Itten+Brechbühl creates demountable timber sports hall for University of Zurich

Swiss architecture studio Itten+Brechbühl has created a temporary timber university sports hall in Zurich, with aspirations for its demountable construction to be "the new standard in architecture".

Shortlisted in the sustainable building category of Dezeen Awards 2024, Sporthallenprovisorium Gloriarank replaces four sports halls at the University of Zurich with its glued laminated timber (glulam) structure clad in larch timber.
