One of the ten largest cultural complexes in the world is being created in the heart of Vienna - The MuseumsQuartier Wien (MQ). At a single locations it offers a cultural experience at a 60.000 square meter. Three building complexes define the site most noticeable where the new Kunsthalle wien takes a central position together with Halls E + G. Spatially, they form the architectural connection between the other two new buildings, the Leopold Museum (left white cube) and the Museum of Modern Art Ludwig Foundation Vienna (right black cube). The design of the MQ is not the work of a single architect, but a team called ARGE Architekten Büro Ortner & Ortner, Manfred Wehdorn. The Austrian architectural firm Ortner & Ortner, which is also attracting international attention with its current projects in Zurich, Dresden, and Berlin, achieved a combination of historic and contemporary architecture with the MQ Wien. Manfred Wehdorn was the expert responsible for the conversion of landmarked buildings in the construction of the MQ. |
