Resident Alien: Austrian Architects in America

The Austrian Cultural Forum of New York’s Resident Alien exhibition explores the cultural contributions of modern to contemporary migrant Austrian American architects in the midst of their design careers. Framed into distinct forms referencing categories from Cloud Structures, Aggregate Self-assemblies, Media Atmospheres, Primitive Domains, to Urban Terrestrials, the exhibition investigates the concept of bicultural heritage constructed in spaces of the in-between alongside other formal, technological, atmospheric, and psychoanalytic architectural dialogues. Resident Alien highlights the significant impact of Austrian architects on modern, postmodern, deconstructivist, digital, and post-digital design culture over the past century.
