"DC Tower 1, which is currently Austria's tallest building, offered the French architect Dominique Perrault the opportunity to create a new landmark for Vienna. Located directly on the Danube and visible from miles around, the slender tower provides a strong link between the new urban distric and the historical city centre while drawing Vienna closer to the water. The tower's elegant, versatile appearance and its highly complex technological inner workings have been captured by the Austrian artis Markus Krottendorfer in a photograhic essay which also delights in some of the more unusual aspects of the building. The story of the development and the vision of this project, which is also highly important in urban design terms, are the focus of conversations which the Austrian architectural journalist Christian Kühn held with Dominique Perrault and the real estate developer Thomas Jakoubek."--Page 4 of cover.
