The Zurich student village on the Hönggerberg campus of ETH Zurich combines functionality with a touch of serenity. The facade of the buildings in Paul-Feyerabend-Hof, designed by architektick AG, features a fascinating mix of strict lines and soft reflections. Vertical slats form a rhythmic counterpoint to the horizontal windows that watch overhead, capturing the daily rhythm of the residents, an allusion to the disciplined structure of learning, while a white duvet hangs casually from a single window as a student hangs out to air the room. An everyday yet intimate snapshot of student life.
