Summary: "Herman Czech is one of the most renowned Viennese architects representing a very special architectural position in Austria. This first monograph on his manifold architectural oeuvre and critical writing focuses on his projects that contain numerous historic architectural references. In addition, the author provides a scholarly analysis of the cultural-historical background of this extraordinary work known as Vienna Modernism. A biographical section describes his childhood during National Socialism and World War Two and his study years in postwar Vienna. A catalogue raisonné and a list of Czech's writings complete this insightful book on Austrian architecture in the second half of the 20th century. The English edition furthermore examines Hermann Czech's recent redesign of the Sigmund Freud Museum in Vienna, as well as an earlier Sigmund Freud exhibition designed by him"--Page 4 of cover.
