Roland Rainer

Born in Klagenfurt, Roland Rainer decided to become an architect when he was 18, so he studied at the Technische Hochschule in Vienna (now TU Wien).

Then, he left Austria visiting the Netherlands and the German Academy for Urban Design in Berlin.

After World War II, he returned to Austria and continued writing, including his most famous work Urban design prose.

From 1954, Rainer led the Master School for Architecture at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna.

On July 1, 1958, Rainer was commissioned with the development of the zoning plan by the town council of Vienna.
