This interface is also the location of the largest high-rise ensemble in Switzerland, which represents a radical feature of this new urban formation and was designed jointly by atelier ww and Max Dudler. The four high-rises surround a square and form an urban quad, which was intended to be the catalyst for the development of the surrounding district. “Finally there is a square again”, was how Raymond Hood described the Rockefeller Center in 1929, and both back then and now in this case it was about importing a very particular urban vision. The high-rise ensemble in Oerlikon is a consequential and emblematic group of buildings, a city within a city. This publication documents the complex design and planning history of this building complex through texts, photographs, plans, and sketches.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"JOVIS Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54253309624664,"sku":"9783868592849","price":31.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9783868592849_9ffe795a-2786-4990-ab43-77a329c62c6e.jpg?v=1749951034","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/ensemble-2","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
