Two hearts, one soul. The purpose of the Center of Technology and Design in St. Pölten is a twofold one: on the one hand, the building is home to the teaching workshops of the WIFI Lower Austria, and on the other it accommodates the teaching facilities of the New Design University St. Pölten (NDU).

One fundamental project goal therefore was to bring together, and unify, different sets of interests in one shared building. Through the shared use between the two institutions, which saves valuable developable land for later purposes, the new building provides multiple possibilities of interdisciplinary communication.

This is also emblematized by the shared foyer which connects and interrelates all facilities, floors, and collectively used areas like break rooms and presentation spaces. As a central communication area, it also directly connects to a newly created entrance plaza, which links the building with the existing WIFI main building. The technology center’s distinctive façade design opens up the interior of the building toward the urban space, affording insights into a symbiotically used living organism.

An essential aspect of the project was to make form and function visible both inside and out.
