DESCRIPTION – Vienna – University of Economics and Business and Viertel Zwei

The new University of Economics and Business on the outskirts of the Vienna Prater was planned by BUSarchitektur and by inter-national star architects and put into operation in 2013. It is not without reason that the new university campus is called an architecture park: in addition to the Library and Learning Center designed by Zaha Hadid Architects, there are five institutes and lecture hall buildings by Atelier Hitoshi Abe/Sendai, CRABstudio/London, Estudio Carmen Pinós/Barcelona, NO.MAD Arquitectos/Madrid and BUSarchitektur/Vienna. The open area is designed as an open urban space with coffee shops and small shops, which offers around 25.000 students and 1.500 university staff a pleasant atmosphere for their everyday life. “Viertel Zwei” is an area located in the immediate vicinity, a new urban quarter with residential use and offices. High-quality architecture (including buildings by Henke Schreieck Architects, Martin Kohlbauer, Atelier Thomas Pucher, Chaix & Morel et Associés, Zechner & Zechner) and high-quality – car-free – urban spaces are the characteristics of this very successful new district.

The itinerary goes through the campus and the individual university buildings, followed by a tour of the residential and office buildings in Viertel Zwei.

Our architecture tailor made tours and design guided visits are carefully planned in order to adapt to each group in particular: from the appropriate architecture guide assignment until the rest breaks, the type of transportation, etc. Plan your visit to Vienna with us! An expert architect guide will show around the amazing city of Vienna, capital of Austria.
