[edit] In the words of the Creator
"The Vienna gasometers were built between 1896 and 1899 at a time when societies were reluctant to exhibit freely their industrial infrastructures. Thus all four gasometers were disguised as buildings by means of enclosures of brick walls topped by glass domes. Considering their imposing silhouettes – about 62 m inner diameter and 72 m height – their arched windows and the detailing of their construction, one would have wondered which kind of buildings those might be. They went out of use in the mid 80’s." - Ateliers Jean Nouvel
