In Vienna, a new tallest building in Austria has been opened

Vienna - A new tallest building in Austria was officially opened today in Vienna. The architect of the 250-meter tall skyscraper DC Tower 1 is the Frenchman Dominique Perrault. The glass giant complements other high-rise buildings in the Donau City business district by the bank of the Neue Donau canal. The previous tallest Austrian skyscraper, Millennium Tower, measured 202 meters.
    "Liquid facade" of the building is meant to harmonize with the Danube, Perrault explained today. It is still unclear whether a smaller 170-meter tall sibling will also rise next to it. A decision on this will be made within two years, revealed Thomas Jakoubek, head of the development company WED.
    The absolutely tallest structure in Austria is the nearby Donauturm tower, which is only two meters taller than the new skyscraper.
    In the Czech Republic, the title of the tallest building is currently held by the AZ Tower in Brno, which measures 111 meters. However, the tallest building in Europe is located in Moscow. The Mercury City Tower there measures 339 meters. The tallest building in the world is the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, standing at 828 meters.
