As one of the first high-rise to punctuate Zurich’s skyline, at Letzigraben, the two Heiligfeld Buildings, conceived by Albert Heinrich Steiner in 1953-55, marks a milestone in urban residential design. The photograph shows one of the two buildings. They stand as an enduring testament to the architectural aspirations of the 1950s in Switzerland. The structure, harmonizes utility and form, crafting a functional symmetry that endures. Its facade, a geometric tapestry of balconies and windows, offers a glimpse into the era’s innovative spirit and Zurich’s architectural courage. Each balcony, a private alcove in the sky, echoes the city’s communal ethos, while the orderly windows serve as the building’s rhythmic heartbeat, exemplifying Zurich’s commitment to blending individuality within collective living spaces.
