这座建筑坐落在克里姆斯小镇上，就在多瑙河沿岸。在这一地区，多瑙河蜿蜒穿过下奥地利瓦肖地区的丘陵地貌。该地区拥有葡萄园、花园、风景如画的村庄和河边的古老森林，成为游客游览多瑙河的主要目的地。2004年，该地区被教科文组织列为世界遗产。

The building is located in the small town of Krems right at the river Danube's waterfront. In this area the Danube meanders through the hilly landscape of the Wachau region in Lower Austria. With its vineyards, gardens, picturesque villages and old forests on the riversides, the region became a major destination for tourists, cruising the Danube. In 2004 the region was listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site.

建筑师对世界遗产中心的愿景是创造一个平台，作为多瑙河和乡村之间的一个充满活力的门槛。有一个横跨80米的壮观的屋顶，建筑师们打算勾勒出一个大门，为游客的活动设置框架，开始和炫耀。该结构包括展区、餐厅、旅游信息中心和多瑙河航运公司的售票处。所有这些功能正式统一在一个屋檐下。和以前的项目一样，建筑师已经掌握了通过布置简洁的结构来严格表达概念的能力。

The architects vision for the World Heritage Centre was to create a landing as a dynamic threshold between the Danube river and the countryside. With a spectacular roof spanning over 80 meters the architects intended to outline a gate framing the activities of the visitors embarking and debarking. The structure contains an exhibition area, a restaurant, a tourist information center and a ticket office for the Danube shipping line. All these functions are formally unified under one roof. As in their previous projects the architects have mastered their ability to rigorously articulate a concept by laying out concise structures.
