The construction of a new office building by shigeru ban architects for Swiss media company Tamedia is underway in Zurich. The Japanese practice has designed the structure for a 1,000sq m site in the city centre, overlooking the Sihl canal. An elongated glass façade will showcase an interlocking timber post and beam system free of nails and screws.
