Impuls Center IP.ONE
Away with the gray concrete towers! We work in orange!
IP.ONE by BKK-3 strives for a new typology of office buildings. The successful completion of the next building, IP.TWO, on a lucrative site along Vienna's Ring Road speaks to their accomplishment in this search. But let's return to where it all began. You wouldn't wish the plot of IP.ONE on your worst enemy. Matzleinsdorfer Platz in the Favoriten district is complicatedly connected to its surroundings. Gray housing and office functions stretch out for miles, where you would hardly find oases of cafes or restaurants. In such a situation, the building must rely on itself. Ideally, it should be a revitalizing element for its surroundings. The orange crystal shines in the surrounding gray development, spreading good mood and attracting the curious.
The colorful solution provides the building with a signaling effect and the power of a symbol. It adds emphasis in a certain urban environment and is often associated with the concept of work, stemming from the ancient industrial era, thus referencing contemporary opinions and terminology. The working environment is undergoing rapid transformation. Serial production, fixed working hours from "nine to five," and established employment relationships are declining. Networked structures as organizational forms with equal hierarchy and flexibility are on the rise.
BKK-3 has made a name for themselves with their own response to the theme of contemporary housing. In Sargfabrik and Miss Sargbarik, they have newly interpreted the concept of the residential building, taking into account demographic developments, lifestyle, and social consequences.
The authors have embedded the theme of work into the initiation center IP.ONE, reflecting the zeitgeist spatial concept. We live in a time of uncertainty and transitions. The industrial age is coming to an end. Today’s tertiary society is only just beginning to take the steps that have been assigned to it. Netz-Wert economy was first described by theorists, which means we lack long-term experiences and specific transformations of the rapid changes we are experiencing.
IP.ONE was conceived as a continuation of the development of former production yards, embracing new tendencies and currents without falling into elitism or complacency. Utility value and adaptation to the wishes and needs of the builder were of utmost importance. The layouts remain flexible enough to allow freedom for each tenant. Here, there is a lack of the rigidness of traditional standardized office architecture.
IP.ONE provides shelter for a colorful mix of companies from the fields of services, internet, production, rentable seminar rooms, and restaurants. Another theme of IP.ONE was to connect with the tenth district of Vienna. Modern office buildings should not be a sterile, self-absorbed world where the lights go out at 5:00 PM, but rather a fluid socio-architectural creation.
The boundary between work and leisure is blurring. People who work here randomly meet in the ground-floor restaurant, and presentations for the public are held in seminar rooms. The place comes alive even outside traditional working hours. The international restaurant SLASH (a white, bright, and airy place to eat and meet) is an example of new architecture of sensibility. Architects may be speaking to us from the opposing pole of technological advancement, trying to compensate for the senses to some extent and defend something as old-fashioned as the human scale.
