Gebundenes Buch

Vienna and the New Wohnkultur, 1918-1938

Beschreibung

This book introduces readers to an important but largely unknown strand of European modernism in Vienna--defining a new domestic culture (Wohnkultur)--one that often found itself at odds with the more well-known sleek, monumental approaches in Germany, France, and Italy, while navigating a complicated and perilous moment in history.
