The TBZ tower is a wooden tower on the roof of the technical vocational school in Zurich .
Emergence
In 2003, the German artist Daniel Roth won a competition from the Technical Vocational School in Zurich to build a 13-meter-high wooden tower above the break area, which allows a view of the terrace and beyond.
The tower was designed in collaboration with the Karlsruhe architect Alexander Kohm based on the model of a hyperboloid construction by Vladimir Schuchow from 1896 and erected in 2005. He thus combines two architectural styles and thus two times.
accessibility
The tower is currently (as of March 2019) neither publicly nor internally accessible. After construction, the tower was open for around 8 years, after which it was permanently closed. The school management justified this decision with the fact that students in the tower had violated school rules.
