Albert Wimmer’s architecture studio was founded in 1977. The realisation of large scale projects such as the “Freudenau” power-station of Vienna, the reorganisation and revitalisation of the Leuven town centre in Belgium, the housing and residential area of “Perfektastraße” in Vienna as well as the “Quarter Helgoland”, the elaboration of the “Corporate Identity-Manuals” for the Austrian Railways and the construction of the sports and leisure park “Tivoli-New” in Innsbruck, the stadium in “Salzburg Wals-Siezenheim”, the EURO 2008-Stadium of Klagenfurt and the EURO 2012-Stadium in Lviv (Ukraine) have been enabled through major successes in competitions.
Major successes in architectural competitions are currently shaping the range of activities: The master plan for the district of the south- and central railway station of Vienna, the new conference centre at the United Nations headquarters in Vienna, the master plan “Eurogate” and “Monte LAA” and the ongoing new development of the new hospital “Krankenhaus Nord” in Vienna.
