Bilingual Architecture Travel Guide
The fifth volume of our guided journey through the architectural landscape of Lower Austria presents 200 examples of an extraordinary highpoint in architectural culture. The structures built in the era from 1848 to 1918, from when Emperor Franz Joseph took the throne to the fall of the Danube Monarchy, shape the identity of the Austrian nation to this very day. „New methods of construction, new materials, new human tasks and viewpoints demanded a change ore reconstitution of existing froms,“ writes Otto Wagner in 1995 in his book Modern Architecture, reminding us that the years soon to be considered the „good old times“ were actually an era of great upheaval. This book provides special insight to these eventful 70 years of architectural history in lower Austria – from Historicism to Modernism.
