The design of the two highrise towers for the Donau-City in Vienna represents the concluding phase of a development extending over several decades: on what was originally a municipal rubbish tip the UNO-City was erected (1973–1979), tentative plans to hold the 1995 Vienna-Budapest EXPO here were soon abandoned. As a result the architects Krischanitz and Neumann (commissioned by WED AG) produced an urban design masterplan for the area in 1992. The outcome is an entirely new urban district with a diverse range of functions. With a total area of some 17.4 hectares and total investment of roughly € 2 billion, the Vienna DC Donau City is by far Austria’s largest real estate development. A total of approximately 1.7 million cubic metres will be built, which equates to about 500.000 m² of gross space. Not quite two thirds of the buildings have been completed. The international competition for the design of the remaining undeveloped third of the Donau City that followed in 2002 was won by Dominique Perrault. To ensure that the development would provide the entire Donau City site with a new kind of urban quality, Perrault’s urban planning guideline project employs a number of different design measures: firstly his project continues from the elevated slab of the Donau City to the banks of the Neue Donau in the form of a generously dimensioned terrace, providing direct access to the river. Secondly, rather than interpreting the two high rise towers as independent buildings, Perrault treats them as the corresponding halves of a block that open with a space-defining gesture towards the city and the Neue Donau. Currently the DC Tower 1 is under construction and will become with its 220m the highest tower in Austria. The construction of the second one is to follow. D.P.
