Vienna & Brno
With the support of:

Alt-Erlaa, Vienna, Harry Glück, 1986
At the beginning of the 20th 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’ during the interwar period, 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 greenery, such as Alt-Erlaa by Harry Glück in the 1970s, to the transformation of industrial areas into new city districts with progressive housing concepts, such as the ‘Wohnprojekt Wien’ by Eins zu Eins Architektur today. These strategies have led to the city government managing or subsidising more than 50 per cent of housing, allowing it to influence both affordability and quality of living.
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.
