캠퍼스 마스터플랜은 열린공간들의 연속된 시퀀스의 집합들로 이루어 진다. 그리고 이러한 집합체는 유기적인 관계를 이루며 서로의 버퍼를 형성, 조닝된다. 여기 WU비엔나 캠퍼스는 건축이라는 오브제; 컨텍스트와 외부환경이 형성하는 다양한 오픈스페이스와의 합성으로 전체 마스터 플랜을 완성한다. 이러한 관계성은 각기 다른 포지션에 위치한 건축물들이 형성하는 바운더리의 교집합, 합집합에서 만들어지는데, 이는 이웃한 건축물 또는 오픈스페이스와 내부 프로그램과의 절충된 합의점에서 발현되는 합리적인 배치를 기준으로 서로 간의 접점 안에서 위치하게 된다. 그리하여 완성된 캠퍼스 마스터플랜은 배움과 연구를 위한 다양한 시퀀스가 발생하는 유기적인 공간이 된다.

The campus is a sequence of interlinked spaces. The buildings on
the various lots qualify the space from an architectural standpoint. The
masterplan model also determines the design of open spaces. A weave of
interior and exterior spaces, defined by the location of access points
with regard to the squares, gives life to the environment.
The open space in the new WU Vienna campus is environment and
context for architectural objects. As environment, it defines margins
and intersections with “neighboring lots” as well as spatial sequences
to form a harmonious whole. As context, it constitutes stations for
active interchange and places for learning and research.

The campus is designed as a “walk along the park”, and in different seasons it leads to sequences of squares that through paths between green spaces, lead to specific areas. The sequences are designed so that each path also becomes an existential journey. Fundamental to the quality of the site is the permanent visual relationship with Prater Park, ever green in its presence.
Campus Program
In addition to the social functions of the University of Economics, the campus also addresses community activities in urban life, whose revaluation impacts positively the immediate area and the region. These premises included in a broader context are described in detail in the manuals on the Masterplan for Architecture Competitions. The technical conditions for the campus are described in the documentation related to the guiding concept for the Integral Masterplan, and specific reports of the various specialists. This section describes the spatial configuration of the campus from the multidisciplinary perspective.
The spatial parameters mainly consist of the articulation between the urban space and the University through a green border and its transition to the campus area, the formation of a sequence of six squares with different atmospheres inside the area and the definition of each building site with a mixture of different materials and specific spatial qualities of the particular spatial and functional program, but articulated with the entire campus.
Green Boundary Around the Campus
The entire campus is bordered by trees and shrubs, that is, a natural green boundary. This is the filter to the city, to Prater Park, and to immediate vehicular traffic. Through six access points and five paths, it is possible to enter, traverse, and leave the campus 24 hours a day.
Inviting users to a longer stay after school or research conferences was a notion established through a strategy of activities on the ground floors of the buildings, related to the surrounding squares and in interaction with each building.
WU performed the allocation of various institutes according to their functional requirements. Executive Academy special functions, specialized libraries, administration, the Central Library and the Mensa Study Center, Auditoriums Center, and external services characterize the corresponding squares with their different patterns of use.
