What is The Wittgenstein House about?
Between 1926 And 1928 The Philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein Designed And Built A House In Vienna For His Sister. Notable For Its Clarity, Precision, And Austerity The Building Not Only Crystallized His Philosophy Of Architecture, But Served As A Foil To His Written Work. This Detailed Investigation Is Based On 30 Years Of Research By Bernhard Leitner, Who Was Instrumental In Saving The Building From Demolition. His Work Examines The Formal Properties Of The Structure, Including Wittgenstein's Attention To Proportion, Color And Detail. The Thorough Photographic Documentation Allows A True Appreciation Of This Icon Of Twentieth-century Architecture; Numerous Sketches, Plans, And Archival Photographs Show The House In Its Original, Unaltered State.--jacket.

Related To Author's Architecture Of Ludwig Wittgenstein, 1973. Includes Bibliographical References (p. [190])
