3 photo: Dirk Verwoerd photo: Dirk Verwoerd Gasometer City Guglgasse Vienna These 4 gas holders, known as gasometer were built in 1896 as part of the gasworks at Simmering After they were closed down, the 4 historic towers were renovated, converted into apartments, shopping malls and offices and reopened in 2001 When they were built, the gasometers were the largest in Europe They are listed by the country s heritage ministry as outstanding examples of industrial architecture The renovation goal was to reuse the external façades of the existing buildings, avoiding total demolition of the building and minimizing the generation of demolition waste The gigantic size of this construction project is illustrated by the fact that Vienna's Giant Ferris Wheel would easily fit into each of the four 75-metre high gasometers Project is public! m² Main designer, Coop Himmelb(l)au Jean Nouvel Manfred Wedhorn Wilhelm Holzbauer City of Vienna Bjorn_Utpott photo: Dirk Verwoerd There are very different opening hours for different functions, like the cinema, shopping malls, offices to see it all, visit From Westbahnhof take U-bahn U3 directly to the Gasometer, with direction Simmering (about 20 min) 3

7 photo: Hertha Hurnaus photo: Hertha Hurnaus ma 48 Lidlgasse Vienna There are not just "service buildings", but structures that create a sense of identity The strong lines of the compact cubic structures are enhanced by flush windows and anthracite-coloured cladding made of copper-titanium-zinc alloy The very dark colour of the velvety metal sheets gives solid presence to the building, and slight surface irregularities add an element of liveliness An important contrasting design feature is the large floor-to-ceiling window on the top floor The clear run of glass up to the top line of the building creates a cut-out effect The inset roll-up doors on the ground floor provide visual tension, as they are the only planes that are not flush with the exterior building wall photo: Hertha Hurnaus Project is public! m² caramel architekten caramel_architekten 7
