pictorial statistics

  •  
  • INTRODUCTION
  • The Otto Neurath Bibliography Pictorial Statistics covers the period 1925 onwards and starts with the foundation of the Gesellschafts- und Wirtschaftsmuseum in Vienna. First in Vienna, and later in The Hague and Oxford, Neurath and his team developed in a distinctive combination of economics, sociology and its pictorial statistics, the visualization project. Later the pictorial statistics became internationally standardised in the BASIC-English-Books and Neurath starts working on his philosophical idea of an international Encyclopaedia of unified science.
    Included in the bibliography are essays by Otto Neurath on his project, contributions to the pictorial statistics and Isotype, publications about and by the Gesellschafts- und Wirtschaftsmuseum and publications by and on the collaborators/artists of Neurath.

  • The exhibition focuses on Otto Neurath's relationship with architecture and his influence on urban development. Especially his ideas about the democratization of public space and how to reconcile the intimacy and tangibility of the ancient polis with the anonymity and diversity of the global metropolis have been very influential to protagonists like Paul Otlet, Cornelis van Eesteren, Margarete Schütte-Lihotzky and Le Corbusier and resound in mainstream architectural.
