Built in 1972, it is now used as a training center for the School of Vocational Education in Zurich. The building is in good condition; only the facade, which has remained in its original state since completion, is in need of repair. The curtain-type, fine metal fa\u00e7ade represents a widespread construction method of its time, but cannot meet today&#8217;s requirements for thermal and noise protection. Suitable renovation strategies were evaluated in a competition to select the best planners.<br \/>\nAccording to the jury, the first-place team <a href=\"http:\/\/ekinci.ch\/\">Ekinci Architekten<\/a> \/ L\u00fcchinger+Meyer succeeded in making a &#8220;plausible and ecologically sustainable contribution.&#8221; &#8220;The design appears simple and logical and features a low level of technologization.

For example, laminations are used as a vapor barrier.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We are aware that Zurich&#8217;s Herostrasse is named after a former baked goods producer and does not honor a hero in English.
