Tuñón Ruckstuhl Gastropavilion ETH Zurich

Font: Tuñon Arquitectos
Photography: Luis Asín.

Conceived as a prism that serves as an architectural filter between the campus and the landscape, the pavilion is a meeting point for teachers, visitors, workers, and students, besides serving as a reception place for international guests. Open to the campus towards the south and to the views of the beautiful landscape to the north. The building is proposed as an elegant shed of serial wood porticoes, as an open and flexible structure.
