It is a characteristic of that area and should remain, but redeveloped. We chose hardtbrücke as planing site, not because of seeing it as the main problem, but as a chance to redevelop it to an interface. Our goal is to balance this out with an interface. The western area is more cultural and therefore more frequented during the night-time, the eastern consists more of business and residential areas and is mostly used during the day. Merge- City_ZurichWest is an investigation of potential architectures that act as catalysts and protagonists for these new territories and city space, confronting traditional downtown/ old-town city models with new notions of urbanism that address contemporary conditions of economically driven cultural growth.īy reason of our analysis we recognized, that the areas east and west of the Hardtbrücke are programatically and structurally divided, which also effects their night and daytime activity. As these areas expand and merge into and with one another, there are numerous potentials for the development and configurations of new urban density and architecture. The development of Zürich – West, which is becoming a city onto itself, parallels the growing municipalities surrounding it. Zürich-West is today in a state of complete transformation and flux as extensive conversions of its industrial zones, old buildings and spaces are perpetuating entirely new neighborhoods, office space, housing, restaurants, clubs and public infrastructure.
