Summary:
Set within the cultural and political world of Vienna from the fin-de siecle to the present day, this book provides an insightful analysis of the city's extraordinarily rich architectural tradition. Beginning with Wagner’s polemical manifesto, ''Moderne Architektur'', it stresses the importance of the fraught and highly polarized cultural politics that engulfed Vienna for most of the twentieth century and ultimately produced much of what is modern in every field of culture and science. The book also places architectural history within the context of the political economy that has shaped Vienna and highlights the relatively unknown tradition of Viennese social housing, initiated by social democratic Red Vienna in the 1920s. Today, 60% of Vienna’s population lives in the most successful social housing in the world.

Summary:
À la fin de la première guerre mondiale, le gouvernement français a planifié la construction d'un « double » de Paris, une fausse ville destinée à leurrer d'éventuels pilotes allemands en route pour bombarder la capitale. La fausse ville, dont la construction était prévue près de Maisons-Laffitte, au nord-ouest de la capitale, reproduisait certains éléments marquants du paysage parisien : un bras de Seine, la place de l'Étoile et celle de l'Opéra, les Grands Boulevards. Certaines cibles que les aviateurs auraient cherché à repérer, comme les gares, devaient également être reproduites. Conçu à une époque où les aviateurs naviguaient sans radar et pouvaient être trompés, de nuit, par de fausses illuminations, ce projet n'a pas fait la preuve de son efficacité... Xavier Boissel dévoile les détails de cette ville-leurre dans un texte fourmillant et littéraire, agrémenté de documents d'époque inédits.
