Dimitris Manikas was born in 1938 on the island of Syros, in the Cyclades. He studied architecture at the Technischen Universität Wien, graduating in 1967. He worked as a freelance architect based in Vienna, frequently collaborating with architects both in Greece and internationally. Throughout his career he participated in architectural competitions in Greece, a mark of his attachment and constant bond with his birthplace: competitions included those for the Αcropolis Museum, for Syntagma Square, and Aristotelous Square in Thessaloniki. To mark his 80th birthday, Manakis gifted his complete archive to the Modern Greek Architecture collection of the Benaki Museum in Athens. Text in English, German and Greek.

Birkhauser Frei und Losgelöst / Free and Detached: Architekten der Meisterklasse / Architects of the Master Class Wilhelm Holzbauer
From 1977 until his retirement in 1999, Wilhelm Holzbauer was Head of one of the three master classes for architecture at Vienna University of Applied Arts. His teaching activity was supported by a number of Assistant Lecturers and Assistants, amongst them Dimitris Manikas, Heiner Fürst, Ernst Mayr, Roman Delugan and others. Under the tuition of this fortuitous constellation of teachers, the students created fantasy projects and designs for actual construction projects current at the time, some of which were overtaken by events and some of which are still current today. Some of the students from that time are now recognized architects (e.g. Carlo Baumschlager, Roman Delugan, Hubert Hermann, Ernst Mayr, Francy Valentiny, Susanne Zottl and many others) and have numerous completed buildings to their name. This publication compares the student designs of these architects with those of their current work.
