15 Toni Areal Förrlibuckstrasse Zurich On the Toni Site a former milk-processing factory is to be transformed into a platform for education, culture and living Within the urban development of the district and within the transition of 's university landscape the Toni Site represents a central building block The architect assumed that this is primarily an urban planning and a programmatic problem The design proposes tackling this sizable project - a built structure almost the size of an entire neighbourhood - with a kind of inner urbanism On the outside the existing system of ramps is read as a vertical boulevard and reinterpreted as the main circulation Inside, inner addresses are created that locate individual functions like buildings in the city To create an open framework EM2N worked with different degrees of precision, scales and tonalities and with a range extending from huge public spaces to intimate private ones The building as city, the city as building photo: Keystone Project is not public!
