Next stop Zurich. This year’s event of the Cities Connection Project connects Zurich and Barcelona.

Social Housing in Urban Context” and “_Import ZURICH_Cooperative housing: New Ways of Inhabiting” will open on May 11th at 19h at Architekturforum Zürich.

Each year, the Cities Connection Project (CCP) chooses two European cities to be connected by landmark architecture projects in a dual encounter. The Swiss city of Zurich, with its strong tradition of new models of cooperative housing, and Barcelona have been chosen for this year’s event. The selection of 20+20 works will be exhibited at Architekturforum Zürich and enriched with visits to highlighted housing buildings and other activities open to the general public.

K5_Zurich District 5

Kreis 5

The city of Zurich officially has 12 urban districts, called Stadtkreis. They are simply numbered from 1 to 12. District 5, known as “Industriequartier”, between the Limmat River and the train tracks leaving Zurich train mainstation hauptbanhof, it contains the former industrial area of Zurich which has gone under a large-scale rezoning to create upscale modern housing, retail and commercial.
District 5 has been undergoing an urban planning process that is transforming it from a monofunctional industrial zone into a mixed function urban district.

BADENERSTRASSE 380 en Habitat Futura

Compartimos el artículo publicado en la revista Habitat Futura (2016 vol.60, pág. 22-31), que incluye el proyecto BADENERSTRASSE 380 de Pool Architekten y que forma parte de la selección Import Zurich_Cooperative housing: New Ways of Inhabiting.

“El interés de Zurich por tener un desarrollo sostenible es uno de los ejes principales de su política. El proyecto “Zúrich sostenible” entre 1998 y 2002 puso el punto de partida, que continuó del 2006 al 2010 con el “Ciudad sostenible Zúrich, en el camino a la socidad de los 2000W” y que tiene su horizonte a largo plazo en el 2025. Fruto de esta apuesta de ciudad en ella han surgido en los últimos años brillantes proyectos, tanto de planeamiento como de edificación.”
