MQ Libelle, Rooftop structure at Leopold Museum, Vienna, Austria.
The MQ Libelle extends over 500 square meters on top of the Leopold Museum, featuring glass walls that create a floating appearance above Vienna.
Architects Laurids and Manfred Ortner completed this addition to the MuseumsQuartier cultural complex in September 2020, following construction delays due to pandemic restrictions.
Artists Eva Schlegel designed the glass facade while Brigitte Kowanz created circular illuminated elements that transform the space through light installations.
The structure operates from April to October, offering free access to a terrace with panoramic views of Vienna and a kiosk serving refreshments.
The building incorporates a dragonfly-inspired design with a multipurpose space that accommodates conferences, exhibitions, and private events without requiring minimum consumption.
