Neue Universität (New University - Science Faculty)

Universität Salzburg

About

Every building designed by the architest Hans Hollein seems a bit too manneristic and representative for the tasks of a modern building. There are discussions about this every time Hollein designs a building in Austria. A wonderful example of the dissension of representation, the fondness for big dimensions and the claims of users is the Science Faculty, constructed in the 1980's and quickly dubbed 'Hitler's Palmhouse'. This can be reached in about half an hour from the city centre on foot. There is an extremely nice recreation area around the building.
