100 YEARS of BDZ
Book Vernissage on 3 March 2023.
100 years of Baugenossenschaft Denzlerstrasse (BDZ). 100 years of financing, planning, building, living, renovating, redeveloping, demolishing and rebuilding in the Wipkingen and Hard districts of Zurich. How BDZ always succeeds in reconciling its values and principles with social change - that is what is told here.
What is a sleeper? How did air-raid protection and blackout work? When was the housing shortage at its greatest? And how can building cooperatives become trendsetters of the future? The BDZ chronicle is designed like a colourful magazine - full of anecdotes and emotions, in a mix of contemporary, social and design history.
