Concept and Design — 3

A comprehensive catalog of diploma theses at the Vienna University of Technology, produced in the period 2017–2020 under the supervision and in honor of András Pálffy’s last projects. The publication is set exclusively in Delphia and varies in detail only in the weight of the typeface. A very fitting typographic concept, elaborated for the strictly conceptual, architectural approach of the course. From the publisher:

A precise view of the architectural environment, the social context, and the geographical conditions was assumed throughout for the projects presented in the third volume of the Concept and Design series edited by András Pálffy. The destinations of these projects, richly documented here, were: the campus of the Bauhaus University in Weimar, the “Hofhaus” concept in its variants, the Vienna Secession, the Hafenmuseum in Hamburg, the old port of Trieste, and the revitalization of agricultural structures in the Goričko area in Slovenia.

András Pálffy is emeritus head of the Institute of Architecture and Design at the Vienna University of Technology and former head of the Department of Design Theory and Design.
