Peek & Cloppenburg Flagship Store, Vienna, Austria
The new Peek & Cloppenburg flagship store will be located on Kärtner Strasse, between
Johannesgasse and Himmelpfortgasse, in Vienna’s historic centre, a district protected as a
UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The starting point for the design was the idea of a “building with windows” – a modern, abstract
interpretation of a classical building typology, which is not freestanding but part of the overriding
structure of the urban area. The building will assert itself as tectonically powerful, and
demonstrate a long-lasting and institutional character through the selection of its materials and
proportions, whilst remaining modest and above all becoming an integral part of the street
façade. The defining material for the façade is a light-coloured, finely pointed Danube Limestone
(Donaukalk) – a typical Viennese building material. The façade will be solidly built, corresponding
in its materiality and craftsmanship with the historic context.
The new building volume will close the urban block as a continuation of the neighbouring
buildings. In its rational structure the design ties in strongly with the tradition of late Viennese
department stores. The façade will subtly react to the structure of the neighbouring buildings.
The window proportions and the ratio between closed wall and openings will reflect the historic
neighbouring buildings. The otherwise recessed glass layer will be brought forward on the ground
floor, transforming the wall openings into display windows at street level. On the fourth floor, the
façade will open up to the city through a loggia.
The six sales levels will be accessed from the main entrance on Kärtner Strasse via a central
atrium, flooded by daylight. A translucent glass and bronze structure crowns the atrium in the
tradition of the large department stores of the 19
th
century, acting as a counterpoint to the sales
areas with its textile stock.

This arctic fox had been an education animal at the zoo, but recently he's been placed in a habitat accessible to the public. For some reason, Kodiak became shy when Janice walked up. He's peeking at her from behind a rock.

I took this picture a while back thinking to start submitting to the 52 weeks group. But I never did. I didn't like it enough for it to be my first self-portrait project.
sometimes I wonder what random people's life is like. I sometimes want to peek into their lives.
you can take a peek into our life: ca.youtube.com/watch?v=yqlDCQevOV4
Video recorded for the teachers taking over everything this year. :)
edit: Now I have started the 52 weeks project: http://www.flickr.com/photos/cathycracks/sets/72157606845540308/
