The objectives of the video course are to offer an overview of current issues in contemporary architecture and to outline the fundamental ideas of the current discourse.

This course examines recent developments in contemporary architecture with particular emphasis on the Austrian architecture scene in the international context and on the issue of how the architectural discourse is constructed.  Several successful architects, some young and some young at heart, who stem from various areas of the architectural profession, discuss and convey their ideas and their work.
