Saturday Afternoon in Switzerland: For example Wetzikon

The area of Wetzikon, bounded between the Banhof of Kempton and the river ‘aabach’ is enclosed with the railway lines, river and the reserve swamp on three sides. The area is physically disconnected to the rest of the city due to lack of public buildings and less frequent public transport. The edge bounded by the reserved swamp is largely occupied by the industrial buildings, which tends to face inside and compliments the boundary making it even stronger. This brings a disconnection between the central green area and the huge reserve. We are proposing a break in the division, to generate flow between the two green areas. The program is based on a multiplicity of different activities which are working together and completing each other by the used at different time, which aims to create a public center and induce a dynamic movement of people.
