Vienna: Wirtschaftsuniversität

A friend at Twitter had recently pointed out a building by the renown architect Zaha Hadid: the university library for the university of economics in Vienna. Since this seemed to be interesting, we decided to visit the university which is situated nearby the famous Prater.
On arrival it was obvious that the whole campus of the university was an assemblage of modernist buildings, a playground for architects. I looked it up: the unversity itself was founded in 1898, but the new campus was opened only recently in 2013. "The campus features 6 main building complexes resting on approximately 25 acres (10 ha). The master plan was created by BUSarchitektur under the guidance of the architect Laura P. Spinadel. The buildings of the campus are designed by architectural firms from Spain, the United Kingdom, Germany, Japan and Austria. The dominant element of the campus is the Library & Learning Center, which was planned by Zaha Hadid" (Wikipedia).
Hence the impression we had of a thoroughly cleaned, aseptic area populated by well-behaved, orderly, streamlined students.

Zaha Hadid's library was impressive indeed from the outside, raising the question what it would be like on the inside, since it was not obvious from the building's outlines, how the interior rooms could correlate to the structure. Luckily we were able to enter the building, although we were not registered students, and the interior presented itself with vast labyrinthine, vaguely organic, clinically white structures to get lost in. I told Ursula Stanley Kubrick would certainly have loved to make a film here, and she replied: "I rather think this building is inspired by Kubrick."

Outside a student reprimanded me for throwing a cigarette butt on the ground, which confirmed to me that we had finally entered the Brave New World...
