KCAP Architects & Planners

14.12.2016 bis 11.02.2017
Zürich, Architekturforum Zürich
The Train & the City Imagine a journey from Zurich to Amsterdam by train, with an intermezzo in a foreign city, pausing, perhaps stretching your legs for some gazing around the station and then continue on a next train to visit different places to arrive and wonder. Since the industrial revolution and the arrival of the train, cities developed rapidly around their stations and they continue to do so. Nowadays the arrival of high speed trains, improving multimodality and new technologies lead to new visions on the station and its surroundings. The Train & the City takes you exploring a selection of KCAP’s oeuvre that deals with different aspects of mobility as a driver for urban development. From the station to the larger areas, these projects reflect upon the meaning of infrastructure for the city. A comparative research on the relation between train infrastructure and historical city growth of students of Liechtenstein University enriches The Train & The City.

Vernissage: Mittwoch, 14.12.2016 um 18.00 Uhr, Architekturforum Zürich
