INTRODUCTION The building’s name is related to the neighboring Guglhupfberg. The Gucklhupf (Figure 38) is a walk-in sculpture an exploration of architecture and art. It was built to mark "The Festival of the Regions" on a private lake property on Lake Mondsee. The theme of the festival was "The Stranger". LOCATION The GucklHupf was built on 1500 m2 of private grounds. The structure is surrounded by nature, at the Mondsee in Innerschwand / Upper Austria. Under public pressure the building is now removed from the site. CONCEPT As the theme of "The Festival of the Regions" was "The Stranger", the architect tried to create a relation between strangers and intimacy, relaxation and exercise as well as living and traveling. As a result, the out coming building was a structure that does not tend toward an absolutely final state but allows a progressive deviation from its initial state of stereo metric object. The building issued by its owners during the six week long summer opening as a contemplative space, stage for small performances, music pieces and poetry readings with clear reference to the Arcadian myth.
