TBZ Turm, Wooden tower at Technische Berufsschule, Zürich, Switzerland
The TBZ Turm stands 13.3 meters tall on the roof of the Technische Berufsschule, featuring a red wooden exterior and an observation platform at 9.6 meters.
German artist Daniel Roth designed this tower in 2003, drawing inspiration from Wladimir Shuchov's hyperboloid structure from 1896, and completed construction in 2005 for 420,690 CHF.
The tower represents a fusion of educational architecture and artistic expression, serving as a structural addition to the technical school's campus in Zürich.
Students can obtain access to the tower by leaving their student identification card as a deposit at the school library to receive the entry key.
The tower remained open for eight years after construction before closing due to student conduct issues, now requiring specific arrangements for access.
