WIEN MITTE VIENNA 2013 — The Wien Mitte train station is just a few minutes’ walk from Stephansplatz, the historic city centre. The train station itself is a hub for all the major local transport lines. This is where Wien Mitte, The Mall is being built: on 17,000 square metres, the centre covers the tracks beneath, architecturally framed by an angular glass block that forms a large U open to Marxerbrücke together with the existing market hall. The enclosed area within is characterised by two sculptural structures, “the glass banana” along the market hall and “the ski boot” towering above the ensemble as a J-shaped high-rise.
