Gasometer City Guglgasse 6 1110 Vienna http://wwwwiener-gasometerat/indexhtmlen 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 Floor area/size 2001 42880 m² Main designer, Client Coop Himmelb(l)au Jean Nouvel Manfred Wedhorn Wilhelm Holzbauer City of Vienna Bjorn_Utpott There are very different opening hours for different functions, like the cinema, shopping malls, offices to see it all, visit http://wwwgasometerat/ From Westbahnhof take U-bahn U3 directly to the Gasometer, with direction Simmering (about 20 min) http://wwwmimoaeu/users/giada/guides/vienna/ 4

Judenplatz Museum Judenplatz 8 1010 Vienna Rachel Whiteread's design for the Holocaust memorial has no obvious points of reference to the remains of a medieval synagogue discovered underneath Judenplatz It is therefore complemented by two other architectural features - the square itself and the Judenplatz Museum in the Mizrachi House, which hosts an exhibition on the life of Vienna's Jewish community during the Middle Ages The square and the adjoining streets now form a self-contained pedestrian area dominated by the Holocaust memorial and the statue of Lessing It seemed an obvious choice to use the old granite paving stones typical for the city centre for the paving; stones of different size accentuate the transitions from streets to square and the street gutters The lighting system installed on the roofs of the surrounding buildings allows an even illumination of the urban space 2003 Jabornegg & Pálffy s http://wwwmimoaeu/users/giada/guides/vienna/ 16

Leopold Museum Museumsplatz 1 1070 Vienna A block clad on all sides with white mussel limestone, 24 metres high and embedded 13 metres in the ground From a distance the single windows give the impression of a private house Only when closer to the building do you grasp that they are actually oversized in format and measure 22 by 38 metres In angled sunlight the block, initially apparently smooth, reveals differently structured surfaces that give the stony mass a curious transparency, the rooms behind seem to shimmer through the facade 2004 Ortner & Ortner http://wwwmimoaeu/users/giada/guides/vienna/ 21

SEG Apartment Tower Kratochwjlestraße 12 1220 Vienna Located between Wagramerstraße and Kratochwilestraße and adjacent to the "Alte Donau" metro station, the 60m high SEG Tower from COOP HIMMELB(L)AU forms in conjunction with two other projected high-rise buildings the new district "Donau City" The tower includes 70 apartments, 9 eating facilities, offices and practices on 25 floors Two major considerations were important for the design of the outer form of the COOP HIMMELB(L)AU building: On the one hand the concept of the tower is based on the idea to put two houses, one on top of the other, in a way such that a common space would occur at the intersection This common space - called a sky-lobby - is then used for the accommodation of a venue, a playground, a "teleworking café" and a sundeck On the other hand the concept of the so-called climate facade was developed, which is the linking and surrounding element between the two components 1998 Coop Himmelb(l)au http://wwwmimoaeu/users/giada/guides/vienna/ 25
