Protest Architecture

Barricades, camps, expansive tactics 1830-2023

Edited by: Oliver Elser, Anna-Maria Mayerhofer, Sebastian Hackenschmidt, Jennifer Dyck, Lilli Hollein, Peter Cachola Schmal.

Protest movements shape public space not only through their messages, but in many cases also through their - mostly temporary - buildings. The German Architecture Museum DAM in Frankfurt and the MAK - Museum of Applied Arts in Vienna are pursuing this thesis in an exhibition project funded by the German Federal Cultural Foundation. The topic is discussed using numerous examples from the last 170 years. For the first time, various forms of protest are systematically compared from a structural perspective, including the barricades of the 1848 revolution, the stilt houses of the anti-nuclear power movement in Gorleben (1980), the tent cities of the Arab Spring (2011), and the tree houses in Hambacher and Dannenröder Forst (2018/19) or the fluid, laser-based light spaces of the demonstrators in Hong Kong (2019). Protest Architecture, designed as a lexicon with around 170 entries and 14 longer case studies, is the first international inventory of the architecture of protest and presents it in all its diversity and sometimes ambivalence. The preceding chronology portrays around 50 protest movements and their architectural manifestations on one page and with one illustration.

The 1873 Vienna World’s Fair Revisited

Egypt and Japan as Europe’s “Orient”

On the occasion of the 150th anniversary of the Vienna World Exhibition of 1873, the MAK is addressing a critical aspect of this prestigious international show: the presentation of the Orient as an orientalist construct of the 19th century. Using the example of Egypt and Japan, which were often categorized as "Orient" according to the cultural geography of the time, the exhibition WIENER WELTAUSSTELLUNG 1873 REVISITED. Egypt and Japan as Europe's "Orient" highlights different facets of this phenomenon.

The Wiener Werkstätte Artist Felice Rix-Ueno (1893–1967)

Edited by: MAK, Lilli Hollein and Anne-Katrin Rossberg

Felice Rix-Ueno studied under Josef Hoffmann, a co-founder of the Wiener Werkstätte (1903–1932). Inspired by the Japanese formal language, she formed her own style, which was expressed in particularly imaginative fabric and wallpaper patterns, fashion and home accessories, and wall paintings. After her marriage to the Japanese architect Isaburo Ueno, she moved to Japan in 1926. There they created joint works that received much attention, such as the Star Bar in Kyoto, which was shown in the famous exhibition Modern Architecture in New York’s MoMa in 1932. Felice Rix-Ueno, who was already prominently represented in the successful MAK exhibition Women Artists of the Wiener Werkstätte, is given a substantial monographic treatment for the first time outside Japan with this catalog.
