ECE Architecture 2004 – 2008
The continued development of European cities depends on having a future-oriented building culture as an essential foundation. Anywhere that public spaces are being planned, it’s the architects, developers and investors who hold special responsibility. ECE is aware of this and is working in cooperation with the local authorities to develop individual solutions for each location. Here city planning, preservation of historical sites and fine architecture all play a vital role in this process.
This book displays selected projects from the years 2004 - 2008 and thus provides an overview of the entire architectural breadth offered by ECE: including the cathedral renovation, the futuristic shopping center, the corporate headquarters, Vienna’s Bahnhof-City, the logistics center and the sporting arena. Important partial aspects of the architectural process and city planning are investigated in greater detail in text articles and interviews.
