Sammanfattning
CIRCLE TOWER -Transformation & Circular Economy The project is taking place in the 19th district of Vienna, Austria. The APA-Tower, which previously served as an office building, is being transformed into a mixed-use space, with a predominant focus on providing housing. The location holds significant development potential due to its excellent connectivity to public transportation, cycling routes, and its proximity to the city center. Furthermore, the surrounding area has undergone substantial redevelopment efforts, offering convenient access to a range of services such as shops, schools, and sports facilities, all within walking distance. The project’s objective is to revitalize a neglected building by transfomring it into social housing and integrating circular prinicples. Furthermore while also considering social, economic, governmental, and behavioral aspects. This goal will be achieved through various scales of intervention, from the adaptive reuse of the entire structure to smaller-scale space planning. The project seeks to investigate ways how to make use of the city stock and reinintegrate not only a structure but also materials within the urban fabric.
