Czartoryskigasse, Wien, Austria
Andreas and Gerda Gerner gutted the structure, to the extent that the statics allowed, and smoothened the building’s external envelope (…) with bays, dormers, external stairways, and architectural ornamentation elaborations. The result is a flat sculpture wrapped all around in a skin of aluminum composite, which leaves behind no traces of the building project’s finely detailed difficulty: a periscope with a fantastic overview of Vienna.
