Sculptural Architecture in Austria

Austrian architects play a significant role in today's world-wide development of a sculptural form of expression. This phenomenon has its roots in similar streams in the past, which belong to a rich cultural heritage from centuries gone by. The short historical background, starting with the comment about the Gothic Stephan's Cathedral in Vienna, acts as an introduction to the subject, followed by examples of the spatial splendour of the Baroque, and a glimpse on the movement of Modernism to the immediate examples of "sculptural architecture" from Austria's past. The main comprehensive part is dedicated to examples of contemporary architecture.
