  • The thinking process of demolishing a building to create a park was possible on that time because of the big budget available by the Federation of Switzerland to improve the environment for its population.
  • "While construction activity was progressing rapidly in the newly formed district, the development process of the quarter itself was slow. With a three-year project, the city of Zurich supported the regeneration process of the parks in New Oerlikon." (Zurich Stadt)

  • A modern and unusual design in the 2000's with a huge pergola having the visual dimension of the old buildings. The large hallway space mostly pavemented, the pool placed in the back, makes the center of four grown climbers pillars located on the lower level. The intersections of the double walls of steal mixed with climbers are crossed by stairways, walkways, balconies, and lounges.
