Brief Description : The Kunsthalle art museum has traffic flowing around it on all sides. Previously, the overriding impression was that the surrounding green area had the inherent quality of a buffer zone. However, the area is also tha start of the Naschmarkt and its point of connection to Karlsplatz. A landscaped crescent now spreads out in line with the spatial flow. A ridge of green that runs parallel to the street has an active impact on the urban space, giving the area a sense of stability in the face of the busy main road (Lička, L.;
