Art in architecture

With the implementation of residential developments, BUWOG plays a role in designing public space and shaping the cityscape.

Aware of the enormous responsibility that this entails, we find creative solutions that concern innovative technical factors as well as architecture and artistic approaches immensely important.

Integrating art into housing provides a particular opportunity for enhanced communication. Art can remove people from routines in their daily lives, stimulate thoughts and ideas and provide long-term enrichment to life in the building it occupies.
