for his project on the conversion of the Harter Plateau apartment
blocks in Linz Leonding, Austria.
The two Highrise-Superblocks in the
outskirts of Linz, Austria were constructed in the early seventies
as a part of a huge suburban/urban development scheme. Due to
various reasons this development plan was modified after the
first high-rise construction was completed, and since then these
superblocks have become irritating elements in the small-scale-dominated,
suburban cityscape. |
