The Wittgenstein House

Bernhard Leitner

In 1926 philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein designed and built a house in Vienna for his sister. The only building designed by Wittgenstein, it crystallized his philosophy of architecture – notable for its clarity, precision, and austerity – and served as a foil for his written work. This detailed investigation of the house is based on 30 years of extensive research. It examines the formal properties of the structure, including Wittgenstein's attention to proportion, detail and color. Also included are archival images showing the house as it was originally built, before numerous alterations.
