72 HRS in ZURICH

iamonhold

I'm hoping to whip up an architecture itinerary that will make my head spin. Any suggestions of great architecture (old or new) to see in the city?

I found 48 hours in Zurich to be about 44 too many.

You seem to have covered almost everything, i can add these though. I would also try and make time to go to the Orrel Fussli Architecture bookshop in the old town if you can fit it in.

The new e-science lab at the ETH (Honggerbeg campus) by Baumschlager and Eberle.

The scenario Building - Pfizer Headquarters by Betrix and Consolascio. 99 Scharenmoostrasse

Schauspielhaus (schiffbau) By Ortner and Ortner. Schiffbaustrasse 4

Fachhochschule Sihlhof By Giuliana Honger. Lagerstrasse 5. Expecially if you can get inside!

And finally Wohnuberbauung Hohenbuhlstrasse in Hottingen by AGPS Architektur, although it is starting to look a bit tired at 4 years old

Sounds like you are going to be pretty busy

Have fun!

iamonhold - the suggestions from holz and spartacus are fantastic and comprehensive ... enjoy


a few more suggestions, mostly about leisure:

zurich has wonderful public bathhouses -- badi -- that dot the lake and river. they're wonderful places to swim, relax and eat/drink. each has it's own culture/crowd, but they're all fun...

http://www.badi-info.ch/Unterer_letten.html
http://www.badi-info.ch/oberer_letten.html


a personal favorite, in the city center, floating in the middle of the river:

lastly, the ETH should be near the end of its semester...if you visit the hönggerberg campus, might be worth checking out their studios



have fun!
