Controversial windows [Explore 19.01.2023]

The so-called Haas-Haus occupies a key building-site in the centre of Vienna on the "Stock-im-Eisen Platz" adjoining St Stephan's Square. Designed by Austrian star-architect Hans Hollein and opened in 1990, it was the subject of strong controversy both before and after it was built.

Here we see the surrounding historical buildings as distorted reflections in the windows of the rounded facade. The tallest reflection on the extreme right is that of St Stephan's Cathedral with its South Tower.
