Evolution Design Transforms Former Newspaper Printing Centre into Innovative Business and Event Hub

SWITZERLAND -- /DESIGN/newswire -- Aug 16, 2020

Evolution Design's JED Project Transforms Industrial Site into a Collaborative Business and Event Hub in Schlieren, Switzerland

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

JED: Former Newspaper Printing Centre Conversion

Evolution Design has successfully transformed the former NZZ newspaper printing plant into JED, a dynamic business and event hub located in Schlieren, Switzerland. The project, which began in May 2016, is set to be completed by June 2021. JED aims to bring together innovation-driven companies in a space that combines industrial architecture with modern facilities, fostering creative collaboration, networking, entrepreneurship, and innovation.

The 35,000 square meter site offers a range of spaces, including offices, event locations, restaurants, coworking hubs, and a coffee roastery, all within unmistakable post-industrial architecture. The architectural concept focuses on structural diversity and spatial flexibility, retaining the scale of the former printing halls to create a sense of openness and industrial charm. The project showcases how industrial sites can be converted into socially valuable destinations that revive local activity and economy, creating a platform for entrepreneurship.

The main challenge was effectively adapting existing industrial buildings into an attractive, contemporary location that accommodates present-day business needs. Adapting 18-meter high halls, which housed 5-storey high printing machines, into modern workspaces and event locations proved to be a challenge for architects and engineers. The design process focused on delivering open, flexible architecture with spatial diversity and natural flow while still acknowledging the history of the building.
