===Architecture===
Along with painters and sculptors, several prominent architects were associated with the Vienna Secession, most notably Joseph Maria Olbrich, Otto Wagner and Josef Hoffmann.  In 1897–98 Olbrich designed the [[Secession Building]] to display the art of Klimt and the members of the group, and also by foreign artists, including Max Klinger, [[Eugène Grasset]], [[Charles Rennie Mackintosh]], and [[Arnold Böcklin]].  Josef Hoffmann became the principal designer of exhibitions at the Secession House. The dome and stylized facade became a symbol of the movement.

A group of artists including Koloman Moser, [[Othmar Schimkowitz]], [[Jože Plečnik]], and others, under the direction of  architect  Otto Wagner, decorated two apartment buildings Wagner designed;  the [[Linke Wienzeile Buildings]] in 1898–1899. The building at  Linke Wienzeile 40 is known as ''Majolikahaus'' or Majolica House.  Its facade is entirely covered with [[majolica]], or colorful fired clay tiles in floral designs.<ref>Sarnitz (2018) pages 46–48</ref> The Art Nouveau ornaments of its facade was done  by his student {{ill|Alois Ludwig|de}}.<ref>{{cite book |last=Schacherl |first=Lillian |date=1993 |title=Vienna. Prestel guide|language=en |publisher=Prestel |page=124 |isbn=978-3-7913-1236-1}}</ref>  The other building, ''Linke Wienzeile 38'', is known as ''House with medallions'' because of its decor of gilded stucco medallions by Wagner's student and frequent collaborator, Koloman Moser. The most ornate earlier decoration was removed but later restored.

During this period, Otto Wagner also built extraordinarily stylized stations for the new Vienna urban transport system, the [[Wiener Stadtbahn|Stadtbahn]], which also became the symbols of the Secession style.  The most famous of these is the [[Karlsplatz Stadtbahn Station]] in the center of Vienna,<ref>Sarnitz, August, ''Otto Wagner'' (2016), pp. 33–35</ref> Joseph Maria Olbrich was his collaborator for this project.  The style of these buildings marked a transition toward more geometric forms, and the beginnings of modernism.<ref>Nikolaus Pevsner, ''Pioneers of Modern Design'', Penguin Books, 1960</ref>

Wagner's later buildings built after 1899, including the [[Kirche am Steinhof|Church of St. Leopold]] (1902–1907) and especially the [[Austrian Postal Savings Bank]] (1903–1906, extended at 1910–12), had straight lines and geometric forms, a striking use of new materials, such reinforced concrete and aluminum, and a minimum of decoration on the facade or inside.{{Sfn|Sarnitz|2018|pages=57–71}}

The work of Josef Hoffmann also showed a gradual transition away from floral designs and curving lines. His best-known building, the [[Stoclet Palace]] in Brussels, had a tower of stacked cubic forms, minimum ornament on the facade, and an interior of right angles and geometric designs. The only Art Nouveau elements were the murals by Gustav Klimt.  The Stoclet Palace best illustrated Hoffmann's transition from Art Nouveau toward modernism.{{Sfn|Sarnitz|''Hoffmann''|2018|pages=57–71}}

===Furniture===
Secession architects often designed furniture to accompany their architectural projects, along with carpets, lamps, wallpaper, and even bathroom fixtures and even towels.  The furniture presented by the Secession at the 1900 [[Exposition Universelle (1900)|Paris Universal Exposition]] was particularly praised, and won international attention for its creators, including [[Else Unger]] and Emilio Zago.<ref>Fahr-Becker, Gabriele, ''L'Art Nouveau'' p. 344</ref>

Later in the movement, in 1902, the architect Otto Wagner designed chairs using modern materials, including aluminum, combined with wood, to match the architecture of his Austrian Postal Savings Bank building.  In 1905 Josef Hoffmann produced an adjustable-backed chair which reflected the more geometric forms of the late Secession.

===Glass===
Glass, particularly [[stained glass]] windows, played a significant part in the Vienna Secession. [[Leopold Forstner]] was in important artist in this domain, working closely with Otto Wagner and other architects.  He designed the windows for the Austrian Postal Savings Bank, one of the landmarks of the Vienna Secession style, and also for the [[St. Charles Borromeo Cemetery Church]], the most notable of Vienna Secession churches.

Another notable figure in Secession glass art was Johann Loetz Witwe, who made a striking series of iridescent vases which won a gold medal at the 1900 Paris Exposition.

===Ceramics===
Mosaics of [[ceramic]] tiles were another important element of the Vienna Secession style.  They were used to decorate both building facades and interiors. Otto Wagner used them to decorate the Majolika House, where they served both as decoration and for a practical purpose; the facade could be efficiently cleaned with the use of fire hoses.
