Explores the rich yet often overlooked architecture of the late Austro-Hungarian Empire and its successor states. Alofsin shows that several different styles emerged in this milieu during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He contends that each of these styles communicates to us in a manner resembling language and its particular means of expression.
