Jugendkulturhaus Dynamo, Creative arts center in Zürich, Switzerland
Jugendkulturhaus Dynamo is an arts center in Zürich housing workshops for metalworking, recording studios, and graphic design spaces. The facility contains equipment for photography development, screen printing, jewelry making, and ceramic 3D printing activities.
The building dates to 1772 when it operated as a spa along the Limmat River. It later served as a brewery before the city acquired it in 1906 and eventually transformed it into a cultural center for young people.
This space functions as a meeting place for young people exploring music, theater, and performance together. Visitors gather for concerts, shows, and collaborative creative projects that shape the social rhythm of the venue.
The center is located at Wasserwerkstrasse 21 and is easily accessible on foot or by public transportation. Visitors should know that many workshops and activities operate during specific hours and advance registration may be required.
The venue emerged from youth activism in the 1980s when young people demanded more spaces for creative expression and independent culture. The city made a substantial investment in renovations and extensions to bring the project to life.
