Presentation of the Reedition of Fischer von Erlach´s "Entwurff einer historischen Architectur"

Upon the third centenary of the author’s death in 1723 this re-print proposes to look back at Fischer’s book as a precise cultural project, reacting to a specific historical and geographical context, and yet suggesting a more general attitude that can challenge contemporary architecture as well. The volume is accompanied by a complete translation of the original texts and complemented with essays by Maarten Delbeke, Steven Lauritano and Pier Paolo Tamburelli.

The presentation will take place on Wednesday 20th December 2023 at the Prunksaal of the Austrian National Library, Josefsplatz 1, at 18.30h,
within an introduction by Jens Schneider- Rector TU Wien, Tina Gregoric, Pier Paolo Tamburelli, Maarten Delbeke, Andreas Nierhaus and a lecture of Hermann Czech.
