Despite the complexity of circulation routes and flows, the building’s access systems are organised according to the shortest distance principle. The use of highly transparent materials and the open architectural layout oppose the densification of shapes, while emitting memorable, contemporary visual signals.
The Wienerberg is the low, yet noticeable topographical elevation at Vienna’s south. It marks the city’s southern boundaries and is intersected by the busiest north-south road axis.
