The FONTANA housing estate lifestyle experiment in Oberwaltersdorf

New lines of development in suburbia?
Almost a gated community from the outside, postmodern country house style on the inside.
Who are the people that are so enthusiastic about these lifestyles, and where do they come from?

Artifcial Atmospheres – vividly portrayed
From the artificial lake to fake topography and permanently tamed nature to real significant space. Why living in Fonatana means happiness. Research from the residents’ perspective.
