Graz the second largest city of Austria is part of the Metblogs family. It also helps Metblogs cross over the 50 city mark. Welcome to the bloggers of Graz.

My personal association with Graz goes back to 1995 when I first visited the city as a student of architecture, participating in a conference. Since then it has been a lifelong affair of love and admiration for the city.

Last year I wrote about Graz and its architecture

Graz is one of the most beautiful medium sized cities in Europe. The modern architecture movement there is about 4 decades old. Its developed into a movement of its own called the Grazer Schule. The state of Styria, of which Graz is the capital, elected an architect as its governor in the early 80’s and he made it mandatory for all projects built with government money to go through a process of competition. Thus every architect, young and starting, or established and famous could compete for the projects and many a new architecture star was born this way. The general public awareness about architecture is amazingly high. More of that in another post someday soon.
