Werkhöfe – Thought Ahead

  • WIedikon, Zurich, Switzerland (Diploma Thema B 2019SS)
  • A complex prototype of Zurich construction work place (Werkhof) and collective housing etc.
  • Taking advantage of already existing Werkhof and highways/railway on the site, the combination of brutal concrete structure and light-weight timber structure creating the integrated landscape of "live" and "work".
  • Rediscovering / reconnecting the hidden actor network of Zurich, by introducing architectural urban hybrid.
