DEVELOPMENT AREA
5,6 ha
INTERVENTION AREA
1,3 ha
THEME
The project works on two levels: first, it has to manage the conflict of connecting across the railway line by dealing with the topic of a possible bridge (economically and programmatically), and the conversion of areas along railway tracks.
CONURBATION
The EU-expansion makes Vienna the centre of a conurbation between Bratislava, Budapest and Brno. Vienna's social housing which achieved mythical status in the "Red Vienna"/1920s is saturated in the city expansion zones.
SITE
Being squeezed between the railway and a new subsidized housing complex the site communicates with its local neighbour as well as with its federal one – the train.
PROGRAM (at urban and architectural scales)
The site suffers from its disconnection from the fast public transport system (only bus stop available).
