NIKE
Linz
1977


The 'Nike' was planned for the building of Linz Art University; a building that faces the Baroque main square and the Danube and helps form the image of the city. On the roof of the building 7-metre long steel truss carries an unfolded two-part photographic image of the Winged Victory of Samothrace. The photograph is 7.5 metres high and is made of aluminium panels that form a shiny silver background for the grey-brown anodised grid of dots making up the image.
