The Medical University of Vienna – together with its teaching hospital, University Hospital Vienna, – is one of the world’s best-known and most richly traditional medical training and research facilities. Collectively, they form a distinct district that shapes the surrounding cityscape. This built fabric, which has developed over the course of around 250 years, has now been photographed by Stefan Oláh. The book offers a visual parcours through these places of medical knowledge and activity. It also reveals aspects that are otherwise hidden. This aesthetically impressive diagnosis is enhanced by an investigation of the subject from the perspectives of cultural and scientific history.
- A glimpse behind the scenes of the AKH and MedUni Wien in a series of images by Stefan Oláh
