Kengo Kuma is one of the most acclaimed contemporary architects. His projects, including the V&A Dundee design museum, the Tiffany store in Tokyo’s Ginza district, the National Stadium in Tokyo and many other buildings worldwide, have attracted considerable attention. Less well known, however, are Kuma’s hand-drawn sketches. Our upcoming exhibition “Kengo Kuma – The Flow of Lines through the Lens of Erieta Attali”, features a selection of these drawings. Accompanied are the sketches by photographs by the architecture- and landscape photographer Erieta Attali. While Kuma conceives of architecture in his drawings as a fluid process, an interweaving of material and relationship to the surroundings, Attali turns her photographic gaze to those quiet moments in which built structure, nature and light merge. The juxtaposition of drawing and photography creates a field of tension between design and experience, imagination and reality.

After these wonderful weeks it’s sad to say that our “Otto Wagner—Architect of Modern Life” has now ended. We want to thank the Wien Museum for the amazing opportunity to exhibit Otto Wagner’s drawings. Likewise, we want to thank Dr. Andreas Nierhaus for his wonderful curatorial job. And as always, a big thanks to everyone who came to visit our museum!

In preparation for our upcoming exhibition “Kengo Kuma – The Flow of Lines through the Lens of Erieta Attali”, the museum will be closed until June 13, 2026.

We wanted to commemorate the last weekend of our exhibition “Otto Wagner—Architect of Modern Life” with the title pages of Wagner’s first and last publication. It’s fascinating to see how drastically both covers differ from one another.
The title page of Wagner’s 1889 published book “Einige Skizzen, Projekte und ausgeführte Bauwerke“ (Some Sketches, Projects and Completed Buildings) shows an ancient architectural idyll. In comparison, “Die Baukunst unserer Zeit” (Architecture of Our Time) was deliberately kept simple in a design. It features a frame system reminiscent of the linear façade structures of Wagner’s late buildings.
“Die Baukunst unserer Zeit” was originally published in 1896 under the name “Moderne Architektur” (Modern Architecture). It’s considered one of Wagner’s most influential works, a founding manifesto of twentieth-century architecture. For the fourth edition of the book, the name and title page were changed. This polemic was a frontal attack: the reign of past styles was over; art must fit modern life.

The coloured concrete and glass façades of our museum are rich in contrast and layers. The sculptural design of the concrete, its structural qualities and the method of construction give the building its unique appearance. Its closed surface is detailed with reliefs of magnified fragments of architectonic sketches which suggest the aims and uses of the exhibition spaces and archive within. Each storey is treated with its own identical graphic element in a repetitive rhythm, while some façade surfaces are marked with vertical fluting to give the impression of yet another layer of hatched graphic lines.

This drawing is quite typical of Otto Wagner in that it contains a certain kind of narrative quality. It was made with the intent of being exhibited, therefore, the drawing contains a plurality of artfully crafted illustrations and ornamentation.

On this day, 108 years ago, Otto Wagner died at the age of 76. The villa shown in this drawing was one of Wagner’s last buildings.
Since he regarded the apartment block as the defining type of urban structure, Wagner did not attach great architectural significance to the single-family home. Even so, he published this classically proportioned building, with its programmatic flat roof, as a prototype of the modern villa and as a response to the then-popular “Heimatstil” (regionalist-traditional style) houses, which featured towers and false gables. The only façade decoration is a (not executed) grid pattern carved into the plaster around the windows and the geometric arrangement of the blue glass tiles, reminiscent of textile hangings.
The villa was originally intended as a widow’s residence for his second wife Louise. However, she unexpectedly passed away before Wagner. The building was sold after her passing and is now in private hands.
