In this book, Eve Blau looks at how that ideological conflict shaped the buildings of Red Vienna -- in terms of their program, spatial conception, language, and use -- as well as how political meaning itself is manifested in architecture. She shows how the architecture of Red Vienna constructed meaning in relation to the ideological conflicts that defined Austrian politics in the interwar period -- how it was shaped by the conditions of its making, and how it engaged its own codes, practices, and history to stake out a political position in relation to those. conditions. Her investigation sheds light both on the complex relationship among political program, architectural practice, and urban history in interwar Vienna, and on the process by which architecture can generate a collective discourse that includes all members of society.
