In the early years of COOP HIMMELB(L)AU, Raimund Abraham was a role model - later on a friend. On the occasion of the Austrian government "Staatspreis" awarded to Raimund Abraham, Wolf D. Prix held the speech of honor, and characterized him as one of the main representatives of the Austrian architectural approach of celebrating space. In his upcoming SCI-Arc lecture, Prix will explain Abraham's influence on the early works of COOP HIMMELB(L)AU as well as references to the recent international and well-known buildings. How would visionaries like Abraham and Le Corbusier have developed and expressed themselves in today’s digital time? How would digital tools have influenced their designs? Prix refers to the complexity and chances of open systems – systems that incorporate the opportunities for failures and turn them into evolutionary advantages. A red dot on a butterfly’s wing as an example in nature for a random mistake becoming a key to progress.
