Linzer Auge, Steel structure on Danube River in Linz, Austria.
The circular steel platform measured 16.52 meters in diameter and extended over the Danube River near the Ars Electronica Center.
Created for the European Capital of Culture celebrations in 2009, the structure faced technical difficulties and was ultimately destroyed by flooding in 2010.
The platform was designed to function as a rotating stage for theater performances, dance shows, and concerts while providing views of the city.
The platform could accommodate 200 visitors at once and required an electric motor installation after the initial rotation mechanism failed to operate.
The steel construction referenced the name of a traditional Austrian pastry, Linzer Augen, and after its destruction, the materials were melted down completely.
