Reminiscent of a giant oil-tanker whose monumental, south-facing flight of steps makes contact with Urban Loritz Platz, the new “Main City Library and Central Administration of Vienna’s Municipal Libraries” rises above the U6 tracks on Neubaugürtel right beside Otto Wagner’s Burggasse station – a good example of urban condensation.
