“The first of the pioneering figures of modern architecture, Otto Wagner was 
Professor of Architecture at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna, a leading member of 
the Vienna Secession, but above all, the designer and creator of modern Vienna. His 
Professional career, which spanned a period of over fifty years, from the middle of the 
nineteenth Century to the eve of the First World War, coincided with a time of radical 
change in the arts throughout Europe, and he was regarded by his contemporaries as a 
revolutionary, whose work heralded a new age in urban-planning and in the concept of 
building design.” (Pintaric, Vienna 1900 The Architecture of Otto Wagner, p. 7)
