Otto Wagner (1841–1918) was a pivotal figure in 20th‑century architecture. Associated with the Vienna Secession—a group of artists and designers who broke away from the conservative Viennese Künstlerhaus under Gustav Klimt’s presidency—Wagner’s visionary approach, called structural rationalism, employed glass, steel, and especially aluminium to reshape Vienna’s architectural identity. From the imposing Austrian Postal Savings Bank to the radiant St. Leopold Church in Steinhof—one of the world’s most significant Art Nouveau churches—this hardcover edition explores the breadth of Wagner’s career within the political, economic, and social dynamics of his time. The book contains 96 pages.
