Offene Raume/Public Spaces: Boris Podrecca

Fountain in the Rathausplatz, St Polten, Lower Austria from Offene Raume/Public Spaces: Boris Podrecca, ed Matthias Boeckl, Springer, Vienna and New York, 2004, [euro]64. Podrecca shows that he is a master of urban understatement, gently manipulating texture, colour and form to enhance cities as different as Split and Salzburg, Venice and Vienna. Always inventive, responsive to context and local culture, Podrecca is revealed to be one of the master civic landscapists of our time.
