Modern Architect Design

Studio Terrain: loenhart & mayr designed panoramic tower at River Mur in Austria's Styria region. Architects have drawn Inspiration from the double helix, which the Emperor Maximilian built in the castle of Graz in 1499. This structure is made of two polygonal stairs connecting the top. Interestingly, the tower, despite its geometric and rational language is in harmony with the surrounding park landscape. The structure is made of cells with a rectangular section, supporting two (aluminum and steel) ladders. Thick bars reduce the vibrations from walking visitors or wind. Total tower 27.5 m high, weighs 87 tons and has a diameter of 8.7 m.
