Vienna architecture guide and encyclopedia. Essays on the city and building history as well as on the current planning debate. Illustrated with photos and plans of the projects by district.
Projects can be found easily in detailed maps.
August Sarnitz has followed architecture in Vienna for over a decade in his Springer guides. The new guide discusses 700 buildings from all periods built in all styles that can be seen in
Vienna.
A focal point is on the more recent building and planning schemes that have given Vienna a new image - also in terms of preservation. Essays by recognized specialists and critics address the
controversial debate on city renewal and give the reader a differentiated view of the exemplary collection of buildings featured in the guide to help readers visualize planning
relationships.
The lexical quality of the indexes on the chronology of construction and architects, the essays on styles, history and city planning, as well as maps make the new book an essential guide for
tourists as well as for all readers interested in architecture.
Written for: Architects, students, interested laymen.
Keywords: Architectural Guide, Architectural History, Cityguide, Recent Architecture.
