Otto Wagner (1841-1918) is one of the most significant figures of
turn-of-the-century architecture. He was associated with the
Viennese Secession, a group of artists and designers headed by
Gustav Klimt that initiated a departure from the conservative style
of the Viennese Kunstlerhaus. Wagner's visionary approach,
described as structural rationalism, pioneered the use of materials
such as glass, steel, and especially aluminum to redefine Viennese
structural identity. From the imposing Austrian Postal Savings Bank
to the scintillating St. Leopold Church at Steinhof, one of the
most important Art Nouveau churches in the world: Discover the
breadth of Wagner's career as well as the political, economic, and
social dynamics of his time. This incisive overview features a map
locating all of the architect's most renowned projects and recent,
fresh photography from masters like Keiichi Tahara. About the
series Born back in 1985, the Basic Art Series has evolved into the
best-selling art book collection ever published. Each book in
TASCHEN's Basic Architecture series features: an introduction to
the life and work of the architect the major works in chronological
order information about the clients, architectural preconditions as
well as construction problems and resolutions a list of all the
selected works and a map indicating the locations of the best and
most famous buildings approximately 120 illustrations (photographs,
