This critical dictionary introduces approximately seventy terms from architectural theory in short, clear, and accessible essays. The entries cover contemporary concepts such as agency, Baukultur, and right-wing spaces, alongside foundational notions such as architecture, function, and space, as well as slogans such as "form follows function," "less is more," and "fifteen-minute city." Each explains the history of the term, critically situating it within its theoretical context and examining its underlying ideologies. Numerous cross-references, references to further literature, and a comprehensive index make this volume an essential and engaging resource. A new standard reference work for architectural theory—suitable for students and architects Provides foundational knowledge for critically evaluating architectural discourse Marks the first volume after the redesign of the architektur + analyse series

As an alternative to the standard mass housing construction of the postwar years, an independent typology developed in in the 1970s in Styrian social housing construction. Up to the beginning of the 1990s, it was a combination of reformist politicians, visionary officials, and architects and clients willing to experiment who produced the Modell Steiermark (or "Styria model") housing construction that drew widespread international attention. Planned participatively together with future residents, the projects bear witness to both the distinctive individualism and the community spirit of the Graz School. Andrea Jany’s monograph recounts, for the first time, the historical-social development of the Styria model, while presenting twenty-eight housing projects and evaluating them according to a residential satisfaction survey from the point of view of present-day users.

For the 75th anniversary of Austria's liberation from the Nazi regime, teachers and students at the Institute of Architectural Theory, Art History and Cultural Studies at Graz University of Technology spent a semester conducting intensive research on the history of resistance to National Socialism in Styria. Employing tools of forensic architecture, four selected case studies—in Deutschlandsberg, Leoben, Eisenerz and Graz—form the starting point of the extensive research. The new insights based on the results of the archive inquiries were presented in an exhibition in public spaces of each city in the summer of 2020, including 3D visualizations, plan representations, diagrams and graphs. The publication at hand documenting the four exhibitions compiles research and design results, alongside with contributions by relevant scholars who categorize and contextualize the case studies within national and international academic discourse. With contributions by Janika Döhr, Lisa-Marie Dorfleitner, Ema Drnda, Florian Eichelberger, Christian Fleck, Flora Flucher, Max Frühwirt, Daniel Gethmann, Nicole- Melanie Goll, Heimo Halbrainer, Georg Hoffmann, Matthias Hölbling, Thomas Hönigmann, Waltraud P.
