Following approval of the ‘Wildgarten’ master plan as the evolution of our winning project from Europan 10, urbanization began in the new 10-hectare district in Emil-Behring-Weg (Meidling, Vienna). The landowner (ARE, Austrian Real Estate) commissioned multiple architecture teams as well as different sponsors to develop an edification design. In partnership with the Viennese enterprise for social housing and different cooperatives, a collaborative democratic and plural urban planning process was created.
