Book Ilka Ruby, Andreas Ruby, Of People and Houses Architecture from Styria, Haus der Architektur Graz, Graz 2009.
Instead of celebrating architecture objects from the perspective of the self-congratulating architecture culture, editors have chosen to document in text, drawings and photography how the use environment and its users see and experience the buildings. The book documents interviews with passers-by, politicians, inhabitants and architects, all photo’s are made by one photographer (Livia Corona from Mexico/New York). In the photo’s we see the larger context of Styria and several possibilities of use are staged in a modest manner. In the technical drawings we see the use returning in specially made line drawings (for each project the same technique of documentation).
