      @Krass It was completed in 1987. They got around planning by classifying it as art after a meeting with the mayor of Vienna. Art isn't governed by planning law...

      Read about it here:

      Coop Himmelb(l)au's Falkestrasse rooftop "broke every rule"

      Continuing our series reinvestigating deconstructionism, we look at Coop Himmelb(l)au's dramatic rooftop extension on Falkestrasse in Vienna.

      Dezeen (www.dezeen.com)

      It was the photos in this article that allowed me to get the missing information to complete the model. .. and also to realise how many mistakes I'd made...

      Cheers,

              Superb animation, I've never seen one so well done, without a rendering engine... it really shows the advantage of ambient occlusion in SU. It's better than virtual reality. Bravo!

                      That's why it's double posted... I assumed they hadn't been accepted for whatever reason...

                        A very impressive project and not disrespect intended to them but, I end up looking at this sort of project and asking myself, Why?

                            That is some model. Tremendous details. Animation was on point too. I always like native SU output.

                                    Pardon me, not talking about "Why the model", why the building?

                                    Sometimes when architects change an old building I have to ask why the change achieves other than change.

                                      Wow. I love that project. I ve seen that one, some years ago in TV.

                                      Nice to see it in sketchup. I would love to render it.
