Project Space of Kunsthalle Wien Treitlsstraße 2 1040 Vienna https://wwwkunsthallewienat/ The Kunsthalle Wien in Vienna is a non-collecting art centre which organizes and hosts temporary exhibitions of contemporary art It opened in 1992, and was originally located on Karlsplatz, in a container-shaped building designed as a temporary site by the n architect Adolf Krischanitz In 2001, it moved into a new building in the Museumsquartier, along with other museums from Vienna The Kunsthalle is international in scope and has a remit to exhibit local, national and international artists The temporary building erected in 1992 on Karlsplatz was heavily criticized and debated in the n press It was replaced by a smaller glass construction, which now serves as a "project space" exhibiting emerging artists and special group exhibitions for the Kunsthalle One of the Kunsthalle's two cafes is also located on the old site 2003 Adolf Krischanitz http://wwwmimoaeu/users/ellayao/guides/vienna/ 2
Departments Of Law And Central Administration Welthandelsplatz 1 1020 Vienna This 200 meter long pair of buildings snaking west to east in a series of brightly coloured streaks cheer up the often grey skies of Vienna's Prater district They fold out to form a series of roof decks, they zig in and out to create "sunshine corners" and are occasionally eaten out to create balconies for smokers or others who are needing a break There are routes under that run from the University courtyard to the Prater Park on the south - diving through the red base The building is designed around Cook and Robotham's strongly held belief (based on many years as University teachers) that a lively and successful college building should have generous and engaging internal spaces that are not just seminar rooms or offices, but places to "hang out" and possibly encourage you to stay around after class: so these are carved out of the interior and slither around in a similar way to the building as a whole 2013 CRAB Studio http://wwwmimoaeu/users/ellayao/guides/vienna/ 3

Wien Mitte Landstraßer Hauptstraße 1b 1030 Vienna The railway station Wien Mitte is seven minutes on foot from the historic centre of the city, Stephansplatz The station itself is a hub for all important local transport lines This is where the Wien Mitte Centre is to be created: a slab measuring 17 000 m² erected above the tracks on which the new centre is defined architecturally by an L-shaped glass block that, together with the existing market hall, forms an open U in the direction of Marxerbrücke In the enclosed internal area two sculptural building volumes determine the appearance: the glass banana along the market hall and the ski boot, a hook-shaped high-rise that soars above the ensemble Wien Mitte photo: Ortner & Ortner 2010 Ortner & Ortner http://wwwmimoaeu/users/ellayao/guides/vienna/ 5
Mischek Tower Leonard-Bernstein-Straße 8 1220 Vienna The Mischek Tower was conceived as highlight of the urban Wohnpark Donau City concept and was at the time the highest residential building in This heterogeneous urban location is coined by a densely built quarter respecting distances for pedestrians, provided with an underground stop and underground parking UN City and Centre, as well as the recreational sites Donaupark and Neue Donau are situated nearby and tie in seamlessly with the urbanized area One of the skyscraper's distinctive features is that it does not constitute a solitary building but that it rises out of a stepping residential structure This had been an urbanistic prerequisite which sought to emphasize the site's margin The single horizontal and vertical construction units, and the internal staircase which remains invisible from the outside, form a spatial node which resembles two hands lying in one another The idea behind the facade was to create two shells Floor area/size 2000 50600 m² Delugan Meissl Associated s http://wwwmimoaeu/users/ellayao/guides/vienna/ 6

Teaching Center Welthandelsplatz 4 1020 Vienna The new academic space, located at the north-east of the new Campus of the Vienna University of Economics and Business is as a venue for multiple networking More than a mere building, the Teaching Center is a learning platform that promotes spontaneous communication while also making it possible to undertake the classes and activities that occur within This quest for spontaneous exchange has different levels and scales sharing one common denominator: the path is the goal According to the architect, a contemporary Teaching Center should encourage curiosity in the everyday routine of those who teach as well as those who learn, becoming a place where moving about and getting on stage does not lead to experiencing spatial boundaries by instead giving free reign to the imagination 2013 Supplier BUSarchitektur GIRA http://wwwmimoaeu/users/ellayao/guides/vienna/ 15
