Lecture series «Ein Haus...»: «Material Positions»: Conen Sigl Architects, Zurich

This season's «Ein Haus…» lectures will focus on the positions of architects from different perspectives on the subject of material & space based on selected projects and their architectural, cultural, political, social and ecological relevance.

Conen Sigl Architects, Zurich
Lebensräume (Living spaces) - Westhof Dübendorf
The former industrial and commercial area of Hochbord in Dübendorf near Zurich is undergoing a fundamental reorganisation due to its rezoning as a residential area. The question of how to create an identity-forming place here was fundamental to the project. The housing project developed by a co-operative and the original landowners with additional communal uses therefore follows the idea of living in the former market garden. The architectural design incorporates many references to the nursery and the site's past. Habitats for flora and fauna were part of the design idea.

«Ein Haus…» is a series of lectures in which buildings are presented in detail. This allows the different views of the architects to be recognised. The focal points of the presentations vary; they range from urban planning premises to constructional challenges, from historical references to social ambitions.
