An outdoor theater, the renovation of the Zottmann villa into a Roman archaeological museum, a museum pavilion, a belvedere overlooking the Danube: four architectural events at the service of an exceptional site, a place of history and memory.
Pfaffenberg: Here, history has always encountered geological eruptions and fractures, ideological confrontations between thought systems.
Privileged place of the Roman invasion, the Ottoman push, the fractures of the Austro-Hungarian Empire… the site is entirely a capacitor of identities. Here « hic saxa loquuntur » (here speak the stones), here the balances of the landscape result from the accumulation of the imbalances of history.
Here the architecture to come must still make its voice heard.
