The building maximizes classroom space while also contributing public areas to the surrounding neighborhood. The building\u2019s elongated form follows the street edge, establishing a spacious courtyard that provides access to communal programs located on the first floor. This elevated level, designed as a truss frame structure, is suspended over the gymnasiums, which span from the basement to ground level.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Internally, the building is organized with a rational grid system on the upper levels, supporting classroom layouts that prioritize spatial efficiency. The first floor features a flexible, open-plan space intended for multiple functions. This space incorporates robust materials, curtain partitions, and multifunctional modular furniture to accommodate exhibitions, events, and hands-on construction workshops.<\/p>\n<p>all images by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.federicofarinatti.com\/\">Federico Farinatti<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wow wow-yellow\">Exposed Concrete structure as Educational Tool in Architecture<\/h2>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The exposed concrete structure acts as a durable framework designed for long-term adaptability. This system-oriented approach by Gunz &amp; K\u00fcnzle Architekt*innen <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunzkuenzle.ch\/\">Studio<\/a><\/strong> supports sustainability goals by allowing the building to evolve through future modification and reuse. Rather than presenting a fixed architectural image, the project foregrounds construction processes and user appropriation as key components of its identity. By integrating building systems into both the function and appearance of the structure, the vocational school becomes an active teaching tool, demonstrating construction techniques and architectural logic to its users.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>project info:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>name:<\/strong>\u00a0Vocational school for construction trades<br \/>\n<strong>architect:<\/strong>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunzkuenzle.ch\/\">Gunz &amp; K\u00fcnzle Architekt*innen<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/gunzkuenzle\/\">@gunzkuenzle<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>location:<\/strong> Zurich, Switzerland<\/p>\n<p><strong>photographer:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.federicofarinatti.com\/\">Federico Farinatti<\/a> |\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/federicofarinatti\/\">@federicofarinatti<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>designboom has received this project from our\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/readers-submit\">DIY submissions<\/a>\u00a0feature, where we welcome our readers to submit their own work for publication. see more project submissions from our readers\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/readers\/\">here.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>edited by: christina vergopoulou | designboom<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/architecture\/elevated-truss-frame-concrete-structure-vocational-school-construction-trades-zurich-gunz-kunzle-architektinnen-06-22-2025\/\">elevated concrete truss frame\u00a0forms vocational school for construction trades in zurich<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/\">designboom | architecture &amp; design magazine<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gunz &amp; K\u00fcnzle Architekt*innen\u2019s Multi-Functional School \u00a0 Located in central Zurich, Switzerland, the new vocational school for construction trades was designed by Gunz &amp; K\u00fcnzle Architekt*innen to serve both educational and civic functions.
