Tamedia media building, Zurich

The visionary building also demonstrates the potential of wood for large-scale, urban buildings. The skeleton supporting structure was put together like a construction kit, the structural system is understandable for the observer and the wooden elements remain unclad. Precise and innovative planning, high-quality materials and a sophisticated assembly concept made it possible to fulfil these high demands.

The timber elements for the office building were manufactured by Blumer-Lehmann AG in Gossau on a Lignamatic. The company is one of the leading timber construction companies in Switzerland and even worldwide for timber engineering structures.
