Long-Distance Bus Terminal + High-Rise Building, AT-Vienna
Urban design, typology, spatial and organizational considerations, as well as structural principles and materiality, form a conceptual unity and lend the building’s architecture — and thus the future long-distance bus terminal — a distinctive and representative character.
Model
The building volumes and the design of their facades create a vocabulary of public, inviting architecture. The building composition evolves consistently from the urban structure of its context. The building volumes differ based on their varying uses and spatial requirements.
Model
The elongated base slab creates a clear architectural relationship between the horizontal base and the vertical tower volume, which stands 90 meters tall in total. The slender high-rise tower stands parallel to the Danube, running east-west, and is thus optimally aligned with prevailing wind conditions, thereby reducing its wind resistance. The new long-distance bus terminal and the high-rise building — visible from afar — are intended to enhance the surrounding area, which includes the cycling stadium, the Stadion-Center shopping mall, and the neighboring residential developments.
