Özet
Bu çalışma, Otto Wagner (1841-1918) tarafından tasarlanan ve Viyana’da inşa edilen Postsparkasse (Posta Tasarruf Sandığı) binasına (1903-1906, 1910-1912) odaklanmaktadır. Postsparkasse’nin cephe tasarım öğeleri ve giriş holü, yapının yükseltilmiş zemin katında bulunan Büyük Gişe Salonu, Küçük Gişe Salonu’nun iç mekân özellikleri incelenmiştir. Çalışmanın amacı endüstri devrimi sonrasında yaşanan gelişmelerin ve yirminci yüzyılın başında Viyana’daki sanat, tasarım ve mimarlık ortamının Wagner’in tasarımında nasıl yer bulduğunu araştırmaktır. Aynı zamanda binanın tasarımının ve bankanın faaliyetleri ile bina içindeki mekânsal yerleşim arasındaki ilişkinin incelenmesini de içermektedir. Bu bağlamda yirminci yüzyılın başında Viyana’nın sanatsal ve mimari ortamı hakkında kısa bilgilere yer verilmekte, ayrıca endüstride geliştirilen yeni yapı teknikleri ve malzemelerine değinilmektedir. Wagner’in önceki banka tasarımları Wiener Giro-und Kassenverein (1880) ve Länderbank’taki (1882-1884) yaklaşımlarına ve modern mimari üzerine yaptığı çalışmalara genel bir bakış sunulmaktadır. Postsparkasse’nin incelenmesinde cephe tasarımı, yapısal elemanlar, mekân organizasyonu, malzeme kullanımı ve iç donanımlar ele alınırken, Wagner’in kendi çizimleri, teorileri, arşiv belgeleri ve saha araştırması verileri kullanılmaktadır. Cephe tasarımı, iç mimariyle birlikte değerlendirildiğinde, dönemin mekânsal gereksinimleri ve kullanıcı ihtiyaçlarına yönelik olarak işlevselliğin ön planda tutulduğu, biçim ve malzemede bütünlük olduğu ve endüstriyel gelişmelere yer verildiği anlaşılmaktadır. Günümüze ulaşan bu özellikler, Wagner’in Postsparkasse tasarımının, Viyana’nın modern yüzünü yansıtan öncü örneklerinden biri olarak sembol haline geldiğini göstermektedir.
Abstract
This study focuses on the Postsparkasse building (1903-1912), designed by Otto Wagner (1841-1918) and constructed in Vienna. The design elements of the facade of the building and the interior features of the entrance hall, the large cash hall, and the small cash hall are examined. It is aimed to investigate how the advancements following the industrial revolution, and the art, design, and architectural environment at the turn of the twentieth century in Vienna found a place in the design of Wagner. The purpose of this study also includes an examination of the building’s design and the correlation between the bank’s operations and the spatial layout within the building. Wagner’s original drawings, thoughts, archive documents, and site survey data were used in the analysis. In this context, an overview of the industrial, artistic, and architectural scene in Vienna in the early twentieth century, the effects of the Arts and Crafts Movement, and Art Nouveau are given. The emergence of the Vienna Secession and its role in the development of modernism are also discussed. The Vienna Secession, whose founders included Olbrich and Hoffmann, one of Wagner’s students at the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts, brought new challenges to old styles in the fields of architecture and art to the fore in Vienna. Wagner has an important place in the history of architecture in terms of representing the transition to modernism with the influence of the Vienna Secession, in which he participated between 1899 and 1905. In addition to this, Wagner stands out for closely following the new architectural opportunities brought by the Industrial Revolution, utilizing newly developed building techniques and materials in his designs. Wagner’s architectural production includes a wide range of buildings, including museums, banks, clinics, synagogues, church buildings, houses, commercial buildings, product designs, and urban planning, which reminds a textbook containing the stylistic tendencies of the period covering the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. In this study, to demonstrate the innovative approach in Postsparkasse, an overview of Wagner’s works on modern architecture, and previous bank designs such as Wiener Giro-und Kassenverein and Länderbank are given. Facade design, spatial organization, structural elements, use of materials, and interior equipment were discussed in the examination of the design for Postsparkasse, which included the facades, the entrance hall, and the cash halls. Upon evaluation of the exterior design related to the interior design, it can be observed that there is integrity in terms of the materials used and the overall aesthetic form. Compared to the Wiener Giro-und Kassenverein and Länderbank projects, it can be seen that Postsparkasse uses new architectural styles that are far from neoclassical elements that reflect Wagner’s modern understanding. The glass floor in the Länderbank and the glass panels in the Postsparkasse reflect Wagner’s aesthetic evolution, using new techniques in the interior. Wagner emphasized producing aesthetic architecture by integrating art and building knowledge by focusing on the needs of the age; this understanding is embodied in the Postsparkasse design by using aluminium also, the innovative material of the period, as a functional necessity as well as an important part that forms the aesthetic identity of the building. While elements such as aluminium details and double-winged doors increase functionality, the steel-constructed glass roof and ceiling design combines aesthetic and technical elements. It was determined that in designing the Postsparkasse, Wagner prioritized functionality by the spatial requirements and user needs of the era, as well as incorporating industrial advancements in materials, building methods, and systems. Postsparkasse’s interior designs attract attention with their technical innovations such as glass roofs and ceilings. It seems that no single style dominates Postsparkasse; on the one hand, it contains the influences of the Secession, on the other hand, it was designed entirely with Wagner’s original understanding. The simple design in Postsparkasse, while applying innovative construction methods for its period such as cladding on brick walls, the cost at the lowest possible level, and the elements that reflect the structural features on the facade are in parallel with these thoughts. These characteristics indicate that the Postsparkasse building is one of the precursors to modern architecture. Today, Postsparkasse continues to exist as an outstanding symbol representing the modern face of Vienna.
