Urban Development:
In the densely built district with its closed block structure the site of the Kaiserin-Elisabeth-Hospital, with its historic pavilion structure is generating urban quality. This loose development connects the Kardinal-Rauscher-Square in the north with the track field of the western railway line in the south which is currently in a restructuring process.
The urban development goal is to preserve the urban qualities of the site but at the same time achieve the required density of the space program.
