Starting with the 'Prologue', the first stage and the rise of Vienna to an imperial metropolis, in the second stage of the exhibition it is shown how numerous socio-political changes and the establishment of new cultural identities found their visible manifestation in the built reality of the country in the first half of the 20th century. In the charged area between gestures of power, socio-political experimentation, the 'conquest' of Alpine space and the factual as well as symbolic period of reconstruction after 1945, the specific contribution of Austrian architecture to the international history of building is shown on the basis of exemplary projects. THE TOPICS COVERED IN STAGE 2 02 RED VIENNA 03 LANDSCAPE 04 POWER 05 RECONSTRUCTION 66 projects arranged according to these topics are to be added to the exhibition and presented as a historical development on the varied basis of plans, documents, old photographs, company prospectuses etc. Specially edited film footage take the viewer beyond the period from 1850-1958. While a time track with a clear chronology running along the walls of the exhibition places the architectural achievements of Austria in a broader cultural context.
