Light design for the future, design for the future: Am geplanten UBS office beim Bahnhof Altstetten scheiden sich die Geister. Therefore, the Sonntag steht fest: Der 108 Meter hohe Büroturm cann gebaut werden. Die Stadtzürcher Stimmbevölkerung hat sich mit deutlichem Mehr für den Gestaltungsplan ausgesprochen and the Young Green referendum took place.

The new tall house with wood concrete construction will be designed by Kengo Kuma & Associates and Itten+Brechbühl AG.

Das Projekt berücksichtige erhöhte Anforderungen an den Bau und die Freiraumgestaltung, Heisst es on the project website. As an architect with the international Strahlkraft, Kengo Kuma combined the Japanese tradition of wooden construction with working themes and new work concepts.

The 70-year-old Kengo Kuma hat has years of experience in the coming years internationally for current work. You can test the work of the Victoria & Albert Museum in Dundee (2018), the Japanese National Stadium in Tokyo for the 2020 Summer Olympics, the Einkaufszentrum Exchange in Sydney (2019) or another active project at the train station Saint-Denis-Pleyel in Paris (2024) or the first museum opened in Yixing in China.

“Offenheit, Ruhe, Elegance”

In Switzerland, Kuma bisher nur wenige Bauten created, in 2016 a day for the EPFL in Lausanne and 2021 a house of studies and life in Vals GR.

Another Kengo Kuma house in Switzerland is the Balma house in Vals GR.

Japanese tradition in the 21st century

Kumas erklärtes Ziel est, the Japanese tradition of art in construction and this tradition for the 21st century new interpreter.

Do you have any other architects in the work of the Japanese?

For Swiss architects and university professor Roger Boltshauser, Kengo Kuma has become the architect of Japan. “Seine Bauten strahlen gross Offenheit, Ruhe und Eleganz aus, deren Ursprung in einer profunden Kenntnis der japanischen Bautradition liegt,” said Boltshauser auf Anfrage.

Kumas respects and respects the environment, the building and the company, although it is also present in the use of natural materials, often within the unmittelbaren Umgebung seiner Bauten, which is in new structures , ungewohnte überführe. “Licht et Weichheit seien Teil seiner Architektur, aufgelöste Holzkonstruktionen oder gefaltete Dächer, die aussehen wie aus Papier, verliehen seinen Bauten “eine ungewohnte Leichtigkeit,” Boltshauser said.

“Poetic constructions of wood”

In a base of installation of materials sparsamer auf einem tiefen Wissen et jahrzehntelangem Erforschen nachhaltiger Baustoffe, die er durch innovative Anwendungen immer wieder wieder auf die Probe stelle and therefore zu new Erkenntnissen gelange.

Kuma is Laut Boltshauser who is interested in his “poetic and überraschenden Holzkonstruktionen constructions” and his long development of use with the “urban potential of materials”, long oriented towards construction with wood, also in den Städten zur Normality in the event of non-compliance occurs sei.

Auch Momoyo Kaijima, professor of architectural behaviorology at ETH Zurich, appointed Kengo Kuma as head of the Reich Architects, for the discussion on Japanese building culture. Seine flexible Art sowie seine Offenheit würden von der Baubranche and von politischen Acteurs gleichermassen begrüsst.

Längst es also important auf den Stararchitekten aufmerksam geworden. Reality TV star and influencer Kim Kardashian Kengo Kuma has a media direction for her new beauty.

Young Grüne: Lieber ein Wohnhaus

And we were able to create beautiful green gardens in high-quality architecture. The Grünen-Gemeinderat Martin Busekros helped us to give Kuma responsibility for a philosophical conception of architecture with the conceptual architecture of the entire architecture within the framework of the concrete organization. Some projects are also in themselves, because development projects are “pro” or “anti” within the framework of the project. For the young greens at the UBS Zurich office, there is an “anti-object”, says Busekros. Denn est werde der Stadt mhr schaden als nützen. In Zürich there is an Überangebot an Büroplätzen and an einen Mangel an Wohnungen.

“A Kuma storage project with a guest house was done by a friend of ours,” Busekros said.
