ABSTRACT
Austrian radical architect Hans Hollein (1968) proclaimed “Alles ist Architektur” (Everything is architecture). Published originally as a manifesto that appeared in the journal Bau, this provocation reflected a heightened awareness of the limitations of traditional definitions of architecture in favour of an understanding of design as an experimental vehicle for the construction of new forms of communication. Beyond building, Hollein stated,
A true architecture of our time will have to redefine itself and expand its means. Many areas outside of traditional building will enter the realm of architecture, as architecture and ‘architects’ will have to enter new fields. All are architects. Everything is architecture.
