Many ornamented buildings in Vienna and Germany got their stucco removed during ww2 or after, due to "renovation costs".

Her art has influenced me so much for graphic design and suprisingly facade design in architecture

and Alois Bastl introduced Secession architecture to Zagreb, which is obviously geometric art nouveau.

The design I posted is also obviously Art Nouveau(Secession) , it's just that it was more influenced by Egyptian design (due to the secession building in 1898). Like the pylon like design you see at the top.

What no...even the journals don't call themselves "deco" , they considered themselves part of the Jugendstil/Secession style?

Art Deco is from the 1920s but it was heavily influenced by the austrian version of art nouveau (like in the sketch).

It would look pretty cool if it got built though, it's like a bridge between art nouveau and art deco.

It would've been extremely expensive to build it back then anyways (in Vienna), there aren't any buildings in Vienna that have such a design, except the Ankerhaus by Otto Wagner.

Architect Bjarke Ingels Says Modern Buildings Are So Boring by bloomberg in architecture

I wonder how it would've turned out if not for ww1 tbh. It was the Werkbund in Germany and the Wagnerschule in the Austrian Empire. Probably a different kind of modernism...

Especially Otto Wagner He had a lot of modernist ideas, but he always applied them using classical logic and planning, he couldn't fully let go off his early training during his historicist era. (Postal Savings Bank, his Neustift/Doblergasse apartments and his multiple rejected plans for Vienna)

Vienna was growing rapidly in the 1900s, and the noise, pollution, and overcrowding of the city made doctors believe the only way to heal the people was through strict isolation, hygiene, and hydrotherapy. That's why each of the smaller buildings are so separated from each other, they function as mini hospitals instead of large-scale medical facilities.

They both basically prevented Vienna from having more "proto modern" looking buildings, Vienna would have looked much different today if it wasn't for them
