Hans Hollein
An ABC

Hans Hollein is a universal artist. As an architect, designer, sculptor, object artist, exhibition designer and architectural theorist, he is amongst the most outstanding of his time. His 1967 program “Everything is architecture“ has until the present day remained the foundation of his work which one encounters around the world, and which articulates his cross-border thoughts on design, form and functionality. The international recognition he has constantly earned over decades was crowned by the Pritzker Architecture Prize in 1985. Hans Hollein has been the only Austrian architect to receive the award up to now.
