Veech x Veech in Baunetz
Das ORF-Zentrum am Küniglberg in Wien ist der Hauptsitz des österreichischen Rundfunks. Es wurde 1968 bis 1976 nach Plänen des Architekten Roland Rainer überwiegend aus Betonfertigteilen errichtet und gilt unter Architekturhistorikern als Paradebau der Nachkriegsmoderne. Seit 2014 wird der in weiten Teilen unter Denkmalschutz stehende Gebäudekomplex zu einem zeitgemäßen Medienstandort umgebaut. Bei Fertigstellung sollen darin alle Sendeeinrichtungen der Stadt zusammengeführt werden. Bereits in der Zukunft angekommen ist der ehemalige Konferenzraum des ORF-Vorstandes, den das Wiener Architekturbüro Veech X Veech in einen modernen Konferenz- und Mediensaal mit 270°-Blick über die Stadt umwandelte.

Veech x Veech received the German Design Award 2018 in the category Excellent Communications Design/Architecture for “Al Jazeera Network Building – Doha”
VXV’s new landmark structure annexed to Al Jazeera’s pre-existing headquarters provides a platform for interactive news programs for both English and Arabic channels to be directly linked to the London Shard Tower studio. Situated at the core of the new building, the 400 m2 studio features a 360° panoramic hybrid space providing a compelling new vision for how architecture, studio design, broadcast media and digital technologies can make production and distribution faster, responsive and more efficient.
Jury statement
The dynamic roundness and clear design aesthetic of this congenially transparent, open and light-looking building are carried over to the interior and are reflected here by both the interior structure and the design of the furnishings.
The German Design Award sets the highest standards when it comes to selecting the prize-winners: in the nomination process, panels of experts from the German Design Council invite only those products and communication design services to participate in the competition that demonstrably set themselves apart from their competitors thanks to their design quality.
