5 photo: Leonardo Noguez photo: Leonardo Noguez Heidi Weber Museum Höschgasse Zurich The Heidi Weber Museum reflects the harmonic unity of Le Corbusier's architecture, sculptures, paintings, furniture designs and his writings which is unique and possibly the only one such existing structure in the world: a total work of art Located on the wooded shores of Lake Zurich, the last building designed by Le Corbusier, synthesizes Corbusier's genius Yet it marks a radical change of his achievement of using concrete and stone so poetically He to put in practice the construction system based on cubic units of 226 meters each side, created according to the Modulor measures He framed his final masterpiece in steel and glass and thus created a signpost for the future Le Corbusier made great use of prefabricated steel elements together with multi-coloured enamelled plates fitted to the central core, and above the complex he designed a 'free-floating' roof to keep the house protected from both the rain and the sun (text by Arch Leonardo Noguez) photo: Liesa Siegelmann Client Le Corbusier Mrs Heidi Weber JMMM From July to September on Saturdays and Sundays from 2pm to 5 pm for updates take Tram 2 along Seefeld Strasse to Hoeschgasse Walk along Hoeschgasse towards the lake (that's to the right if you're coming from the town center) The pavilion is at the end of the road on the left, within the Zürichhorn park 5

12 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 12

13 photo: David Baugh photo: David Baugh Single Wall House Burenweg Zurich Outwardly simple, this project is, in fact, rather sophisticated, both structurally and spatially On a small and narrow plot, overlooking the heart of Zurich, the architect has built a structure containing two houses Instead of sitting them one above the other, or in tandem, the volume has been split vertically and longitudinally, so that each dwelling can take equal advantage of the views The parting wall zig-zags and follows a different line on each of the three floors This stabilizes it transversely and maximises the variety of spaces, which flow from floor to floor via open stair flights The wall is formed in reinforced concrete as is each floor plate, which is cantilevered from it, so that there are no perimeter columns to obstruct the views The above ground external walls are completely glazed; some sections can be slid open for ventilation External roller blinds located along the edge of the floor slabs can be lowered to control solar gain and help with privacy photo: David Baugh Project is not public! 2007 Project manager Structural engineer Christian Kerez BGS & Partner Architekten AG Dr Schwartz Consulting AG davidb Take the number 11 tram to Burgweiss and the Tram Museum From here turn east into Wasserstrasse (this road is very steep) At the first crossroads, turn right into Eierbrechtstrasse Follow this road until it turns left and becomes Burenweg The project is at the end of the turn at the junction with Hirtenweg 13

14 photo: David Baugh photo: David Baugh Stadion Letzigrund Badenerstrasse Zurich photo: David Baugh This stadium is home to FC Zurich and was used for three matches in the Euro 2008 tournament To avoid dwarfing its surroundings, this massive structure was sunk into the ground The excavated material was sifted on site to extract the local gravel, which was then used in the concrete The most remarkable feature of the stadium is the sweeping roof It is held aloft by 31 pairs of raked columns (formed with Corten or rusting steel) such that it almost seems to float The soffit of the roof is clad with timber slats Sheets of Corten are also used to form the perimeter fence The capacity is for football matches, for athletics and for concerts Main designer, Services engineer Services engineer Contractor Structural engineer Bétrix & Consolascio Frei & Ehrensperger HeftiHessMartignoniAarau AG Hobler Engineering GmbH Implenia Walt & Galarini davidb Apart from match days, the stadium is often left open for the public to wander in and out From the city centre, take a number 2 tram in the direction of Farbhof, and alight at the stop called Letzigrund This is immediately outside the stadium 14

15 photo: David Baugh photo: David Baugh Aussersihl Community Centre Hohlstrasse Zurich This project was won in competition in 1999 The site is a historic memorial park, on the western side of the city centre - a sensitive location The architects decided to break with convention for a community centre, and build vertically, rather than horizontally The initial proposal was for a six-storey, angular tower nestling by some trees on the eastern side of the site After completing the design, the budget was slashed, and the design team were sent back to the drawing board The revised scheme is still in the form of a tower, but only four storeys, including a basement and kidney-shaped in plan The structure is formed of lime brick walls and concrete floor slabs It is clad in timber boards, stained dark green, to help the building blend in with its surroundings By contrast, the interiors are painted in many different and bright colours The ground floor contains a café, which is popular with the locals out enjoying the park 2000 Services engineer Structural engineer Client EM2N Amstein+Walthert Tragwerk Bauingenieure GmbH City of Zurich Department of Social Welfare davidb photo: David Baugh The project is located in Backeranlage Park The number 8 tram stops here 15

21 Residential building Hottingerplatz Hottingerstrasse Zurich The massing of the new Minergy-standard building on Hottingerplatz in Zürich is a precise response to the existing situation The envelope follows the existing building line while adopting the orientation of the neighbouring building at roof parapet level The ground floor is differentiated from the standard upper floors through the choice of materials and the uses it accommodates Generous glazing announces the presence of studio spaces inside The upper floors are more restrained in their relationship to the street, with each of the two-storey maisonettes marked by a single supersized window onto the square The red-stained, exposed concrete core provides visual continuity from floor to floor The levels are interlinked by dynamic, double-height spaces The bush-hammered concrete of the facade provides a lively surface, similar to cement rendering, and enters into a dialogue with other buildings in the neighbourhood 2007 Bob Gysin + Partner BGP Nazar 21

28 Extension Bullingerstrasse Vocational School Bullingerstrasse Zurich Two neighbouring schools designed by Otto Glaus (and partners), Bullinger Vocational School from the 1960s and Hardau Primary School from the 1980s were to be extended The co-existence and interpenetration of essentially very different urban fragments makes the perimeter into an exciting but difficult part of the city that is characterised by strong contrasts The existing building fragments were augmented by employing specific tailor-made measures, their spatial presence is strengthened and they are connected to the new outdoor space The Vocational School, a listed building, is an exposed concrete ensemble somewhat like a monastery It is augmented with building volumes developed out of the logic of the existing fabric and is given a second entrance 2005 EM2N Nazar 28
