Wohnpark Neue Donau is a social housing community commissioned by the city government of Vienna. 60 percent of all Viennese live in subsidized, publically owned housing. Most of the project is built atop a structure that spans up to 27 meters across an eight-lane expressway that bypasses the city along the Danube River near the United Nations complex and adjacent to the Reichsbrucke Bridge, which leads to the historical center. The site stretches for half a kilometer along the river and provides direct riverfront park access to the public. The complex is a totally planned, self-contained community and, in addition to its 850 apartments, it comprises offices, shopping venues, restaurants, a freestanding kindergarten with open and covered play areas, a cineplex, a three-level parking garage for 1,500 cars, and an underground train station.
Seven low-rise housing blocks vary in length and range from three to nine floors. These buildings are placed diagonally over the site to provide most of the apartments with a water view from their living rooms and balconies. View corridors are left between the buildings to retain the river views from three preexisting residential towers located further inland. Seidler’s buildings step down toward the river, creating rooftop terrace apartments. Ground-floor units have wall-enclosed private gardens that, along with public lawns, grass beds, and paved paths, as well as many building features including rooftop elevator enclosures, roof parapets, and balconies, recall the fluid paintings of Brazilian painter and landscape designer Roberto Burle Marx.

Wohnpark Neue Donau é um complexo de habitação social encomendado pelo governo da cidade de Viena. 60% de todos os vienenses vivem em propriedades subsidiadas e pertencentes ao governo. A maior parte do projeto foi construída em cima de uma estrutura que mede 27 metros frente a uma via expressa de oito faixas que contorna a cidade ao longo do rio Danúbio, perto do complexo das Nações Unidas e adjacente à ponte Reichsbrücke que leva ao centro histórico. O terreno se estende por meio quilômetro ao longo do rio e oferece acesso direto do público ao parque nas margens. O complexo é uma comunidade totalmente planejada e autossuficiente e, além de seus 850 apartamentos, compreende também escritórios, estabelecimentos comerciais, restaurantes, um jardim de infância autoportante, com áreas de lazer abertas e fechadas, um centro de cinema, uma garagem de três níveis para 1500 carros e uma estação de metrô subterrânea.
Sete baixos blocos habitacionais variam em comprimento e altura de três a nove andares. Esses edifícios foram construídos diagonalmente para fornecer à maioria dos apartamentos vista para o rio de suas salas de estar e varandas. Corredores visuais foram deixados entre os edifícios para manter as vistas para o rio de três torres residenciais preexistentes localizadas mais atrás. Os prédios de Seidler descem em direção ao rio, criando apartamentos nas coberturas do último piso. As unidades no térreo possuem jardins fechados que, juntamente com gramados públicos, canteiros de grama e caminhos pavimentados, bem como muitas características da construção, incluindo as plataformas de elevador no último piso, parapeitos nos telhados e sacadas, lembram as fluidas pinturas do pintor e paisagista brasileiro Roberto Burle Marx.

Bio
I have been a translator for about 10 years now and this is a field that greatly intrigues and excites me. It has the potential to unite peoples of wide cultural disparity across the globe and to bring us closer together. I have a Master's Degree in Translation Studies and am soon to finish my PhD. I have been part of several translation projects across the years, and have worked with a number of organizations based in my town (Brasília, Brazil).
