Art and an aesthetic relationship to building and living in general—to architecture and the art of building—have always distinguished Bernd Reiter, his work, and his entire intellectual legacy. For Bernd Reiter is not only an entrepreneur and property developer, a positivist and provocateur; he is and always has been a publisher and, above all: an artist.
