Summary:
The depiction of architecture through language: few contemporary architects have pursued this issue so pointedly and steadfastly as Wolf D. "Prix of the Vienna studio Coop Himmelb(l)au. Texts play a prominent role in the award-winning architectural office's creative output. Get off of my cloud" gathers together the first representative selection of writings including programmatic contributions, aphorisms, interviews, polemics, speeches, and lectures. The texts, written in the time from 1968 to 2005, open a multitude of insights into the theoretical and artistic content of the expansive work of Coop Himmelb(l)au. They likewise illuminate the work of other architects and pose provocative questions for architecture, art, and politics.

Summary:
As a critic, stalwart nonconformist and champion of utopian architecture, Austrian architect Raimund Abraham (1933-2010) made one of the most significant contributions to contemporary architecture in 2002, with the construction of the Austrian Cultural Forum Building in New York. Following his tragic death in 2010, that year's Vienna Architecture Conference was held in his honor. This publication documents the keynote lecture, speeches and discussions held throughout the conference given by architects and artists such as Vito Acconci, Peter Cook, Kenneth Frampton, Peter Kubelka, Andrea Lenardin Madden, Thom Mayne, Jonas Mekas, Eric Owen Moss, Peter Noever, Wolf D. Prix, Alexis Rochas, Michael Rotondi, Elfie Semotan and Lebbeus Woods. The publication also includes a DVD of Abraham's now-famous last lecture, “The Profanation of Solitude,” given at the Southern California Institute of Architecture, only hours before his untimely death.
