Favourite (interior) architecture project

Rooftop Remodelling in Falkestrasse, Vienna, by Coop Himmelb(l)au: This is an early deconstruction project, exploding beyond what was previously possible. It showed that path-blazing in previously unchartered waters is definitely possible. From that perspective, it saved many architects' lives.
