The project is determined by the extreme conditions of the site through its location (at the border of the vast field of tracks of Zurich main Station, with different levels and geometries of the existing station), its urban scale, the traffic node (interchange with trains, trams, buses, cars, passengers) and the very restrictive secondary conditions (restricting possibilities of structural supports due to the necessity of unobstructed rail tracks, narrow platforms, construction process). It was asked for a clarifying resolution to this complex situation and at the same time for an adequate symbol with landmark quality to underline the importance of the still emerging new quarter of Zurich West.
