Modern Architecture A Guidebook for Students to This Field of Art

German architect Otto Wagner¹s ³Moderne Arhitektur² 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 Wagner¹s 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.Wagner, Otto is the author of 'Modern Architecture A Guidebook for Students to This Field of Art' with ISBN 9780756766030 and ISBN 0756766036.
