The rebuilding and extension of the so-called Gasometer, four cylindrical gas tanks built in the 1890s, is an urban mega-project undertaken by the Wien city council. This formerly industrial area was subject to a large-scale transformation and revitalization - a typical post-industrial phenomenon. This project provides a student hall of residence, a council archive, an event hall for 4,000 people, numerous offices, an underground car-park with 900 spaces, the obligatory shopping mall connecting the four buildings, and over 600 apartments. Several architects of international renown were invited to participate in the design, and Coop Himmelb(l)au, Wilhelm Holzbauer, Jean Nouvel and Manfred Wehdorn were all involved in the planning. Gasometer B, designed by Coop Himmelb(l)au, is notable for its transformation on both the inside and the outside. A shield-like building reclines against the existing structure in a succinct gesture to the old listed buildings. A large, airy courtyard in the centre of the Gasometer reacts to the essential unsuitability of the building. Light and air is thus provided via this cylinder 72 metres (235 feet) in diameter. Despite criticism of many aspects, including the lack of vegetation, bad housing quality and traffic noise, there has been high demand for the apartments.
