ViewPoint HafenCity
ViewPoint HafenCity
Completed in October 2013, The ViewPoint was designed as a public vantage point revealing the constantly changing perspective of the construction activities in the HafenCity, Hamburg.
The unusually shaped 13 meter high tower is made of 12 tons of steel and painted in a bright orange. The wavy cut-outs at the top create framed images for the visitors with a constantly changing perimeter to their views. The original idea was to create a temporary and sculpturally powerful landmark within the vastness of the then undeveloped area and ever since it has become a symbol of the emerging and changing character of the urban quarter.
