Gallery Philosophy

Gallery „Architectural Design 1900“ is mainly focused on the great architect designers at the turn of the century 1900, concentrating on artists far ahead of their times, whose modern, partly revolutionary designs can be qualified as „Bauhaus before Bauhaus“.

We present a wide selection of historically important and well documented works of art by famous architects from Vienna to Glasgow.
