Wolf D. Prix, the co-founder of Coop Himmelb(l)au was head of the Studio Prix at the University of Applied Arts in Vienna for more than twenty years. His architectural visions shaped the
studio, which from the very beginning came to stand for radicalism, cutting edge strategies and utopias translated into reality (built into the real). Studio Prix was a creative lab that
offered intense support. The publication features a selection of projects and diploma works of students as well as statements of international guests such as architects like Hitoshi Abe, Peter
Cook, Mario Coyula-Cowley, Christine Hawley, Lars Lerup, Greg Lynn, Eric Owen Moss, Carl Pruscha, Michael Rotondi, Patrik Schumacher, Zaha Hadid and theoreticians like Sylvia Lavin, Sanford
Kwinter, Jeffrey Kipnis, Christian Reder and Hans Ulrich Heck.
