Zurich, Switzerland
Radiant X Galliker und Riva
Andreas Galliker, Valentin Bossart

The hills surrounding Zurich are dotted with solitary buildings. Golden Creek focuses on a specific plot featuring a 1950s building and explores its potential future. As these buildings approach the end of their life cycle, they radiate great significance with their distinctive character, embodying the post-war era. Yet, they remain too young and abundant to be safeguarded by heritage conservation, allowing for interventions of all kinds.

While many of these buildings are being replaced by new constructions, we ask the question of how to envision their reimagination?
