plans from Lari's archive, most of which have not previously been shown or published. Lari's architectural thinking and activism have always gone beyond the quest for a singular built solution. Rather, she strategically plans systemic approaches and solutions, be it for housing, a heritage foundation, or zero-carbon shelters with communities at risk. Original essays from diverse international contributors contextualize Lari's work; investigate architecture and the postimperial, postcolonial, and postpartition condition; and examine the intersections of architecture and human rights, climate change, decolonization, gender, care, activism, and vernacular innovation. More than a tribute to Yasmeen Lari's extraordinary career, this volume brings her legacy forward and shows how to create change today.
