The Mariahilferstrasse 13 plot wraps the corner of one of Vienna’s most bustling shopping streets and a narrow connecting alley. The floor by floor twisting action of the design engages this corner with a dynamic lattice system. The interplay between transparent and solid facets further animate the building while revealing its structural hierarchy. The device for twisting the structure generated hyperbolic surfaces that wrap the building envelope as well as the interior spaces creating opportunities for functional space in the design. The exercise captures this main corner with three techniques. Vector rendering, Mental Ray rendering and Maxwell rendering.
