Gasometer, Vienna, AustriaI think I might have to live in these to get the full effect. These old coal-gas containers were retrofitted into a living community. Behind these giant outerwalls are housing communities for 1600 residents, student housing for 250 residents, a music hall, a movie theater, and some other stuff. The result of which is a unique sense of community that has been the subject of several recent studies. It seems very cool.

Hi John!
Several years ago I visited the Vienna Gasometer. In my honest opinion it's much more impressive from outside. Inside it doesn't look like a place where I want to spend a part of my life for more than 15 minutes... ;-)
Kind regards from Germany to the USA,
Uwe.
