The Spiraling Library – the national library extension in Hofburg, Austria by PrechteckJune 4th, 2011 by Sumit Singhal
Article source: Prechteck Prechteck’s design for the extension of the national library of Austria located at the Hofburg in Vienna contains a number of cultural facilities including a 1200sqm underground core exhibition hall, a smaller 600sqm multifunctional hall, creative studios, a restaurant and shops.
The design is to be seen as an extension of the bordering park and takes off at its north-west end to cross over the fire / drop-off lane on +4.50m with a twist an arches back to the ground level to melt into the landscape. All of the mentioned facilities are housed in one seamless structure, creating at each point a different spatial experience towards the Hofburg and directs its visitors intuitively to the foyer and into its programs. for further informations go to prechteck.com Contact Prechteck
