This exhibition presents a snapshot of an engagement with an architecture that rests on two opposing poles. On the one hand, the emotional connection to a building in which one has been able to spend much time over the years. On the other hand, the detached gaze of a person who has only recently come to know the house in its abandoned state.
The focus is not only on dealing with the work of a renowned protagonist of Austrian architecture, but on the discourse about current issues of an architectural and social nature – the question of housing and of appropriate forms of living in the field of tension between city and countryside.
RUBEN MAHLER is developing a cross-disciplinary practice situated between architecture, art and production based in Vienna. This approach is deeply rooted in the belief that cross- pollination and contamination allow for a deeper understanding of matter and space and therefore of the discipline of the architect.
VINZENZ KRAMER, an architectural practitioner from South Tyrol, lives and works in Vienna. The contrast between his alpine origins and the urban influence shaped by studying and living in Vienna informs his architectural perspective. Alongside his work in an architecture firm, he continues to pursue his own personal path within the field.

ISSUE 02
A MATTER OF
REFORMULATION
27.11.2025 - 19:00
As the publication series A MATTER OF is a collective endeavour, bringing together a multitude of perspectives, it only seems fair, if not necessary, that the final design should be done collectively as well.
In the form of colour and drawings on top of its pages, this evening is meant to visualise this act of writerly reading (Roland Barthes). Relating to the publication’s content in a rather intuitive motion, the act of drawing across it adds yet another layer of expression and deepens the weaving relationship between text and image as well as their respective authors.
Aligning with the thought of the open call, everyone is invited to contribute to finalising the publication. From their own point of view, with their own capabilities and approaches. Their own favourite colour, and their own chosen motifs. Let’s draw on the new issue’s cover and pages together! So that each copy will look different. Each copy will hold a different body of authorship. Make your own, or make it for others. In any case, let’s do it together!
Above all, this publication series is about connecting people. Especially so, in a field typically driven so much by competition and elbows. This evening is a colourful invitation to get talking, drawing and creating together. The more the merrier! So, bring your friends and your partners in crime, and let’s continue our reformulation!
PHILIPP KITZBERGER is writing, drawing, designing, and confusing the three. At the intersection of design, art, theory, and practice he is interested in spatial, societal, and philosophical questions at the core of sustainability concerns and material-temporal issues. Besides his practice in an architecture studio, he aims to expand the field through the production of texts, images and the annual publication of the journal AMO.
A MATTER OF is a collective journal approaching the world through the eyes of architecture, asking: how could a communicative and cooperative notion contribute to a more sustainable, reasonable, and worthwhile architectural practice of tomorrow?

DECEMBER IN THE OFFICE

december in the office reflects on these unseen aspects of architectural labour through a combination of text and textile prints. The prints feature two photographs taken during long, tense working days in the weeks leading up to Christmas. This period, and the end of the year more generally, is especially stressful across capitalist professions, as accounting reports must be finalised, invoices claimed, and project phases closed to bill clients. Architecture, as a profession, is no exception.
Installed like curtains, the prints offer glimpses into the often-overlooked labour that architecture generates beyond the construction site—within the office environment. Overlaid with a poem, they reflect the perspective of an architectural worker who has become—despite the creative industry’s constant denial—a commodity. The curtains also pose a question to those occupying FREDIANE.space: should they reveal the (art)work that interrogates the invisibility of labour and commodification within architectural practice, or expose their actual architectural practice—the work and labour performed in the space behind the curtains? Either way, one aspect remains hidden
