\n MFO-Park, Zurich\n <\/h1>\n

After 100 years, the Maschinenfabrik Oerlikon (MFO) reached the end of its operational life. Today on this site in the north of Zurich, the public can enjoy a vast pergola nestled at the heart of a dense urban area. Burckhardt worked with Raderschall Landschaftsarchitekten to design this unique \u00abpark house\u00bb, whose dimensions match those of the former factory building.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n
