Das 15-geschossige Wohnhochhaus setzt am Triemliplatz einen weithin sichtbaren Akzent. Vor dem Hintergrund des Uetlibergs korrespondiert es städtebaulich mit dem benachbarten, 1969 fertig gestellten Bettenhochhaus des Triemli-Spitals. Aufgrund seiner Höhe löste das Gebäude schon während der Planungszeit eine hitzige Debatte aus. Die Projektidee entwickelten Rudolf und Esther Guyer bereits 1954 während ihres Studiums. An ihrer ersten Arbeitsstelle bei Josef Schütz konnten sie den Entwurf in ein Baueingabeprojekt einfliessen lassen. Speziell sind die rautenförmigen Grundrisse der 60 Wohnungen, die sich vom Strassenlärm weg gegen Süden orientieren. In der Ansicht ergibt sich ein dichtes Bündel von Türmen aus Sichtbeton, die im Stil des Brutalismus gestaltet sind. Die hinter hohen Brüstungen verschwindenden Fenster betonen den skulpturalen Charakter des Gebäudes. Der monolithische Ausdruck orientiert sich an Bauten des Architekten Louis Kahn, erinnert aber auch an den japanischen Metabolismus. Zeittypisch ist die rationale Bauweise mit standardisierten Elementen, wie sie in den 1960er- Jahren aufgrund des enormen Wachstums erstmals im grösseren Massstab zum Einsatz kam. Für das Wohnhochhaus am Triemliplatz wurde der Ortbeton mit einer Steigschalung aus rohen Brettern aufgebaut, die Balkonbrüstungen mit gleicher Schalungsstruktur vor Ort hergestellt und mit dem Kran versetzt. 

Sämtliche Wohnungen sind bewohnt und wurden laufend instandgehalten. Die Sichtbetonfassade ist in die Jahre gekommen und das gesamte Gebäude müsste energetisch saniert werden.

In 1963 Swiss architect Fritz Schwarz was commissioned to convert a gravel silo into a holiday home. This conversion entailed blasting openings in the massive concrete structure, a happening-like procedure which the architect also captured on film. These impressive pictures in turn inspired Andri Gerber and Martin Tschanz to the title of the present book: „Sprengkraft Raum - Architektur um 1970 von Esther und Rudolf Guyer, Manuel Pauli, Fritz Schwarz und Pierre Zoelly“, published late last year by Park Books. With the book the editors seek to draw attention to a somewhat overlooked generation of architects whose career had its first peak around 1970, namely Esther & Rudolf Guyer, Manuel Pauli, Fritz Schwarz and Pierre Zoelly: they all had studied at ETH Zurich and befriended each other during this time. With regards to their architecture it was, as Andri Gerber and Martin Tschanz demonstrate in their essays, a particular conception of space that connected them: although not quite as explosive as the book’s title indicates the spatial quality of the five’s buildings is at least surprising against the background of a recognizable dichotomy between inside and outside. Visiting the buildings of the architects with their students Gerber and Tschanz report a certain astonishment on the part of the students as they often hadn’t expected the spatial experiences awaiting them behind the respective buildings’ facades. In fact the buildings reveal their real spatial quality only at first-hand experience as not even floor plans indicate their sophistication. Despite rather straightforward plans and the occasional use of building systems the architects through clever variation and the creative shaping of walls and other non-load bearing elements designed surprising interior spaces. These qualities are further highlighted in a selection of twelve buildings, each of them comprehensively documented in plans, sections, models, photos and insightful texts.

With that said the present volume is hopefully capable of awakening increased interest in the architects and their generation because there is quite something to discover.
