WienArchitekturIn2Tagen - Erster Tag
Diese Mustertour demonstriert eine mögliche individuelle Auswahl aus den angebotenen Touren von wienarchitektur. Hier verleiht ein Stadtspaziergang vom Donaukanal quer durch die Innenstadt bis zum Museumsquartier Einblick in unterschiedlichste Bauepochen und Gebäudetypologien.

01 Postsparkasse 1903-1906
Georg-Coch-Platz 2, 1010 Wien
Otto Wagner

The Post Office Savings Bank is a milestone of Viennese Modernism. One of Otto Wagner’s masterpieces, the elegant building on Ringstrasse with its impressive counter hall presents particularly innovative solutions to technical-structural details while fulfilling the highest aesthetic standards.

02 High-rise Herrengasse 1930-1932
Herrengasse 6 - 8, 1010 Wien
Theiss & Jaksch

At the time of construction, this 16-storey reinforced steel structure triggered many intense discussions. Not only because of its peculiar appointment with housing units for singles, a canteen-type kitchen with dining hall and restaurant facilities in the glazed loft storeys staggered one atop the other, Vienna’s first-ever high-rise has remained sensational.

03 House on Michaelerplatz 1909-1911
Michaelerplatz 3, 1010 Wien
Adolf Loos

Once denigrated as the "house without eyebrows" despite its sumptuous ground-floor zone adorned by a variety of high-quality materials, this former store of the exclusive tailors Goldmann & Salatsch has over the decades become the destination of many an architectural pilgrimage. Situated right opposite the splendidly ornamented ensemble of Vienna’s Imperial Palace complex, Adolf Loos’ simple, uncluttered masterpiece proved a massive shock to early-20th-century public sensibilities.

04 UNIQUA Tower 1999-2004
Praterstraße 1-7, 1020 Wien
Neumann & Partner

The tower erected on an elliptical layout with its indulgently clinging, "tilted" add-on, which functions as a lobby at ground level, offers maximum sophistication regarding façade design. The multifunctional hall with its convex/concave lattice shell serving as roof structure meets the expectations of contemporary multimedia appeal promised by the exterior.

05 MuseumQuarter 1990-2001
Museumsplatz 1, 1070 Wien
Ortner & Ortner, Manfred Wehdorn

As Austria’s biggest cultural complex, the MuseumsQuartier set within the revitalised ensemble of the former imperial stables dating from the 18th and 19th centuries constitutes an urbanistic axis that links old and new cultural spaces of Vienna through its modern implants, multifaceted institutions, squares and open spaces.

06 Café/restaurant UNA at the MQ 1999-2001
Museumsplatz 1 (Staatsratshof), 1070 Wien
Lacaton & Vassal, Feldbacher & Seehof

Simple tables and wooden chairs, freely hanging lighting fixture cables and an unplastered front are juxtaposed with a constellation of Oriental tiles set in a historic cross vault. Also due to the large glazed surfaces on both sides, this individualistic, very successful mix of different styles creates exquisite moods at any time of day.

07 Alte Aula, Research Gallery 2001-2006
Bäckerstraße 20 / Wollzeile 27a, 1010 Wien
Rudolf Prohazka

After renovation, the Alte Aula now offers state-of-the-art premises with high-end equipment for events and exhibitions. The core of this space is the second-storey Jesuit Theatre with its historic ceiling fresco and a sliding partition featuring top-quality stage technology. The forecourt facing Bäckerstrasse can be used as a public stage with large projection surface.
