PROJECT
CULTURAL HERITAGE Given the proximity to the city, the built and cultural heritage the site holds and the importance of the site’s relation to the city, a main criteria for the development of the project was the preservation of buildings that hold architectural and/or historic value. Thus, all buildings listed as protected have been maintained in form and often in function. Some of those might need internal renovation to serve the new program introduced. The buildings chosen to be demolished are those of a questionable or outdated quality, as was decided in accordance to the necessities of each stakeholder and user. The bigger mass of the demolished buildings resides in the NE corner and are all buildings whose form no longer serves their function. New vs Demolished

Effectively, the new mass proposed covers the requirements of every stakeholder. Once the required area was covered, a second goal was to counteract the dreary monofunctionality of the area in present day. Therefore, a further 43’000 sqm of mixed use is introduced in the site. The mixed use program comprises of residential, office, culture and retail spaces

MORE KNOWLEDGE, MORE SPACE TO SHARE IT Creating a new campus in the city of Zurich is not an easy challenge to affront. It is a perplex task that encompasses many variables, many necessities, many prerequisites and even more legislations, decisions and rules to abide by. It is not an easy task. Notwithstanding, given the opportunity to connect the city to a platform of research and knowledge is unique in both content and context. Very few occasions as this will present themselves to the next generations and many generations will experience the outcome of this one. Hence, the force of circumstance to bring together the best of both realities colliding in this context: the city and the campus. To bring the city to the campus and to breed the campus with the city.
