DC Tower 1
Together with the Viennese architectural firm Hoffmann & Janz, the French architect Dominique Perrault designed an ensemble of two high-rise buildings on the edge of the Danube in the heart of Vienna’s new business districts. Werner Sobek was responsible for the structural engineering as well as the facade and height access planning for this extensive project.
