Im Case Studio ist seit Januar 2012 die Ausstellung 'Four Tor Panorama' von VOGT zu sehen, die bereits in London und Berlin gastierte. Thema der Ausstellung ist die Bedeutung unserer Exkursionen in die Landschaft für die Arbeit des Büros.

Eine Wanderung zu den Felstürmen im Dartmoor National Park in England war Ausgangspunkt des Ausstellungskonzeptes. Der Weg von Fels zu Fels ist Basis der Installation 'Four Tor Panorama', die eine Reihe von Dioramen präsentiert. Wie die Eindrücke von Dartmoor und anderen Exkursionen in die landschaftsarchitektonischen Projekte des Büros übersetzt werden, legt eine Diashow offen.

VOGT Zurich and Christian Kieckens Architects from Brussels won the competition about the new crematorium in Zemst.

The landscape design focuses on the three elements of the surrounding: forest, meadows and water. While the enlarged area of the forest hosts practical functions, like parking and an access road, and screens less attractive elements in the neighbourhood, the meadows, apparently sprawling from the open landscape to the crematorium, lead the view to the horizon and offer paths for strolling. Both areas interlace and offer spaces of calmness and for memorization. Within the crematorium realm, the ditches typical for the area are widened to broad water elements, lying in the meadows like naturally. They are mirrors of the sky and expression of the landscape’s metamorphosis into a park at the same time.

VOGT London, as a member of David Chipperfield Architects team, has won the competition for lot D5 du Trapèze à Boulogne-Billancourt, a residential development in the West of Paris, within the famous former site of Renault factory. Part of the site is an island, ‘l'île Seguin’, now masterplanned by Ateliers Jean Nouve. It is anticipated to become a cultural hub in Paris and will include a cultural center, social facilities, extensive parks, gardens and shops.

The jury specifically prized the sensitive consideration of the direct surrounding of the Trapèze and Île Seguin as well as the wider context.

In collaboration with the architects Bünzli & Courvoisier, our office VOGT Zurich has won the competition “Landolt-Areal” in Zurich.

In the south of Zurich, close to the Sihl, a new housing area is developed. The comp-shaped building’s open spaces incorporate the surrounding elements: while the eastern areas with their topography and the selected plants are influenced by the close landscape, the precisely designed courtyards in the western areas closely follow the design of the neighbouring yards.
