Documenting the emergence of a spectacular and innovative office building in Vienna.
The striking T-center St. Ma rx Vienna was designed and built by the architects, Günther Domenig, Hermann Eisenkock and Herfried Peyker. Recently completed, the project has 119 000 M2 of usable floor space and contains offices for 3000 employees. Unusually proportioned, the building can be describes as a reclining sculpture 60 m high and 255 m long with a 40 m wing cantilevering out. From a town-planning perspective this building represents the first step in the development of a new district on the site of the former St. Marx abattoir and cattle sheds. This book documents the design and building process of this spectacular building illustrated with a large number of detailed drawings and photos of the construction itself.
