Varietas, Mediocritas and Annehmlichkeit : The Reception of the Classical Tradition in the Work of Josef Frank and Its Viennese Context

[摘要] The theoretical work of the Viennese architect Josef Frank (1885–1967) illustrates a continuous reflection on the Italian Renaissance tradition. This study seeks to gain new insights into Frank’s complex and optimistic 20th-century ‘classicism’ and to identify the Renaissance categories Frank used in his written, and to a lesser extent, in his built work as authoritative instruments in his search for a modern architecture.
