 Vienna 1900
Otto Koloman Wagner was born on July 13, 1841 in the Viennese suburb of Penzing, then still a country village.
Otto Wagner was educated by private tutors and French governesses up to the age of nine; he then attended the Akademisches Gymnasium in Vienna for two years before joining the boarding school run by the Benedictines at Kremsmuenster.
One aspect of Wagner's relationship to his wife was the belief that she understood him; this served to strengthen him in his conviction that the turning point in his professional career had also come in his fortieth year.

 Otto Wagner and the Steinhof psychiatric hospital: architecture as misunderstanding.(Critical Essay) - The Art Bulletin ...
Wagner, who designed both the church and the overall plan of the complex, learned only enough of asylum planners' language to be able to grasp simple ideas, enough to be able to understand the version of their goals that was intended for public consumption.
Wagner's written description of the church stressed the stages through which he aimed to intensify the viewer's attention and focus it on the church and, within the church, on the altar.
Wagner arranged the buildings, as we have seen, on a grid, using paths and landscaping in such a way that the sense of the whole was reinforced by the parts rather than lost among them.

 Belle Epoque - Vienna: Otto Wagner I   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-09)
Wagner, having started his architectural studies in 1857, was (and still is) the most famous Viennese architect of his time; he built the first villa in 1886 and the second one in 1912/13.
Wagner built this villa in a historic style on the edge of the Hütteldorf forest to live there himself; here, symmetry is dominant.
In 1905 already, for his architecture lessons, Otto Wagner designed a first draft of this villa which he later built slightly changed; he wanted his wife Louise, 18 years younger than him, to live there after his death, but she died in 1915, three years before him, in the villa, so Wagner sold the house.

 Whose Necessities are the Only Masters of Art?
Wagner, considered by some of his contemporaries to be von Erlach's "reincarnation", or at the least his spiritual heir, paid respect to von Erlach by modestly subordinating the Historisches Museum to the Karlskirche, but he was not afraid to make it his own, its own.
Wagner chose the latter, because he firmly believed it would enhance "the building's accommodation to its purpose." By using iron in the vestibule and in the stairwell, Wagner could limit "as little as possible the certainly desirable open view of the staircase and entrances to the exhibition rooms".
Wagner may have rejected aristocratic notions of historicist "high art", (since he was excluded from this club by birth), but the "everyday life" that he replaced it with was the everyday life of the bürgerlich, the upper middle classes, not that of the masses.

 Otto Wagner's Stadtbahn Pavilions   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-09)
Otto Wagner, the pioneering architect of Vienna's Art Nouveau era, was the designer in charge of the construction of Stadtbahn, a rail service running underground in some sections, as an elevated system in others, around 1900.
Wagner's Stadtbahn lines were converted into new subway lines, one of them ("Vorortelinie") into a rapid transit line (S 45, since 1987).
Otto Wagner's large bridge spanning Wienzeile and the Wien River was also preserved; it is now used by the new U6 subway line, basing on the former Stadtbahn line on the Gürtel.

Wagner's design, in these dual senses, strives for a concordance between the aristocratic spectacle of cultural ennoblement and the bourgeois drama of utilitarian realism; consequently it is not at all surprising that he should never employ fully naked iron members.
For Wagner, modern architecture as a form of individuality was constituted by heterogeneity amidst anonymity, an axiological dialectic that denied closure in any strict set of forms.

It is possible that Wagner chose the Vienna town gates as an example for these stations.
Both pavilions on the Karlsplatz are a preferred photographic subject of Vienna visitors which is not astonishing because of their extraordinary beauty and because they are remarkable examples of Art Nouveau even if it is not the typical Vienna Jugendstil.
Otto Wagner, on one hand, had to show consideration of the Saint Charles Church (a baroque horribleness, if you'd excuse me) in order not to block up the free sight of it; on the other hand, it seems that the Exposition Hall of the Secession has had some positive influence.

 The Musical Times: Braut und Schwester bist du dem Bruder   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-09)
As ‘the husband of Wagner’s muse’, Otto’s fame is in fact that of the cuckolded husband: a stock figure of fun as old as the comic stage.
The answer cannot lie in Otto’s musical tastes, for these were both Classical and non-Wagnerian — Wagner once even wrote mockingly to Mathilde, promising to compose a cadence every eight bars to satisfy her husband.
Perhaps Otto does fit the cliché, beloved of Hollywood and the tabloid press, of the older man powerful in the world, yet ruled at home by his younger wife.

 WAGNER, DEVELOPMENT OF A GREAT CITY
Otto Koloman Wagner (1841-1918) is rightly regarded as one of the pioneers of the modern movement in architecture.
Wagner was a native of greater Vienna and studied architecture there at the Vienna Polytechnic and the Vienna Academy of Arts as well as in Berlin at the Königliche Bauakademie.
In these and later projects Wagner demonstrated an ability to move beyond the styles of the moment in pressing forward to find design elements that were more expressive of modern society and technology.
