New Landmarks for the city
The DC Towers designed by Dominique Perrault will leave a distinctive mark on Vienna's skyline. Standing 220 metres tall, DC Tower 1 will not only be Austria's highest building but also a fascinating new urban landmark.
The DC Tower combines architectural aesthetics with an advanced 'green' design and functionality. It will be one of the first Austrian office towers to be built and equipped in accordance with the energy and sustainability requirements for 'green buildings' issued by the European Commission.
The DC towers 1 and 2 follow the development philosophy of projects already implemented in the Donau-City as well: pedestrian and traffic levels are situated on different planes. A customised wind tunnel mock-up of the DC Towers and their surroundings was built and subjected to several rounds and types of testing to develop measures for optimising wind comfort in near-ground zones.
