Living in Zurich

For the last week and a half I was in Zurich, Switzerland, for World-Architects, checking out some new architecture in the evenings after work. Many of the buildings I happened to look at were recent housing projects, primarily middle-class developments just west of central Zurich. Below are eight of those projects, with links to the architects' websites and more of my photos on Flickr.<br /><br /><a href="http://graberpulver.ch/index.php/projects/siedlung-grunmatt" rel="nofollow">Siedlung Grünmatt FGZ</a> (2014) in Zurich, Switzerland, by Graber Pulver.<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/archidose/9410085348/" title="Siedlung Grünmatt FGZ by archidose, on Flickr"><img alt="Siedlung Grünmatt FGZ" height="480" src="http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5495/9410085348_585c7f7484_z.jpg" width="640" /></a><br />[See more <a href="http://www.flickr.com/search/?q=siedlunggr%C3%BCnmattfgz&w=archidose&adv=1&mt=all&ct=6&m=tags">photos at Flickr</a>]<br /><br /><a href="http://www.em2n.ch/projects/neufrankengasse" rel="nofollow">Housing Neufrankengasse</a> (2013) in Zurich, Switzerland, by EM2N.<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/archidose/9390351645/" title="Housing Neufrankengasse by archidose, on Flickr"><img alt="Housing Neufrankengasse" height="800" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7396/9390351645_3a98a710fe_c.jpg" width="575" /></a><br />[See more <a href="http://www.flickr.com/search/?q=housingneufrankengasse&w=archidose&adv=1&mt=all&ct=6&m=tags">photos at Flickr</a>]<br /><br /><a href="http://www.maerkliarchitekt.ch/solo.php?lang=de&id=686144300" rel="nofollow">Gutstrasse Wohnüberbauung</a> (2013) in Zurich, Switzerland, by Märkli Architekt.<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/archidose/9407418775/" title="Gutstrasse Wohnüberbauung by archidose, on Flickr"><img alt="Gutstrasse Wohnüberbauung" height="622" src="http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2827/9407418775_99693b1edb_z.jpg" width="640" /></a><br />[See more <a href="http://www.flickr.com/search/?q=gutstrassewohn%C3%BCberbauung&w=archidose&adv=1&mt=all&ct=6&m=tags">photos at Flickr</a>]<br /><br /><a href="http://www.burkhalter-sumi.ch/projects/sunnigehof" rel="nofollow">Sunnige Hof</a> (2012) in Zurich, Switzerland, by Burkhalter Sumi Architekten.<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/archidose/9410326070/" title="Sunnige Hof by archidose, on Flickr"><img alt="Sunnige Hof" height="633" src="http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2894/9410326070_b6aa50843a_z.jpg" width="640" /></a><br />[See more <a href="http://www.flickr.com/search/?q=sunnigehof&w=archidose&adv=1&mt=all&ct=6&m=tags">photos at Flickr</a>]<br /><br /><a href="http://www.vbk-arch.ch/preview-detail/items/084-ersatzneubauten-triemli-zuerich.html" rel="nofollow">Ersatzneubauten Triemli Zürich</a> (2011) by Von Ballmoos Krucker Architekten.<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/archidose/9389544167/" title="Ersatzneubauten Triemli Zürich by archidose, on Flickr"><img alt="Ersatzneubauten Triemli Zürich" height="480" src="http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2841/9389544167_a8a98d39ec_z.jpg" width="640" /></a><br />[See more <a href="http://www.flickr.com/search/?q=ersatzneubautentriemlizuerich&w=archidose&adv=1&mt=all&ct=6&m=tags">photos at Flickr</a>]<br /><br /><a href="http://www.swiss-architects.com/de/althammer-hochuli/projekte-3/-33335" rel="nofollow">Wohnüberbauung Wasserschöpfi</a> (2011) in Zurich, Switzerland, by Althammer Hochuli.<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/archidose/9401165352/" title="Wohnüberbauung Wasserschöpfi by archidose, on Flickr"><img alt="Wohnüberbauung Wasserschöpfi" height="427" src="http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3687/9401165352_2ff7f942c5_z.jpg" width="640" /></a><br />[See more <a href="http://www.flickr.com/search/?q=wohn%C3%BCberbauungwassersch%C3%B6pfi&w=archidose&adv=1&mt=all&ct=6&m=tags">photos at Flickr</a>]<br /><br /><a href="http://www.camenzindevolution.com/News/KISS" rel="nofollow">K.I.S.S.</a> (2011) in Zurich, Switzerland by Camenzid Evolution.<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/archidose/9394271283/" title="K.I.S.S. by archidose, on Flickr"><img alt="K.I.S.S." height="640" src="http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2877/9394271283_f1eb69e1bc_z.jpg" width="632" /></a><br />[See more <a href="http://www.flickr.com/search/?q=kiss&w=archidose&adv=1&mt=all&ct=6&m=tags">photos at Flickr</a>]<br /><br /><a href="http://www.gmuergeschwentner.ch/gebaute-projekte/new-project-page/" rel="nofollow">James</a> (2009) in Zurich, Switzerland, by Gmür & Geschwentner Architekten AG.<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/archidose/9410446902/" title="James by archidose, on Flickr"><img alt="James" height="481" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7362/9410446902_007ed8a1e1_z.jpg" width="640" /></a><br />[See more <a href="http://www.flickr.com/search/?q=gm%C3%BCrgeschwentnerarchitektenag&w=archidose&adv=1&mt=all&ct=6&m=tags">photos at Flickr</a>]
