Zurich University of the Arts honours ten years of the Toni-Areal
At the start of the winter semester, Zurich University of the Arts (ZHdK) is looking back on ten years of the Toni-Areal. The website set up for this purpose provides an insight into the past and present of the campus. The ZHdK also welcomes 711 new students for the winter semester.
Zurich University of the Arts has two reasons to celebrate at the start of the winter semester, writes the ZHdK in a press release. Firstly, 711 people are starting a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree programme in music, design, fine arts, cultural analysis and mediation or the performing arts and film. The university is also celebrating the tenth anniversary of its Toni-Areal campus.
The ZHdK has set up its own website for this retrospective. Interested parties can gain an insight into everyday life at the university or be guided through the conversion of the Toni-Areal from a dairy to a campus in pictures. The two architects from back then present their thoughts on the Toni site on the website. The opening of the campus to the public and the involvement of students in its redesign are also discussed. Since the completion of the Toni site, the number of ZHdK locations has been reduced from 37 to two. In addition to the Toni site, only the Gessnerallee site is still in operation.
