Christo and Jeanne-Claude, The Wall - 13,000 Oil Barrels at the Gasometer, Oberhausen, Germany, 1998-9
The Gasometers, Vienna, Austria (1896-9, 1995-2001)
Four gas tanks located in Vienna that have been recently retrofitted as mixed use structures by four European architects. Decommissioned in 1984, these monolithic volumes found appeal as destinations for dance-electronica raves before their renovation. Each 90,000 m³ tank contains a unique design that reinforces their national historic building classification. The architects are as follows:
- Gasometer A: Jean Nouvel
- Gasometer B: Coop Himmelb(l)au
- Gasometer C: Manfred Wehdorn
- Gasometer D: Wilhelm Holzbauer
