living rooms, Politik der Zugehörigkeiten im Wiener Gemeindebau

Statement of the jury

"This clearly structured and well-designed book sheds light on municipal building efforts in Vienna today and provides an overview of how the structure of the local population has changed down through the years.In doing so the book also references the original idea of municipal building as the democratic concept of creating “living space foreveryone”: with its typography. It is set exclusively in Arial and Times – the two fonts that are standard on every Windows computer and that for this reason are regarded as the typographic equivalent of the democratic idea of living. Appropriate."
