"The site of the former "Sternbrauerei" is close to Salzburg's Old Town. The salient feature is the vertical cliff, a relic of the quarry which provided stone for many of the town's baroque façades. 18 well-established architecture offices were invited to explore the potential of the site and to develop a vision for contemporary living in this singular topography. Here Christian Kühn, architectural theorist and journalist, analyses all the contributions submitted and places the project in the context of current urban strategies."--Page 4 of cover.

Parliaments are both representative assemblies of the people and monuments of political and national identity. This catalogue for the Austrian contribution to the 14th International Architecture Exhibition in Venice features 196 national parliaments of the world. It fans out a comparison of the various messages to be conveyed by the architecture of parliament buildings: perpetuity, conformity with historical precedents or the fervent manifestation of a new beginning. However, neatly ordered by name and presented in a homogeneous fashion, their monumentality is somewhat lessened. The cold light of analysis brings forward numerous formal similarities of buildings that serve completely different political regimes.
