Office building Forum Z in the cultural park in Zurich

The decision of the architectural firm POOL Architects in Zurich was to create a unique and inspiring facade. The individual design molded by RECKLI matrices gave this building a distinctive concrete structure.

The project of the Forum Z office building is part of the cultural park in Zurich – west, which serves as a center for intercultural work and life. The park also creates a space for creative architecture that enriches the lives of all its users.

The office space covers 4,650 m² and serves nonprofit organizations in the areas of education, social care, culture, and the environment. The facade design was created to blend into the entire surroundings and form a cohesive part of the cultural park. The architect was inspired by the organic structure of limestone and the technique of worked stone. The design was created in a graphic program, which was subsequently used to create a model on which the RECKLI polyurethane elastic matrix was produced. The matrices were then used in the prefabrication of sandwich elements.
