Located in Vienna, Austria, this multifunctional building serves as headquarters for the GPA (Gewerkschaft der Privatangestellten, the union of salaried employees) alongside a youth center and residential apartments. Designed by the influential Austrian architectural partnership Coop Himmelb(l)au—founded by Wolf D. Prix and Helmut Swiczinsky—the structure exemplifies the firm's distinctive deconstructivist approach. The building integrates office, community, and residential programs within a single complex, reflecting both the practical needs of its primary tenant and the architectural philosophy of its creators, who were known for dynamic, fragmented forms that challenged conventional architectural language.
