Architectural photographer Marc Goodwin has documented 12 architecture workspaces in Vienna, Austria, as part of an ongoing series capturing studios across the world.
Goodwin, who is the founder of photography studio Archmospheres, went behind the scenes at the Viennese architecture studios following his previous trips to workspaces in cities including Los Angeles, Frankfurt and Berlin.
“From the Viennese Secession of the 1890s to Red Vienna from 1918 to 1934, the city looms large in the imagination of anyone interested in art and architecture,” Goodwin told Dezeen.
“I wanted to know what it was like there today. And this series has been a great way to do that.”
After photographing the twelve studios, Goodwin said he was surprised to discover the city had a relaxed atmosphere compared to others he has visited for his series.
“I’m desperate to move there,” he continued. “Also, the last thing I saw upon completing the final shoot was the flak tower in the Augarten, which I was totally unprepared for. It blew me away. Vienna is full of surprises.”
Goodwin’s images in Vienna document studios including Illiz Architektur, Shibukawa Eder Architects and Nonconform. He said that the city’s relaxed atmosphere was also prevalent within the workspaces.
“I have to say it felt more laid back than many of the offices in the previous series I shot,” he explained.
“They have a good sense of humour about themselves,” he continued. “Shibukawa Eder Architects told me Vienna had just been voted the unfriendliest city or the worst city to live in for the fifth year running. They were killing themselves with laughter!”
