for this project a skyscraper should be built next to the new vienna central station. the concept includes such elements as - group headquarters of the Austrian Federal Railways, other office space, a hotel, shopping and leisure areas, health center and many others.
we saw a problem: a new high-rise location - but not enough building height is possible to play an important role in vienna.
stacked, manageable units result in a building that reflect the modern structures of a company with flat hierarchies better than the vertical gesture of a skyscraper could. this highlights an important aspect - networking instead of hierarchy.
greenery is a vital aspect for projects like this, therefore important indoor and outdoor green spaces are created at the junctions.
