The guiding architects in Vienna, Ticket-W present their „Architekturplan Wien“ (architecture map of Vienna), which might be called the „missing link“ between city map and architectural guidebook. The publication is meant as a companion for walks through the city, inspiring systematic exploration as well as spontaneous visits.

On 20 map sheets and 10 detailed maps, more than 1.000 objects are localised. The combination of maps and registers allows to plan sightseeing tours, identify specific objects by their address or to find buildings according to individual interests. The selection covers the period from 1900 to the present day, emphasizing the last 20 years with more than two thirds of the objects. The lists include not only architecture but also landscape architecture, urban interventions and site-specific works of art.

In addition to the lists, 100 objects are presented with a photo and a short text: a pleasant mélange of classics and brand-new buildings, insider tips and talk-of-the-town architecture, which entices discoveries as well as second visits. Vienna’s vital architecture community is a true discovery – go for it!
