Rolf Gutbrod: German Embassy Vienna, 1959C–1964

  • Vienna, Austria, Show on map
  • #GOV #Western Europe
  • Ensemble of light-flooded, transparent buildings with a terraced inner courtyard. The surfaces formed glass and exposed concrete, quartzite and shell limestone, chrome and teak.

  • The old embassy building was demolished by September 2020 and will be replaced by a new building on the same site by 2022. 

    This building was included in the red list, published in our exhibition catalog SOS Brutalism: A Global Survey (September 2017). After a status review on September 23, 2020, it was reclassified in the online database from red (endangered) to black (demolished).
