When I surfed the Cosmos – TaiwanFun – Taichung magazine site, I read an article about Taichungs new city hall building. When I was in Taichung two years before, the city hall was still under construction.
The article stated that the building was planned and built by Weber Hofer Partner Architects. I remember that I read this name before on a construction site in Taichung, I’m quite sure about that, because the surnames Weber and Hofer are german names, and I was surprised when I stumbled upon them on my walk through town.
Now I was curious and surfed the website of this architecture company – only to find out that the same company built some buildings in my home town Linz.
The architects are from Zurich, Switzerland, by the way. They use lighting, reflective surfaces and glass in their buildings – and combine them to sometimes quite refreshing designs.
In Linz they built:
Kunstmuseum Lentos next to the Danube – Modern Arts Museum
Energie AG Power Tower – Office Building of Upper Austrias Energy Provider – which is just opposite of my fathers (former) flat
Oberbank Linz – bank office building
Now, they even build links between Linz and Taichung!
