Nt. Areal
NT Areal (non-territorial) is the first area with temporary use in Switzerland in which the development of the city was taken into account from the beginning. The initiative came from an association of individuals. Starting with a successful reconstruction of the former station canteen they boosted cultural rise of the whole area.
