Burgenland Modern: 100 Jahre, 100 Bauten

Burgenland is Austria’s youngest province, having been transferred from Hungarian jurisdiction in 1922. The province has a rich history, starting with the Celts in the 4th Century BC and later becoming part of the Roman province of Pannonia. Its mild climate and fertile land predestine it for primary activities such as winemaking and tourism. Because it is sparsely populated, there is ample space for building development. The recent architectural history of Burgenland is represented by vernacular homes in the villages and stately buildings in the towns.

100 exemplary buildings tell of the story of Burgenland’s architecture over the last century. Seven essays cover topics such as Viennese modernism in Burgenland, internationalization, Burgenland brutalism, and rural postmodernism.
