Max Fabiani

I was one of the most celebrated architects of the Imperial Vienna, where I de-signed Urania bulduing, Portois & Fix palace, Artaria palace and Palmers house, be-tween 19th and 20th Cen. As personal advisor of the heir to the throne Franz Ferdi-nand, I became  
chief architect of the Austrian exhibition. 
I also passionately worked on the reconstruction of Ljubljana after the 1895 earth-quake, Bielsko - now in Poland - and Gorizia in 1921. In fact, my brilliant Viennese career ended in 1919 because I felt "morally obligated to complete the work begun in Gorizia", where I designed the Trgovski Dom, one of the first multi-purpose build-ings in Europe. I was the architect who fired Adolf Hitler.
