Linz as Seen by Architectural Critics
Bart Lootsma
The last newsletter included an item about “Linz Status Quo,” a Linz09 project that’s inviting internationally renowned architectural critics to evaluate the current state of architecture and urban planning in Linz. Now, the event dates have been finalised.
The guest critics are Shumon Basar (London), Angelika Schell (Innsbruck/Berlin) and Roemer von Toorn (Amsterdam). All three will formulate their points of view in essays. To kick off this project, they’ll be publicly briefed by local experts all of whom have many years of experience with urban development processes in Linz.Saturday, 9th February 2008, 12 Noon to 5 p.m.
