Editing Graz (section)

===Architecture===
The city centre and the adjacent districts are characterized by the historic residential buildings and churches. In the outer districts buildings are predominantly of the architectural styles from the second half of the 20th century.

In 1965 the Graz School (''Grazer Schule'') was founded. Several buildings around the universities are of this style, e.g. the green houses by Volker Giencke and the ''RESOWI'' Centre by Günther Domenig.

Before Graz became European Capital of Culture in 2003, several new projects were realized, such as the ''Stadthalle'' - a multifunctional space for e.g. conventions and concerts -, the Children's Museum (''Kindermuseum''), the ''Helmut-List-Halle'', the Museum of Contemporary Art (''Kunsthaus'') and the Island in the Mur (''Murinsel'').
