His ancestors with German surnames Wiesner actually came from Austrian which had migrated to Malacky before the unification of the two Kingdoms. After the World War I he worked as an independent architect in the city of Brno, until 1939. Wiesner was a very active architect in the city between the World Wars.
His work was greatly influenced by Adolf Loos and his pure constructions with their classicized balance and monumentality are amongst the best works to be constructed in Brno at that time.
Afterwards Wiesner emigrated to Great Britain where he joins the foreign anti-fascist resistance. After World World War II he stayed in England.
During 1948-1950 he acted as a lecturer in the School of Architecture at the University of Oxford and during 1950-1960 at the University of Liverpool. In 1969 he was nominated to the rank of honorary doctor by the University of January Evangelista Purkyně (now Masaryk University) in Brno.
