Leopold Bauer – Heretic of Modern Architecture

Henry Chose

Leopold Bauer (1872–1938) was one of the leading figures in modern architecture in Central Europe around 1900. He was described as the creator of the first modern house in the Habsburg monarchy and the author of the first philosophical-theoretical reflection of modern architecture in the region. Later, however, he denied his starting points and switched to the positions of a newof the rism.
The monographic processing of his architectural and design work is based on the study of Bauer’s extensive written estate in the Albertina in Vienna and on systematic field research of the architect’s realizations.
