What do Otto Wagner, Adolf Loos, Josef Hoffmann, Clemens Holzmeister, Friedrich Kiesler, Hans Hollein, Gustav Peichl, Gunter Domenig and Baumschlager & Eberle have in common? They built in Europe. In the last century, especially in the last decades, it has been possible to make architecture by Austrian architects a special quality label in Europe. Austrian architects often emerged victorious with their projects from numerous European competitions. The book allows a look at the development in the twentieth century and documents the years 1980-2002 in the main part. An outlook on successful projects and future completions points the way to the future.
