Studio Terrain: loenhart & mayr designed panoramic tower on the river Mur in Austria's Styria region. The architects drew inspiration from the double helix, which Emperor Maximilian built a castle in Graz in 1499. This structure is made from two polygonal stairs connecting the top.
Interestingly, the tower, despite its geometric and rational language, is in harmony with the surrounding park landscape. The structure is made of cells with a rectangular section, supporting the two (aluminum and steel) ladders. Thick bars reduce the vibrations from walking visitors or wind. In general, the tower 27.5 m high, weighs 87 tons and has a diameter of 8.7 m.
