At around 100 years old, Burgenland is the youngest province in Austria, even though it was already developed by the Celts and Romans. The climate predestines it for elementary activities such as viticulture and tourism. Its advantages offer creative space for development. With their activities, they shape the more recent image of Burgenland, embedded in the vernacular houses in the village and the representative buildings of the towns.
In 10 building periods, each represented by 10 exemplary examples, the book covers the period of the last 100 years in 100 buildings. Essays cover topics such as modernism, sacred buildings, brutalism, postmodernism, the new generation and living in the countryside today.
A unique compendium for connoisseurs and lovers of architecture and Burgenland.
