Beyond Buildings: Hans Hollein's Vision for Architectural Liberation

Hans Hollein, an Austrian architect and thinker, challenged conventional notions of architecture in his manifesto, urging architects to transcend the limitations of traditional building-centric thinking. He proposed a radical departure from the idea of architecture solely as the creation of physical shelters. Instead, he envisioned a new realm of design where the focus shifted from bricks and mortar to the creation of individualized environments that catered to human needs and desires.

In Hollein's vision, architects would break free from the constraints imposed by the necessity for physical shelter. This liberation from the traditional notion of buildings would open up a vast expanse of creative possibilities. No longer bound by the confines of walls and roofs, architects could explore realms previously untouched – the realm of the non-physical environment.

This non-physical environment, as Hollein envisioned it, would not be limited by the constraints of the material world. It could encompass virtual spaces, augmented realities, and conceptual landscapes. These environments would exist beyond the tangible, inviting individuals to engage with them on a deeper, more immersive level.

Central to Hollein's manifesto was the idea that humans should be at the heart of architectural design. Rather than creating generic, one-size-fits-all structures, architects should focus on crafting environments tailored to the unique needs and preferences of individuals. This emphasis on the individual would usher in a new era of architecture, where personalization and customization reign supreme.

In essence, Hollein's manifesto called for a paradigm shift in architecture – a shift from the physical to the experiential, from the tangible to the intangible. By embracing the concept of the non-physical environment and placing humans at the centre of design, architects could unlock new realms of creativity and innovation, shaping environments that resonate deeply with the human experience.

Ter voorbereiding van de tweede les, waarin we onze eerste trage kopie moesten voorstellen, zijn Margot en ik aan de slag gegaan met het beeld van Hans Hollein 'Austriennale and sunglass'. Nog niet helemaal zeker over wat de bedoeling juist was, zijn we op zoek gegaan naar magazines.

We hebben een portret uit een magazine gehaald en deze zwart-wit gekopiëerd. Vervolgens knipten we uit rood papier de vorm van de bekende en eigenaardige bril. Dit kopieerden we nogmaals en later hebben we het logo van het Bau magazine toegevoegd en het grondplan van de Austriennale.

Een deel van ons proces zie je hieronder:

BACK IN THE BOOKSHOP: MEMPHIS : RESEARCH, EXPERIENCES, RESULTS, FAILURES AND SUCCESSES OF NEW DESIGN (1985) • First 1985 printing of the UK hardcover edition of "MEMPHIS: Research, Experiences, Results, Failures and Successes of New Design", by Barbara Radice - arguably the greatest reference book on the work of the Italian Design group Memphis. • Written by Radice, a founding member of the Memphis group (and author of "Ettore Sottsass: A Critical Biography"), and documenting in stunning photography and reproduction the vast array of design work that this group produced across furniture, lighting, interiors, architecture, textiles, glassware, etc., this really feels like THE official Memphis book, embodying their spirit and design aesthetic in book form. • Founded in 1981, the international group of architects and designers, Memphis, shook the design world to its foundations. Based in Italy and led by Ettore Sottsass, it overturned and re-shaped the pre-suppositions on which the production of so-called Modern Design is based. It became the almost mythical symbol of the New Design. Laughing out loud at our culture and at itself, Memphis pulled out all stops when it came to colour, pattern, decoration and ornamentation. It sets out to contribute to the continuing dialogue on pop culture, the avant-garde and design. • This book features the work of Ettore Sottsass, George Sowden, Masanori Umeda, Shiro Kuramata, Nathalie Du Pasquier, Peter Shire, Michele de Lucchi, Matteo Thun, Alessandro Mendini, Andrea Branzi, Gerard Taylor, Michael Graves, Aldo Cibic, George James Sowden, Arquitectonica, Hans Hollein, Marco Zanini, Javier Mariscal, Thomas Bley, Martine Bedin, etc. • Via our website and in the bookshop tomorrow. • #worldfoodbooks #memphismilano #AldoCibic #AlessandroMendini #AndreaBranzi #EttoreSottsass #GeorgeSowden #GerardTaylor #HansHollein #JavierMariscal #MarcoZanini #MartineBedin #MasanoriUmeda #MatteoThun #MichaelGraves #MicheledeLucchi #NathalieDuPasquier #PeterShire #ShiroKuramata #ThomasBley (at WORLD FOOD BOOKS)

Architectural Journeys: Hans Hollein's Jewellery as Portals of Imagination

Hans Hollein's jewellery, characterized by motifs like the palm, draws inspiration from various sources, including his architectural projects and the influences of ancient jewellery art, particularly Egyptian and Native Indian designs. The palm motif, recurrent in his works, symbolizes vitality, growth, and exoticism, echoing the lush landscapes of distant lands and the allure of travel.

In Hollein's architectural endeavour's, such as the Austrian Travel Agency in Vienna, the incorporation of symbolic elements like palm trees transforms the space into a portal for imagination and exploration. The agency's lobby, envisioned as a palm forest, invites visitors to embark on a journey of the mind, transcending physical boundaries to explore distant realms and cultures.

The collaboration between Hollein and Italian designer Munari further blurs the boundaries between architecture and jewellery design. Munari's philosophy of cross-disciplinary collaboration, as expressed in his quote about having poets design tables and architects design spoons, aligns with Hollein's approach to architectural storytelling through jewellery.

By infusing his jewellery with themes of erotic ritual and drawing inspiration from ancient jewellery traditions, Hollein imbues his creations with layers of meaning and symbolism. Each piece becomes a conduit for the imagination, inviting wearers to embark on a symbolic journey through time and culture.

Ultimately, Hollein's jewellery transcends mere adornment, becoming a form of architectural analysis in its own right. Through his collaboration with Munari and his exploration of ancient jewellery forms, Hollein expands the boundaries of architectural storytelling, creating wearable art that transports the mind to distant lands and cultures.

Sugar bowl, from a Coffee and Tea Service, Hans Hollein, 1981-1983, Minneapolis Institute of Art: Decorative Arts, Textiles and Sculpture

sugar bowl with cover; tray is designed to resemble an aircraft carrier with a large landing strip sanded into its surface In 1981, Hans Hollein was one of eleven internationally-recognized architect-designers invited to design a tea and coffee piazza, as part of a special project undertaken by the well-known Italian design firm Alessi. The use of an architectural term for a functional object reinforces the Postmodern sense of architectural spacial arrangement given to familiar forms. Hollein chose an aircraft carrier to define the placement of his tea service components. The services were produced in editions of ninety-nine. Other architects who participated in the project included American Michael Graves and Italian Alessandro Mendini, who were both very active in the Postmodern movement of the 1980s. Size: 4 x 4 3/4 x 4 3/4 in. (10.16 x 12.07 x 12.07 cm) Medium: Silver, blue methacrylate
