	Jean Nouvel, Coop Himmelb(l)au, Manfred Wehdorn, Wilhelm Holzbauer - Four Gasometers and More:: arcspace.com
		The four historical Gasometers, built between 1886 and 1899, originally housed the tanks for the gas supply of Vienna.
		When Vienna converted its gas supply to natural gas between 1970 and 1978, the gasometers became obsolete and the technical equipment of the gas tanks was consequently dismantled.
		Besides the center situated at the Danube, the Gasometer project is a second local urban center creating a tension between the city’s historical core and new developments.

	Vienna, Gasometer City, J.Nouvel, Coop Himmelb(l)au, M.Wedhorn, W.Holzbauer
		Gasometer City is built in a sort of shopping mall construction in which straight stretches - the walkways outside the gasometers - alternate with covered plazas constructed inside the buildings.
		Coop Himmelb(l)au, on the other hand, addresses the subject with that controversial alienating impact that is the most recognisable aspect of its style: the design solution, which incorporates a large underground auditorium, prefers the deconstructivist approach, constructing a sort of bent "shield" which doubles part of the façade.
		This unusual project has been highly successful: almost all the units in Gasometer City are already occupied, and the presence of different functions in the same area means that the development is busy both day and night.
