Three Chunks
Three moments are isolated from the building and studied at increasing scales from 1″=3′ down to 1″=½″. Each chunk captures a critical junction where structure, envelope, and program meet: the roof edge and mesh façade at Chunk A, the structural bay and GFRC cladding at Chunk B, and the auditorium seating wall at Chunk C.
Project Context
YOVIE Youth Orchestra of Vienna is a performance and education center that explores how geometric transformation generates performative space. By splitting, intersecting, and rotating two offset volumes, the design creates a dynamic framework in which a series of auditoriums are stacked and shifted, responding to unique acoustic and sectional needs.
A continuous steel roof wraps the structure in a lightweight envelope, contrasting the heavy masonry of the Ringstrasse. Steel trusses cut diagonally through the mass, carving shared platforms and visual corridors that connect audiences across venues. The technical analysis above isolates three of these moments Chunks A, B, and C showing how structure, envelope, and program resolve at the detail scale.
Structural Section
The color-coded section shows how the primary steel truss, GFRC cladding, mesh façade, and triple-glazed glass operate together each material layer tied to a distinct structural and environmental role.

Sections + Elevations
The longitudinal and cross sections reveal the stacking of auditorium volumes, the depth of the basement rehearsal levels, and the diagonal steel trusses that tie the building's two masses together. The elevations show the mesh façade's layered depth against the glazed lobby below.

Interior
European oak acoustic panels, Austrian wool upholstery, wood wool surfaces, and natural acoustic plaster define the performance interior a palette of locally sourced, acoustically tuned materials that absorb and shape sound across the auditoria.
