Our cities are characterized by architectural structures from different eras. Some of these buildings are treasured, but others are hated. Against this background, the project deals with the renovation of a building from the 1970s in the heart of vienna. Reading the structure, appreciating its potential and the inherent beauty of the materiality of the existing building provides the basis for architectural intervention.

The building is nestled in between a steep hill covered with lush greenery to the west and the western wall of Albergo dei Poveri to the east. This odd and currently unused space gave inspiration for creating a form that is decisive in its direction and form. With the strong gesture of placing the building in this restricted form the movement and orientation of its surroundings are emphazised. Working, studying and living inbetween history and nature creates a unique environment for students, residents and visitors to enjoy.
