The Werkgruppe Graz designed the terraced housing estate in
Graz-St. Peter in 1965, during a period of societal upheaval. The
complex was eventually built between 1972 and 1978. The planning
group—members of the avant-garde artists’ association Forum
Stadtpark—took a stand against the established system of
residential construction, which was characterized by monotone
design and the urban sprawl of single-family homes. Instead, they
championed the utopian approach of involving residents in the
planning process, which was reflected in the development’s basic
structuralist framework with adaptable living units. Comprised of
four terraced housing blocks in exposed concrete at the edge of
Graz, the estate’s sculptural, brutalist appearance received
international acclaim. Gelebte Utopie is the first book to provide
a collection of texts of architectural commentary and context on
the settlement. It additionally offers insights into the
inhabitants’ living spaces and is enriched with artistic
projects.
