INNOVATIVE FACADE TECHNOLOGY

After nine months of installation work, the facade of the Ars Electronica Center (AEC) in Linz was completed right on schedule at the beginning of 2009 for the city’s year as the European Capital of Culture. The AEC now has one of the largest illuminated facades in Europe and while its architecture blends in perfectly with the cityscape, its outer skin serves as a multimedia design surface, which simultaneously underlines the uniqueness of the Museum of the Future. The guiding principle was the creation of a sculptural building with a structure that can be both entered and experienced.
