Review: This book (with text in German and English) is a collection of projects for open spaces by Boris Podrecca. Podrecca has worked as an architect of open spaces in many regions where the Romanic, Slavic and German cultural traditions intertwine and he has done a great deal of work in Central and Southern Europe. The book illustrates and discusses projects in European cities, such as Venice, Verona, Salzburg and Vienna. Podrecca believes in the liveliness of local architectural traditions and the continuing development of their forms and materials and adjustments to present-day needs. Werner Oechslin puts the work in a cultural-historic perspective.
