JUST ANOTHER REASON TO TRAVEL {TO VIENNA!}

I stumbled across one of Architectural Digest's "Daily AD" blog posts today, and it's title was: 

"THE ARCHITECT’S EYE: ARCHITECT OTTO WAGNER’S MODERNIST MARVELS IN VIENNA".  Just say "Vienna" and I'm immediately interested. After reading through the post and seeing the imagines, this adds yet another reason to my endless list of why I must to travel to France/Italy/Greece/Austria in the near future. This particular post celebrates the work of Otto Wagner, and his unique modernist style, which helped reinvent the city of Vienna at the turn of the 20th century.

Do you know who Otto Wagner is? 

He is considered to be the father of modernist design. Born 1841, died 1918. An Austrian architect, urban planner, and highly creative individual. 

One of the most transformative projects of Wagner’s era, the Austrian Postal Savings Bank (Österreichische Postsparkasse) took nearly a decade to plan, design, and build, beginning in 1904. Constructed of reinforced concrete, metal, stone, and glass, it celebrates light, air, and the honesty of functionalism with the new materials of the time.

Additional work by Wagner includes his two villas, which he built for is first and second marriage: 

Hope you've found some inspiration though this post!
