Augarten is a 52,2 ha complex inside the city of Vienna with incredibly rich history and varied heritage that still remains hidden. It holds the northernmost pair of Flak Towers that besides defending the city from air attack during WWII were meant to celebrate the never achieved Nazi’s victory over the Allies. Under the oppressive presence of these indestructible towers, different public and private institutions have been gaining space to the park, breaking it up. The intervention wants to fix this situation, making Augarten a more coherent and vibrant park by revealing its powerful historical traces: letting its brightest memories shine while also dealing with its darkest.
