Brückenkopfgebäude, Neo-classical monument in Linz, Austria
The Brückenkopfgebäude consists of two symmetrical structures with granite facades and arcaded walkways positioned at both ends of the Nibelungen Bridge.
Construction of the buildings began in 1940 under architect Roderich Fick, requiring the demolition of 274 apartments and displacing numerous residents.
The buildings now house the University of Art and Design Linz, featuring contemporary art installations that reflect on their complex historical significance.
The eastern and western structures underwent extensive renovations between 2015 and 2019, incorporating modern elements such as glass additions and new facilities.
A 12-meter glass elevator called the Transcendence Lift, created by artist Karin Sander, extends beyond the roof of the eastern building.
