Víctor Larripa Artieda, professor at School of Architecture, shares his experience and photographs of the trip: "We have visited Vienna, a city steeped in history, culture and architecture. Its architecture, in fact, accounts for the different periods and important historical moments of the city: from the baroque of Fischer von Erlach to the imposing architecture of the Ringstrasse, built in the second half of the 19th century. From the mastery of the famous architect Otto Wagner, present in its churches, palaces, subway stations and post office, to the groundbreaking style of the buildings and works of art of the Viennese Secession. From the radical modernity of Adolf Loos to the works of his contemporaries Hoffman or Frank. All these buildings or architects have been visited and studied closely, without forgetting, also, more contemporary works by Hans Hollein, David Chipperfield or Zaha Hadid, which make up the most recent panorama of the city".
