“Design conjures up the notion of a radically different 'Weltentwurf' – from the spoon to the design of a metropolis.” —pn

Recent projects and works include: a new landmark for the city of St. Pölten / Austria – the 25m / 82ft high light sculpture “Fountain” by Brigitte Kowanz (2017) on the site of Glanzstoff.

The exhibition declared_ (Peter Noever / Andrea Lenardin) accompanied by the “call to action” took place 2018 in various cities and states design as an interface between cultural diversity and global challenges in a time of dramatic political exclusion. In spirit of this initiative Peter Noever designed a.o.:

The New 1/8-Glass with the US architect Andrea Lenardin, produced by Stölzle-Lausitz. Available here: Stölzle-Lausitz Shop

The MAK ACHTEL housewine glass (mouthblown) for Lobmeyr Vienna
("a statement for — understatement") → J. & L. Lobmeyr

Sole Oriente, 2023, a neon mirror project range ("a glowing sign of urban design in a private atmosphere"). → Details

If "home office" is on everyone's mind today, then it is perhaps helpful to know that Peter Noever launched his "Office work in bed" project back in 1974.

His exhibition Obsessions In_Focus, at SCI_Arc, Los Angeles, 2019 was also a clear reference to what he called "Confrontations, Confessions and glowing friendships". Without such artist friends, and their unmistakable avant-garde attitude, as Noever claims – he would not have been able to successfully carry out the comprehensive project MAK Vienna / Los Angeles. The list of participants in this exhibition ranges from Raimund Abraham to Lebbeus Woods.

Noever's Land Art project Die Grube/The Pit, which was listed in 2019, was first shown in Austria under the title "out_of the blue" (ISBN 978-3-903172-93-7) in the Gallery "ArchitekturRaum Burgenland" in 2021. Almost 30 years before, "The Pit" was shown under the title "Upstairs Down" as the opening exhibition of the Gallery "StoreFront for Art and Architecture", New York, 1994 (curated by Shirin Neshat and Kyong Park). In many respects, this work-in progress, which is situated at the interface between two world cultures at a geopolitical intersection, at the beginning of the Eurasian Steppe, is one of Noever's key works.

„Peter Noever has made not simply a site, an armature for spectatorship, but has crafted a place. Here’s the difference: Noever’s work tests not the edge of sculpture but the edge of architecture. The arts of habitation are not excluded but attenuated, made to dance a langorous yet electric tango of life floated to ritual.” (Michael Sorkin)

Günther Domenig (is) in conversation

Peter Noever and Andrea Schurian

„Architecture is an objection against transitoriness, against arbitrariness and randomness.With the Steinhaus Günther Domenig has created an unyielding place of retreat, a unique labartorium.The Steinhaus remains utopia in view of its unfinishability. Its realization therefore has to accept the demolition, which makes his work an allegory of human existence.“ - PN

Die Neue Stadt / The New City

Essay by Peter Noever for „Realisierte Visionen (Realised Visions)“, Klaus Bollinger, Institute of Architecture, University for Applied Art, Vienna, 2021

Cloud Iron / Wolkenbügel. I dream about it at night. I then imagine a huge horizontal sculpture, in the spirit of El Lissitzky. A floating beam above the city I am familiar with. An unfamiliar sight: threatening, unadulterated, falsified, radical. Visionaries, masterminds may now have actually conquered the city. For a moment. I have the impression that the New York High Line is opening up in front of me…

Office Work in Bed

It was not meant like that.
at that time, the intention was to release from frozen, thoughtlessly continued structures. Already decades ago there was no need to set up huge office centers. office work could have been done from anywhere. and now there is the state regulation, so to speak. the new compulsion. our attitude towards life is currently at the very limit. “home office” the keyword must not degenerate into “home-land office”! how at all we have to remain vigilant so as not to continue using the language we are now confronted with. there is no reason for nobody to put our society into a mode of war.

ZAHA HADID (1950–2016)

Even just Zaha’s very presence is architecture.
It was not just her unswervingly individual stance, but above all her special empathy, loyalty, and warmth as a friend that underlay the decades-long connection between us, the loss of which I cannot bring myself to believe.

The world has grown poorer—one of the great, irreplaceable innovators of architecture has left us.
