JapanLisztRaiding
Roland Hagenberg commissioned ten japanese architects to create temporary dwellings for the village Raiding in Burgenland – birth place of Franz Liszt – as athmospheres of sensation, to exlore chances, challenges and contradictions in a todays "non-city".
The Japanese top architect Kengo Kuma uses LUCCON light concrete in his contribution Cube #6: "Con-Fiber' is a concrete bloc letting the light penetrate".
Until 27th January, the material study is placed in Raiding, Burgenland, at the size of 2x2x2 meters. Then, Austrian President Dr. Heinz Fischer will officially inaugurate the Franz Liszt Year in the birth place of the componist – in 2011 he would have been 200 years old.
The production of Cube #6 (CNC milling, ...) is performed at local companies.
