Beautiful new world

Cordula Alessandri

Vienna University of Economics and Business (WU) can trace its roots back to 1898 and the former Royal and Imperial Export Academy in what was then Palais Festetics. Since then lots of water has passed under the Reichsbrücke bridge – in 2013 the WU opened an ultra-modern campus in the Prater on the other side of the Danube. Alessandri was entrusted with creating a new corporate design for what is now the largest business university in the whole of Europe, 110 years down the line.
