Prix + Helmut Swiczinsky The practice is famous for unusual, angular buildings. A key early project was a prosthetic guest attached to, and invading, a Vienna building, a major influence on many architecture students in the early 90's. Their architecture could be equated to Expressionist art in that the projects 'explode' and are almost defined by non-cartesian form.
