The Austrian Cultural Forum New York is profoundly saddened by the sudden death of its architect Raimund Abraham on March 4th in Los Angeles. In remembrance of Raimund Abraham, the ACF offers:
SPECIAL GUIDED TOURS THROUGH ABRAHAM'S STUNNING BUILDING

10:00 AM - 01:00 PM you will have the chance to see the ACF roof terrace.
On the 11th Floor, we will show some of the architect’s plans of the ACF.
Raimund Abraham spent ten years of his life dedicated to the construction of the Austrian Cultural Forum from 1992 to 2002. The building was included in the 2009 edition of the Wall Paper City Guide as one of the five most important architectural landmarks in New York City and has received some one thousand reviews worldwide.
With the stunning design of the ACF building in Midtown Manhattan, Raimund Abraham has not only shaped the New York skyline, but also the way Austria has come to understand itself as a nation of contemporary creativity. It continues to attract design and architecture lovers from all over the world.
