... Great view of a unique building which houses a big collection of the the historical Flying Bulls aircraft fleet and a collection of Formula 1 race cars... a special feature of this historic collection is that all of the Flying Bulls aircraft, regardless of age, are still airworthy... inside the Hangar, the transparent shell seems to open into an endless sky above the airplanes... looking from the outside, the metaphor of a wing comes to mind... it also houses the Michelin-starred restaurant Ikarus, two bars and a lounge... due to its extraordinary architecture, Hangar-7 became a distinctive new landmark in the city with around 200.000 visitors a year... Dustin used a wonderful mini sheet about 100 Years of Women's Suffrage in Austria👍... Big Thanks once more Dustin for thinking if me while on vacation!(✿ ♥‿♥)
Designed by the architect Volkmar Burgstaller, Hangar-7 opened its doors in 2003, after a planning and construction phase lasting just four years.
For construction of the building 14,000 cubic metres of concrete, 1,200 tonnes of steel and 7,000 square metres of glass were used. The glass was processed into 1,754 different-sized and to some extent specially curved panes.
Hangar-7 itself stands on an area of 3,700 square metres, and its superstructure covers a total area of 4,100 square metres. The hall is around 100 metres long, 67 meters wide and 14.5 meters high. The length of the silicone-filled glass joints amounts to 16 km.
