Seminar Three times Sitte

The biographies of the three architects Franz (1818-1879) - Camillo (1843-1903) - Siegfried (1876-1945) are characterised by the continuities, but especially by the social and cultural-historical ruptures that took place against the backdrop of the so-called "long 19th century" and the first half of the 20th century. The three successive generations worked on architectural, urban planning and theoretical projects, and their traces can be found at different levels throughout Central Europe.

In this elective seminar, the question of what influence the individual protagonists of the Sitte family of architects had on the Austrian architectural landscape will be explored.
