Style
In general, his works are not large-scale, and he has not expressed consecrating theories either, but nevertheless Hollein is, within his generation, one of the most internationally recognized architects from the second half of the 1960s. When he begins to project It has two basic principles, one is the geometric approach and the other is almost corporeal, a nature-based approach. Although he tries to integrate these principles, that does not mean that they always harmonize; sometimes they collide with each other, that is, the conflict is also a form of integration for him.
