Overview

German architect Otto Wagner's "Moderne Arhitektur" appeared in four editions between 1896 and 1914. Its appearance not only created a sensation but also presaged a revolution. Historically, it may be viewed as the culmination of 19th-century efforts to create a new architectural style. This translation is based on the text of the 1902 edition, which is expanded and mature in its theoretical formulation, reflecting Wagner's experience with the Secession and his growing professional reputation. With its lavish layout of photographs and vignettes, this volume is a polished, complete polemical work intended for the international architectural community. Chapters: the architect, style, composition, construction, and the practice of art.
