The MQ is at once a cultural archive, a place for experimentation, and an urban recreation centre. The MQ is being created in a revitalized grouping of baroque stables. The area represents a historically Austrian identity in reciprocal synthesis with contemporary architecture. The defining architectonic motif for the MQ- the largest cultural complex in the history of the Republic of Austria - is an exemplary alliance of past and present, the Fisher von Erlach Wing embraces the new buildings and the open spaces and forms a unit with them. |
