Styria Media Center Graz
German
By (author): Judith Eiblmayr Markus Mair Walter Titz
The spectacular Styria Media Center office tower, designed by architects Hermann Eisenköck and Herfried Peyker (Architekturconsult) will be opened in June 2015. The disc-shaped, sculptural media building will have the space for 1,200 employees. The heart of the building is an integrated newsroom with more than 240 workspaces. Other users include Antenne Steiermark and the editors of Kleine Zeitung and Kleine Zeitung Digital on an area of about 3,200 m2.
The building is a strikingly proportioned, recumbent figure almost 60 meters in height that rises upward from a semi-basement. There is a skylobby on the top floor with a conference room and bar, and a rooftop deck offers a magnificent view over the city of Graz. With numerous drawings and construction photos, the book documents the design and construction process of this exceptional building.
