  • Schaffhausen renews its Bahnhofstrasse

    Schaffhausen renews its Bahnhofstrasse

    Bahnhofstrasse in Schaffhausen is being modernised as part of a one-year construction project. The aim is to create a spacious and clearly laid out street that optimises traffic flow and increases safety for all road users.

    Optimisation of the traffic infrastructure
    Bahnhofstrasse is a central traffic junction in Schaffhausen. The renovation measures will renew the road surface in order to improve road safety and utilise public spaces more efficiently. At the same time, the space for pedestrians and passengers will be increased, making it easier to get on and off the train.

    Charging stations for electric buses have already been installed in advance of the refurbishment in order to make public transport in Schaffhausen more sustainable. The current work will not only upgrade the functionality of Bahnhofstrasse, but also reposition it as an inviting arrival and meeting point.

    Accessibility and adaptations
    Accessibility is a key concern for the city. The bus stops will be equipped with higher kerbs to ensure barrier-free access for people with disabilities. These measures were developed in close consultation with disability organisations and ensure that Bahnhofstrasse complies with current legal requirements.

  • Dancing windows in circle 7

    Dancing windows in circle 7

    A total of 16 apartments, 2 offices and an underground car park with 19 parking spaces will be built in a very good location by the end of the 2nd quarter of 2023 – you can be at Bellevue in a good 20 minutes by public transport – at Witikonerstrasse 400 in Stadtzürcher Kreis 7. For the 1341 square meters A multi-family house with four floors is planned for the comprehensive plot area. Seven 2.5 and nine 3.5 room apartments with areas of 66 to 130 square meters are planned. In addition, two offices of 45.8 square meters each will be built. The energy is supplied by geothermal energy.

    With its “dancing windows”, the woman from Graubünden will create a landmark for District 7. The architect was already able to impress with these windows with the “Solitaire” high-rise building in Horw, Lucerne. They are characterized by their irregular arrangement – yet they create harmony and offer the residents a view of the outside from every position. Theus has already completed many prestigious construction projects, including Bank Leu on Zurich’s Bahnhofstrasse, the headquarters of World Football Association “Home of FIFA” on the Zürichberg and the five-star hotel “Widder” in Zurich.

    The Quartier Witikon – which is often called the “Quartier on the horizon” – forms district 7 together with Fluntern, Hottingen and Hirslanden. The house with the “dancing windows” is not far from the “Berghaldenstrasse” bus stop – in the immediate vicinity of the local recreation area of the Elefantenbach. The “Looren” sports facility with tennis and football pitches and the center of Witikon with service providers and shops are also within walking distance.

    The residents of Witikon benefit from the south-facing altitude on the slopes of the Adlisberg and Oetlisberg. This brings the quarter little fog and lots of sun as well as a great view. When the weather is nice, the Glarner, Urner and Berner Alps with the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau can be seen.

    The LIKA Group AG as total contractor implements the projects with well thought-out processes and thus ensures the high quality standards. Working with qualified architects is essential for the broad portfolio. (see likagroup.ch).

  • Lucerne University of Applied Sciences tests augmented reality for urban planning

    Lucerne University of Applied Sciences tests augmented reality for urban planning

    Together with the City of Lucerne, the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts is testing the potential of augmented reality (AR) in urban planning. To this end, the university has developed an AR visualization of possible redesign measures in Bahnhofstrasse and Theaterplatz. For example, the projected second row of trees, the new Velostation and the mobile seating including planting could be experienced visually, according to a press release from the university.

    The research groups Visual Narrative from the Department of Design & Art and Immersive Realities Research Lab from the Department of Computer Science as well as the Civil Engineering Department of the City of Lucerne were involved in the joint project. It has now been presented to the media. Presentations for the general public will follow on three days in September.

    The AR visualization can be used on common tablets. The real environment appears on the display with virtual objects projected over it. Planned structural interventions can be viewed three-dimensionally and spatially. “Users can experience on site how Bahnhofstrasse could be designed and used in the future without any real structural or other interventions being necessary,” project manager Tobias Matter is quoted in the press release.

    This would give all decision-makers from different areas the opportunity to take an uncomplicated and active part in the planning. In contrast, plans, models and specialist vocabulary are not immediately understandable for everyone. “The immersive visualization technology of augmented reality can thus be an effective tool to inform the public more transparently about construction and renovation projects, to encourage their participation in the planning and ultimately to create more acceptance for such projects among all those involved,” said Matter .
