3 photo: Nazar Leskiw Secession Building Friedrichstraße Vienna The large, white, cubic Secession Building was designed by architect Joseph Maria Olbrich in 1897 as the manifesto of the Secessionist movement The exhibition hall opened in October 1898 Most of the original interior was looted during World War II and the building was left in a desolate state until the passion for Viennese Art Nouveau was rediscovered in the 1970s and the pavilion rescued from decay The building is quite sober and only uses two colours, white and gold Due to its massive, unbroken walls, the construction has the appearance of being constructed from a series of solid cubes The most prominent feature of the otherwise clean design is the dome, made of 3,000 gilt laurel leaves The laurel symbolizes victory, dignity and purity Today the structure is one of the most treasured examples of a particularly Viennese artistic period (text from website Traveldk) photo: Nazar Leskiw Project is public!

5 Wiener Postsparkasse Georg-Coch-Platz Vienna Representing Otto Wagner's first move away from Art Nouveau and Neoclassicism, the Wiener Postsparkasse (n Postal Savings Bank) is regarded as an important early work of modern architecture The building occupies an entire city block, next to the Ringstrasse boulevard The bank's façade obviously alludes to classicism Wagner's key idea was to celebrate modern materials by developing new forms The entire façade is covered with square marble plates These are attached to the main structure by aluminum rivets or bolts, forming a pattern Inside, the main hall is designed like an atrium, with a large glass skylight allowing natural light to enter the heart of the building at all times Project is public!

6 Schullin Jewelry Shop Kohlmarkt Vienna In this jewelry shop in Vienna, ornament is both message and medium Hans Hollein has taken the basic shell of a 19th-century building, corrected it slightly, and painted it white He then superimposed a clearly differentiated layer of elements not only functional but fantastic and luxurious Paradoxically for a jewelry shop (and quite intentionally), he has used materials in flagrant disregard of their real value: some are precious and some are common, but all, glowing or glittering, tease the visitor with an impression of wealth and mystery Real marble is used in the patterned floor, but in the black-curtained backworld of the safe, under a mock skylight, plastic laminate pretends to be marble Real bronze is used as an arch/guillotine over the entrance, but a headless 'bronzed' African bust is in fact plastic (text from 'Ornament is no crime', Progressive ure/ny) Public access unknown! 1974 Client Hans Hollein Herbert Schullin 6

8 Spittelau District Heating Plant Spittelauer Lände 1090 Vienna Vienna has the persistence of its former mayor Helmut Zilk to thank for Hundertwasser having taken on the task of redesigning the exterior of the Spittelau District Heating Plant Originally Hundertwasser had opposed the idea upon consulting his friend, environmentalist Bernd Lötsch, as he had fundamental objections to a garbage-incinerating plant as long as all possibilities for avoiding garbage were not exhausted When it was promised that the plant would be equipped with the most modern emission-purification technology, and that apartments would be heated whose emissions would otherwise be a further source of pollution, Hundertwasser agreed to do the design The plain factory building was turned into a spectacular and unique work of art, and is an example of harmonic symbiosis between technology, ecology and art (text from Kunst Haus Wien) Project is not public! 1992, Artist Friedensreich Hundertwasser 8

9 Majolikahaus Linke Wienzeile Vienna This apartment building in Vienna, known as the Majolikahaus, was designed by n architect Otto Wagner at the turn of the 20th century The building's façade is covered in ceramic tiles, known as majolica, in the form a floral pattern The building is an excellent example of the Secession style, the Viennese version of Art Nouveau (text from Encarta) Project is not public! 1898 Otto Wagner 9
