The House 21 is a modernist style steel and glass building designed by Austrian architect Karl Schwanzer (1918–1975). Originally constructed as the Austrian pavilion or temporary showroom for the Expo 58 in Brussels, it was later transferred to Vienna to house the Museum of the 20th Century. Between 1979 and 2001, the building also acted as a depository for contemporary art works. From 2009 to 2011, it was remodeled by the architect Adolf Krischanitz and consequently renamed House 21. The museum is a branch of the Belvedere Museum, focusing on Austrian art of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries and its embedding in an international context.

The Library and Learning Center (LC) is the centerpiece of the new campus of the Vienna University of Economics iand Business. Responsible architect was Zaha Hadid with her Hamburg office. The cantilevered roof of the building and the so-called ‘Monitor’ (a huge panorama window) capture the eye of the viewer. The space inside is stuctured by a spacious atrium and narrow “canyons” that divide the massive exterior.

Shadows on stairs

Stairs inside the wonderful ‘Pinakothek der Moderne’ in Munich.

The Modern Art Museum was designed by architect Stephan Braunfels. The rectilinear facade, dominated by white and grey concrete, is interrupted by large windows and high rise columns, the latter supporting the extensive canopied roof. Each of the four corners of the building, connected by a central domed rotunda, is dedicated to a special collection. The Museum is thus divided into Art (Kunst), Architecture (Architektur), Design (Design) and Works on Paper (Graphik).
