FORUM UZH, Zurich (Switzerland)
Herzog & de Meuron- Type Campus Education
- Date 2018
- City Zurich
- Country Switzerland
FORUM UZH is a new education and research campus in Zurich’s city center, providing space for almost 6,000 people to study, research, and work. The project, designed for a variety of uses, includes a large learning center and library, laboratories, and open workstations for students, complemented with cafes, restaurants, and sports facilities. With inviting public terraces and a lush, green square, the Forum UZH is open to all generations and strengthens the University of Zurich’s integration within the city, opening up with public terraces and a green plaza, that will favor interaction between different users, beyond students and faculty. Fragmented into three volumes – a plinth, an isolated block, and a forum –, the campus is a contemporary embodiment of the urban theories that define the existing university campus. The terraced plinth is mainly used for teaching, while the standalone volume – the solitaire – is primarly used for research. The forum, a tall, open space for student interaction and events, extends from the solitaire into a sunken outdoor garden at the heart of the plinth, connecting the two building volumes and creating a dynamic hub for the entire campus...[+]
