Lower Austria - The Architectural Landscape | Mostviertel Region

The recent culture of Austria’s largest province is mostly unmapped territory. The journey through the 'wide open country' begins with this book on the Mostviertel region, presenting more than 200 examples of contemporary architecture. The portrayal of the historical development of the building culture and the ability of architecture to construct a regional identity - as in the of Austria's youngest capital, St. Pölten - is central to this book, which explores the period from 1919 to the present. Selected art projects at the crossroads of architecture, urban design and land art complete the picture of this region.
