PROJECT DETAILS

Rudolf Guyer / Esther Guyer: Vocational School (Berufsschule für Detailhandel Zürich), 1971C–1973

  • Zurich, Switzerland, Show on map
  • #EDU #Western Europe
  • In addition to the prefabricated concrete slabs we often see at apartment houses known as Plattenbauten, the building’s appearance is ultimately determined by prefabricated sandblasted, three-dimensional concrete elements, amongst them u-shaped pillars and sloped exterior window sills. A dash of orange on special elements inside and outside complements the dominant grey hues traditionally associated with raw concrete. 

  • In use. Heritage protected. Special Thanks to Patrik Walter Frei!
