Against the backdrop of a rich architectural history, Vienna has been building an inclusive and liveable city for more than a hundred years. The idea that living is a basic right has placed Vienna among the top most liveable cities worldwide. Names such as Hermann Czech, Josef Hoffmann and Adolf Loos are inseparable from the city, which is worth exploring both socially and architecturally.

Arnaud Tandt Karl-Marx-Hof, Vienna, Karl Ehn, 1930

In the early twentieth century, the foundations were laid for a housing policy whose benefits Vienna’s residents still reap today. Under socialist rule, large-scale housing projects were developed in the ‘Rote Wien’, where ideally baker and doctor were each other’s neighbours. Various innovative approaches to housing and urban planning emerged in the following century. From the large-scale, modernist housing complexes in green environments, such as Alt-Erlaa by Harry Glück, to the transformation of industrial areas into new city districts with progressive housing concepts, such as the ‘Wohnprojekt Wien’ by Eins zu Eins Architektur. These strategies have led to the city government managing or subsidising more than 50 per cent of housing, allowing it to influence both the affordability and quality of housing.

Our journey through Vienna offers a fascinating overview of these developments, from the sumptuously ornate structures of the Vienna Secession to the ‘ornamentless’ response of Adolf Loos. We also take a side trip to Brno in the Czech Republic, a city famous for its modernist heritage, the most evocative elaboration of which being Ludwig Mies van der Rohe’s iconic Villa Tugendhat.

A trip that will seek answers to pressing social problems such as the shortage of quality and affordable housing in big cities, but also focus on the virtuosity of various architectural icons.
