Cultural Landscape Weinviertel and its vernacular Architetcure (lower Autria)

We will take a look at the situation of the Weinviertel region in Austria, the evolution of terraced vinyards, cellar lanes and vernacular architecture. We want to explore the architecture that is connected to the evolving local infrastructure such as new villages, cellar lanes and farmsteads to name but a few  and analyze how the landscape has been shaped according to these new impulses.
