Europark

The project, covering an area of 120000m² of commercial space plus a parking area that holds 3000 cars, is a suggestive allusion to one element that Austria does not possess, the sea. The powerful character of the canopy that covers the car park is also a large-scale motif. The continuity of this element is counterbalanced by the dynamic layout and the tension that the volumes beneath it are charged with. The force of the interior “voids“ reserved for commercial activities determines this tension. In the southern part of this area, which is full of vegetation, the refined play of reflections created between the large walls, the serigraphed glass of the commercial center and the pool of water crossed by paths, demonstrate again Fuksas' unique constructive sensibility with regard to “light“ and “transparcency“.
