Architect: Johann Staber - Built: 1973 - 1979 - The VIC , designed by Austrian architect Johann Staber, was built between 1973 and 1979 just north of the river Danube. Initial idea of setting up international organization in Vienna came from prime minster Dr. Bruno Kreisky. Six Y-shaped office towers surround a cylindrical conference building for a total floor area of 230,000 square metres. The highest tower stands 120 metres tall, enclosing 28 floors. About 5,000 people work at the VIC, which also offers catering, banking, postal and shopping facilities. Larger conferences can be accommodated in the neighbouring Austria Center Vienna2], a conference and exhibition centre with a capacity of 6000. The VIC is an extraterritorial area. Complementing the ongoing Asbestos removal works in the VIC, a new conference building (“C2”), to be opened in 2008, is being constructed near the southern perimeter of the campus. - Model by: Kathi Mitterer #Arnold_Faller #CTBTO #IAEA #International_Centre #Internationales_Zentrum #Johann_Staber #Lecture #Lehrveranstaltung #OOSA #Studentenarbeiten #Studentwork #TUWien #UN_Sekretariat #UNCITRAL #UNHCR #UNIDO #Unitet_Nation #uno_city #UNODC #VIC #Visualisierungstechniken
