This architectural guide is the first comprehensive publication on Vienna that can be used both as guide and lexicon. A selection of 500 buildings in the city, ranging from examples of the Gothic period to those of our century was compiled by a team of specialists in the field, and is accompanied by essays on the history of the city, its recent history, residential building and 20th century architecture in Vienna. 650 photos and over 200 drawings give concrete information on the physical fabric of Viennese architecture, and well-known architects have devised routes taking in the interesting examples and given personal tips, bringing to life the icons of the Viennese building tradition.

With its wealth of details, clear maps and informative essays, Architecture in Vienna should be a model guide for the architectural self-presentation of any civically minded city.” The Architectural Review 3/99
