88 MARKTHALLE BY HERBERT EICHHOLZER & VIKTOR BADL Year 1935 Status Project Material Plastic Cardboard Glue Scale 1:100 Model maker Robert Anagnostopoulos In 1935 Herbert Eichholzer and Viktor Badl designed an office building and a market hall at the Andreas Hofer Platz in the city centre of Graz.1 The ten storey high office block by Eichholzer and Badl was situated right next to the modernist headquarters of a gas and electrical supply company, which was designed by Rambald von Steinbüchel-Rheinwall and built only a few years earlier. The office block was connected to the lower, circular shaped market hall by a bridge over the street. The large flat market hall was characterised by its overhanging roof.2 The model is made of plastic sheets. The surrounding buildings and the landscape are made of wood and cardboard. The model is a reconstruction of the original project’s model. 1 Schurz, Peter H. (Ed.) (2004): Wissen aus dem Archiv. Herbert Eichholzer: Architekt (1903 – 1943).
