The DC Towers (Donau City Towers) designed by Dominique Perrault will add a decisive accent to Vienna’s skyline. The original design provides for 2 towers obliquely facing each other to create an aerodynamic flow edge while also forming an urban square at street level. With a height of 250 metres, the already erected DC Tower 1 is not only Austria’s highest building, but also a new city landmark. The second, somewhat lower tower is still awaiting construction.
