Discover the Carl Auböck III Exhibition at Architekturzentrum Wien: Design, Architecture, and Legacy in Vienna

This exhibition commemorates the centenary of Carl Auböck III's birth and the acquisition of his archive by the Architekturzentrum Wien. It explores his diverse oeuvre, spanning from everyday objects like cutlery to large-scale residential architecture and urban planning ideas, reflecting his innovative contributions to post-war Austrian design and architecture. The exhibition also offers insight into the museum's archival and collection activities.

Marking the hundredth anniversary of his birth and the acquisition of his archive by the Collection, this exhibition offers dual insights – into Carl Auböck III's oeuvre and into Az W's collection activity. Like a large-format archival box, the exhibition opens up, yielding material from Carl Auböck’s cosmopolitan life and work. In the early 1950s, having completed artisanal apprenticeships and received a degree in architecture, Auböck pursued postgraduate studies at MIT, becoming acquainted with proponents of international modernism. Upon his return to Vienna, the methods of serial prefabrication he learned in the United States influenced his residential architecture. His broad interpretation of architecture and design ranged from city planning ideas to construction of single-family homes and housing blocks, as well as the design of objects of daily use such as cutlery and skiwear, working with established firms to produce innovative products. The exhibitions subsumed in our Living Archive series provide a platform for collecting activities that are not just a matter of preservation, but also incorporate new approaches and methodologies.
