 Vienna 1900
One aspect of Wagner's relationship to his wife was the belief that she understood him; this served to strengthen him in his conviction that the turning point in his professional career had also come in his fortieth year.
In the final period of his first marriage Wagner wrote to Louise: "No matter where I spend my evenings, even when I am engaged in a passionate discussion of artistic questions in the "Kuenstlerhaus", I am always dissatisfied when I return to my moral prison, otherwise known as my home".
After his wife's death Wagner lived very quietly.

 Whose Necessities are the Only Masters of Art?
Wagner had already begun to work with the proposed site on the Schmelz River in 1910, with his second design for the Academy of Fine Arts (he first design for the Academy of Fine Arts was drafted in 1889).
In his lifetime, Wagner was made a permanent member of the Arts Commission and Council of the Austrian Ministry of Culture and Education, and the honourary president of Association of Austrian Architects and Association of Austrian Artists.
Wagner chose the latter, because he firmly believed it would enhance "the building's accommodation to its purpose." By using iron in the vestibule and in the stairwell, Wagner could limit "as little as possible the certainly desirable open view of the staircase and entrances to the exhibition rooms".

 Otto Wagner and the Steinhof psychiatric hospital: architecture as misunderstanding.(Critical Essay) - The Art Bulletin ...
Wagner included a chapter on this subject in the fourth edition of his Modern Architecture in 1914; see Otto Wagner, Modern Architecture: A Guidebook to His Students to This Field of Art, trans.
It was this that Hevesi was responding to in calling it a "white city." Wagner invoked the ideal of the city built from scratch in nature as a total work of art to connect the psychiatric rhetoric represented by Steinhof with the particularly fin de siecle utopianism represented by places like Darmstadt.
One of the most fertile (yet unstudied) sources of plans for ideal communities in Vienna was the project Wagner assigned to the students in their final year of the master class, known as the Wagner Schule, that he led as professor of architecture at the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts.

 Otto Wagner: The Academy of Fine Arts
Otto Wagner’s design for a new Academy of Fine Arts was among the most important projects in the Viennese architect’s career.
This exhibition unites Wagner’s elaborate presentation watercolors and drawings for the opulent complex with the magnificent three-dimensional gilded model he prepared for both the emperor’s and the mayor’s consideration.
Although his design was never approved, Wagner continued to advocate for the project until 1910, refining his conception through sumptuous drawings that reflect his evolving modernism.

 Otto Wagner: Biography
Wagner's later years were marked by critical acclaim but relatively few major commissions.
In the late 1890s, however, he rejected the eclecticism of his early career and developed a signature approach in which simplified exterior decoration was determined by a building's structure.
But his membership in the Secession prevented the realization of a number of major projects, including the unbuilt Academy of Fine Arts.

 Otto Wagner (Getty Bookstore)
The result is an all-embracing yet concentrated exploration of the parameters of Wagner's expression—a canvas of a period in which the sensualist aesthetic of the late nineteenth century merged with the realist vision of twentieth-century art.
These essays focus less on the visually seductive aspects of Wagner's rich designs than on the cultural, intellectual, and artistic framework within which the architect brought his works to fruition.
As the ten essays in this volume argue, however, a more accurate portrait is achieved when seemingly contradictory aspects of his rich architectural and literary oeuvre are allowed to find their own historical balance.

In 1905 already, for his architecture lessons, Otto Wagner designed a first draft of this villa which he later built slightly changed; he wanted his wife Louise, 18 years younger than him, to live there after his death, but she died in 1915, three years before him, in the villa, so Wagner sold the house.
Wagner built this villa in a historic style on the edge of the Hütteldorf forest to live there himself; here, symmetry is dominant.
