Hermann Czech ranks among Austria’s most renowned architects. His multifaceted work combines theory and practice and ranges from urban planning via residential, school, and hotel buildings to small-scale interventions and exhibition architecture. Czech’s approach is based on systematic planning decisions that at the same time welcome the unexpected and the everyday. In 2024, the Viennese exhibition Hermann Czech – Ungefähre Hauptrichtung addressed this multilayered approach to design with a diverse selection of projects.
The HDA – Haus der Architektur presents a revised show for Graz that focuses on Czech’s theoretical work. In the 1960s, Graz’s trinational trigon biennial provided an important space to the Austrian and international avant-garde for ideas to crystallize. The exhibition shows Czech’s critical engagement with the architectural trends of the time as well as his (rejected) proposal for the trigon 69 exhibition and his competition entry for the unrealized trigon Museum.
