9 photo: David Baugh photo: David Baugh Forsterstrasse Apartments Forsterstrasse Zurich This project is spread over five levels The lowest is a column-free, underground car park, accessed directly off the street Above this is a partially buried entrance and service floor Finally there are three levels of apartments The lower two levels - 3 & 4 - are handed versions of each other and have two units each, whilst the smaller top floor has only one Internally, the planning is reminiscent of Mies' brick wall houses, with a series of orthogonal perpendicular walls defining individual spaces which flow from one to the next The perimeter of the building is column-free and totally glazed to maximise light and views The floor slabs cantilever out on the Forsterstrasse elevation to help combat solar gain Walls and floors are exposed reinforced concrete, and disguise very clever and subtle methods of load transference As with the Single Wall House, this initially simple building rewards study, and reveals itself to be both spatially and structurally sophisticated photo: David Baugh Project is not public! 2003 Project manager Landscape designer Structural engineer Christian Kerez Archobau Catherine Dumont d'ayot, Lucas Schweingruber, Christian Kerez Oberageri - Joseph Schwartz davidb Take the number 6 tram to Toblerplatz From here walk up the hill (north) and turn left into Freudenbergasse and then turn immediately right into Mittelbergsteig This is impassible to cars and motocycles At the top of Mittelbergsteig turn right onto Forsterstrasse and the project is approximately 40m along on the opposite side of the road 9

11 photo: bjunker photo: bjunker MFO-Park Sophie-Taeuber-Strasse Zurich The MFO-Park is a public square/public park located in the north of Zurich Its steel construction has exactly the same size as the former industrial building situated in the place The steel structure was meant to get overgrown by various plants In the past years, the initially clean steel structure became more and more covered by leaves Within the process of getting overgrown it became more and more popular to the inhabitants of the quarter The project is part of the transformation of Zurich-Nord, forming an industrial area into an urban quarter It shows one way of how industrial areas can be transformed without losing the characteristics totally photo: bjunker Floor area/size m² Main designer, Landscape architect Raderschall AG bjunker Burckhardt + Partner AG Stadt Zürich Leave Zürich Oerlikon Train Station towards north Follow the Therese-Giehse-Strasse for about 100m, turn left (Elias-Canetti-Strasse), go 150m and there you are 11

12 photo: Philipp Haefeli photo: Sandro Gaemperle Prime Tower Hardstrasse Zurich Prime Tower Zurich is situated in the heart of the city on the site of the former Maag cogwheel factory, where Zurich has been undergoing a transformation process for several years The octagon-shaped Prime Tower is the project unanimously chosen as the winner of an international competition involving top-ranking architects The decision that came out in favour of the Zurich architect team was influenced among other things by the crystalline exterior that stands apart from its neighbours, the fine movements and projections, the many uses of the large ground plan and the static design with the pre-stressed ceiling Project is not public!

13 photo: Roderick Trompert photo: Roderick Trompert Im Viadukt Limmatstrasse Zurich Up until now it separated the old and the new District 5 Now the railway viaduct will be the element linking the two This monument to early industrial times is to become the site of an unusual shopping and commercial district with Zurich s first ever covered market Direct, simple, reduced to a minimum this was the EM2N architects motto The rough stonewalls can still be seen on the interior of the rooms, preserving the rugged charm of the construction and accentuating the uniqueness of the surroundings This fits in with the PWG Foundation s intention of charging low rents for the arches The foundation envisaged creating a hub of enjoyment, aesthetics and creativity from which both the city and the tenants could profit The area enjoys a broad, eclectic mix for different sections of the population IM VIADUKT is a melting pot of the individual strengths of extraordinary and creative businesses photo: Roderick Trompert Contractor Landscape designer EM2N b+p baurealisation ag Schweingruber Zulauf Landschaftarchitekten Stiftung PWG Roderick From Zurich Hauptbahnhof: Tram 4 (>Werdhölzli) or Tram 13 (>Frankental) to Station Dammweg S-Bahn S3, S5, S6, S7, S9, S11, S12, S15, S16 to Bahnhof Hardbrücke 13
