Today, the Kunsthaus Graz is an integral part of the urban identity of Austria's second largest city. Even though this "friendly alien" by architects Sir Peter Cook and Colin Fournier, which landed in 2003, has now become a familiar object, perspectives on the building have changed over time and will continue to do so in the future. The book looks back at almost twenty years since its creation, unfolding kaleidoscopically and focusing primarily on the uses and usages of the Kunsthaus. In local as well as global terms, the Kunsthaus Graz is contextualised and related to its users.
