"Seen from an architectural point of view, Holzinger's original contribution to the history of modern architecture lies in the fact that he eliminated the antithesis between elevation and ground plan. His building demonstrates precise agreement between internal and external geometry. And as well as this, it met the demand of reconciling art and life, as Holzinger assumed that people would be prepared to allow their daily tasks to lead to aesthetic behaviour at all times, and would go along with the rhythmic narrowing down and opening up of the space, a current that draws them through the building - from bottom to top, accompanied by ever-increasing light and sunshine. This thrilling movement towards the light, this injection of dynamism into space, and their synthetic effect of always presenting what is separate as a unity, deserve to be called avant-garde in the best sense."--Jacket
