A Lovely and Original Roundabout in Vienna (Austria)

in #architecture5 years ago

This is one of the most peculiar roundabouts I've seen so far. It's original name is Kreisverkehr Obere Augartenstraße (cough, cough), which means Upper Roundabout of the Augarten Street. (It's right next to the Augarten Park.)

There's no purpose to this structure other than a purely decorative one. I think it's really cute, specially with the vines entangled around its columns.

I also found it amazing how the cable trolley cars passed underneath it. Very cool! 🙃

What do you think of this? A cool idea? A waste of taxpayer's money? Both?

The first thing I've noticed are the cable passing under it, quite interesting.
Thank You for sharing @trincowski.
edit: it's kind of bringing all the surrounding area to a point...

Yes, it's a nice piece of architecture. And it sure looks cool!

I live near St. Louis, Missouri, USA. Reminds me a little bit of our Arch. Interesting structure, I'm having a hard time thinking what to make of it

Ahahaha. Don't think, then. Just appreciate it! 😉

It's really huge which is made of concrete I think.. I am trying to find the concept behind this structure...Loving this huge structure...

Thanks for stopping by, @priyanarc!

Very preculiar! how on earth did they come up with this? Must be for decoration.

I have no clue. Architects and their wild ideas. 😂
