Eine Architekturstudie (http://prechteck.com/) für eine Erweiterung der Räumlichkeiten der ÖNB findet gerade auf einigen Architektur-Websites Beachtung:
prechteck’s design for the extension of the national library of Austria located at the Hofburg in Vienna contains a number of cultural facilities including a 1200sqm underground core exhibition hall, a smaller 600sqm multifunctional hall, creative studios, a restaurant and shops.
the design is to be seen as an extension of the bordering park and takes off at its north-west end to cross over the fire / drop-off lane on +4.50m with a twist an arches back to the ground level to melt into the landscape.
all of the mentioned facilities are housed in one seamless structure, creating at each point a different spatial experience towards the Hofburg and directs its visitors intuitively to the foyer and into its programs
