Position 1 Josef Lackner Ideas should define our actions. Architecture expresses ideas – however, these are often absent, and one builds anyway. In this case the best idea would be not to build.[1] Josef Lackner's demands on architecture as well as on his contemporaries was marked by an uncompromising and consistent attitude. In his life and work everything revolved around the essential. Many of his buildings are statements on the theme of architecture, basic statements about the client's brief and the realized concepts. From this point of view, Lackner was a fundamentalist who with irony and aplomb strove in the face of the spirit of the times to address architecture itself and consciously swim against the current of the dominant aesthetics. In this way he also influenced many architects, both as an instructor and through his work. His buildings are characterized by their austere charm, subtle intelligence, and often symbolic presence. What he despised most was thoughtlessness and superficiality, he shunned fashion trends and by virtue of his individuality always challenged the system, whether that system was architecture or society.
