Zurich, Switzerland
A vertical green island
Greenwall Sihlcity
The horizontally tensioned stainless steel strands constitute the primary climber training support structure; the vertical stainless steel trainer ropes are attached to the support structure with special clamps. Tension relief devices at the rope end connectors prevent excessive loads on the steelwork. Since the planting year, the climber plants have flourished and reached the top of this car park facade.
Sihlcity is a new quarter in the south of Zurich. On over 100.000 square metres it offers restaurants, bars, cafés, cinemas, a cultural centre, a discotheque, a health and wellness area, a hotel, a shopping centre as well as service areas and city apartments.
