wienarchitektur.at The design sketch by Pritzker laureate David Chipperfield encompasses the essence of this building: 45 black squares. They symbolise the characteristic window openings of this Peek & Cloppenburg chain department store situated on 3 plots amidst the lively Kärntnerstrasse pedestrian zone. The design was the winning entry for an invited competition, prevailing over designs by such notable architects as Richard Meier, Raphael Moneo and Eduardo Souto de Moura.
