True to the original in measure, PETER SOMMERAUER (*1966) reconstructs a detail of a single-storey shack-like building of the Viennese Werkbund-Siedlung (architect: Hugo Häring , 1882–1958) built in the early 1930s and destroyed in 1945. In addition to the walkable model-like structure, the architecture and the context of the building disclose themselves through views of details, cracks, and 3-D renderings.
