"Artec na dialektičen način postavljata eno poleg drugega: avtonomni, "brutalistični" jezik konstrukcije in materiala ter subtilno, nenarativno, primarno
funkcionalno interpretacijo konteksta."
Otto Kapfinger: besedilo v katalogu razstave Beyond the minimal -
Architectural Association, London, 1998.

Arhitekta ARTEC v svojem dosedanjem opusu nista nikoli kot rezultat individualne kaprice vsilila subjektivne forme, ampak sta reagirala na vsako konkretno situacijo. Pri tem prihaja do izraza eden od principov njunega dela: slabe strani in probleme objektivne situacije spremeniti v vrline objekta.
Pred rešitvijo stanovanjskega kompleksa Laxenburgerstrasse - Dieselgasse, postavljenega na prostoru opuščenega industrijskega skladišča, sta arhitekta izdelala podrobno urbanistično analizo okoliškega področja goste blokovske zazidave dunajske delavske četrti Favoriten. Arhitekta sta nov urbani vzorec (pattern) razvila v območju med intenzivno prometnico Laxenburgegstrasse
na zahodni strani zemljišča, opuščenim industrijskim
področjem na južni, novo stanovanjsko gradnjo s pripadajočo infrastrukturo na njegovi vzhodni strani ter gostim blokovskim naseljem na severni meji. Kakovost vzorca dokazujejo polivaletnost, izrazita strukturalnost, bogastvo prostorskih možnosti.

“ARTEC dialectally juxtapose
an autonomous,”brutalist” language of construction and materials with subtle, non-narrative, primarily functional interpretations of the context”
Otto Kapfinger: excerpt from
the catalogue for the exhibition
“Beyond the minimal” – Architectural Association, London, 1998.

In their opus so far ARTEC architects have never imposed subjective form as a consequence of individual caprice. Instead, they have reacted to every concrete situation. In the process,
they have expressed one of
the principles of their work:
how to change the inconveniences and faults of
an objective situation into the forte of a project.
The design solution of the residential complex Laxenburgerstrasse-Dieselgasse, located on the
site of an abandoned industrial warehouse, is the result of a detailed urban analysis of the surrounding area of high-density block buildings of Favoriten, a working class district in Vienna. The architects developed an urban pattern between the
busy thoroughfare Laxenburgerstrasse to the west, the abandoned industrial area
to the south, a new housing development with adequate infrastructure to the east and high-density block complexes
to the north. Its quality lies in
its polyvalent character, a
strong structure, and a
richness of spatial
opportunities.
