photo: Michiel van Loon Wiener Postsparkasse Georg-Coch-Platz 2 1010 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 photo: Michiel van Loon 12-1906 Otto Wagner Michiel_van_Loon Monday - Friday: 0800-1500 / Thursday: 0800-1730 http://wwwmimoaeu/users/shiiyeah/guides/vienna/ 6

Leopold Museum Museumsplatz 1 1070 Vienna A block clad on all sides with white mussel limestone, 24 metres high and embedded 13 metres in the ground From a distance the single windows give the impression of a private house Only when closer to the building do you grasp that they are actually oversized in format and measure 22 by 38 metres In angled sunlight the block, initially apparently smooth, reveals differently structured surfaces that give the stony mass a curious transparency, the rooms behind seem to shimmer through the facade 2004 Ortner & Ortner Nazar http://wwwmimoaeu/users/shiiyeah/guides/vienna/ 15
