Karl Schwanzer - Spuren / Traces: Eine Bestandsaufnahme / A Pictorial Inventory

The extensive oeuvre of the architect Karl Schwanzer (1918-1975) is characterized by a near inexhaustible inventiveness as well as a love of the crafts and carefully selected materials. What remains of his work? What has disappeared? How does the fabric of buildings change over time?

Stefan Ol h has taken up the trail in search of the architect's work. As architectural photographer he captures current details of buildings--many years after their construction: close-ups serve to illustrate the architect's design approach. The precision of the large color photographs corresponds to Schwanzer's clever designs. The book is intended as a visual commentary on his creative designs, which include buildings and furniture.
