Vacant space in Zurich is rare. When it is, it's often for a short period of time before a building is renovated or demolished. Temporary vacant spaces allow for a lot of creativity – lack of time to plan something, and so one is constantly in the now and you're constantly planning and reacting in the moment. Quality is in the process.

The programme included art performance, act paint, book and plant exchange, hairdressing in the evening, concerts, ceramics workshops, yoga, pop-up restaurant on weekends, a liquor bar, a reading and an exhibition that has constantly changed over time.
