Subject of course

Studying in Vienna around 1900 - Fashion, Leisure and Daily Life

We will take a look at the situation of the development of educational institutions in Austria - in particular in Vienna around 1900. We want to explore the architecture that is connected to the evolving educational infrastructure such as kindergardens, schools and universities, but also coffee houses, leisure places and theatres to name but a few  and analyze how the cityscape has been shaped according to these new impulses. Our goal is to gain an understanding of this very specific cultural heritage and explore different strategies how to preserve this heritage by including new functions.
