Lightcolumns
Vienna
The redesign of the Favoritenstrasse in Vienna's 4th district was the task of a competition launched by the City of Vienne in 2001. The winning project featured different columns with the same shape and size, which dealt differently with the application of light.
Two types finally got realised: one got adapted for a large Viennese advertising company as a lit advertising pillar and the other one is a so-called green pillar - overgrown and flooded with light from within. Since the successful use of both types the area of application has already been extended to almost the entire urban area of Vienna.
