VMA was invited to submit a proposal for the Aspern Urban Development Information Center as the catalyst for the largest urban development in the Danube region. The briefing centered around a temporary building which would incoporate offices, exhibition spaces, a multifunctional event space, café lounge, and an observation deck to overview the construction site. VMA responded with a modular 3d stacking of container elements defining the exterior architectural form and sculpting out an interior volume slated for the dynamic event space. The container element and the resultant configurations allowed maximum flexibility in adapting/modifying the building shape due to the content/user needs over the expected 10 year building site and would provide a strong brand image for the Aspern region – a landmark in progress.
