The Kabelwerk – A Piece of the City?

Location: Architekturzentrum Wien - New Hall
Lecture: Wednesday 9 May 2007, 6pm
Tickets: Admission free!

On the former-KDAG grounds in Vienna-Meidling a new district is growing that can neither be described as a themed estate in the usual sense, nor as a monofunctional housing estate. In the "wrap-around architecture", the urban configuration of the development is, for the first time in the city's more recent planning history, being dominated by the urban configuration as a whole rather than by individual buildings.

On the basis of a large-scale model, a discussion with the planners concerned and planning analysts focuses on the exciting genesis of the project, from the concept for the overall guidelines to the built reality, as well as addressing the qualities of this new district.
