Architecture of international standing has had a very long tradition in Vienna; the cityscape is marked by the splendor of past centuries. At the same time, Vienna is one of the liveliest metropolises in the heart of united Europe, distinguished by a wealth of contemporary architecture. This architecture guide provides an access to this thrilling architectural variety. The two authors, architects Mark Steinmetz and Sandy Panek, take the reader through all historical architectural eras – from the Middle Ages until the present. The chronologically constructed chapters and the colored pictures vividly convey the characteristics of every era. In addition to about 450 single buildings, the distinguished master builders of Vienna and every individual era are portrayed separately. Ten route suggestions for traveling on foot guide the interested visitor around Vienna.
