“Raimund Abraham was a visionary architect and a great teacher. Some of those aspects of Raimund you’ll glimpse in this video. But most of the footage is personal, it comes from forty years of our friendship. You’ll see in this video portrait a lot of Raimund. Raimund celebrating, Raimund arguing, Raimund lecturing, Raimund serving his legendary roasts. His dinners were legendary both for food and high drama. And always friends – friends from the old Vienna days, friends from the Cooper Union days, friends, friends. Raimund believed in friendships, he relied on them, and he tested his friendships the hard way. He was a tough friend, but a good friend, always reliable. He was always there for me, when I felt low and needed a late night drink, no matter what hour, he was always there. He was a good friend.” –J.M.
