Fixed It For You (10 Photos)

Sometimes the best repairs don’t come from the city—they come from artists with a sense of humor and a sharp eye for flaws worth fixing. In this collection, utility boxes, potholes, and cracked concrete all get unexpected upgrades. From David Zinn’s chalk creatures running a waffle business to a derelict bus stop turned into The Simpson’s living room, these clever interventions take broken, boring, or overlooked spots and turn them into moments of delight.

🥇❄️ Mengke Zhang’s doctoral research at the College of Humanities (@CDH) explores how the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics catalyzed sweeping urban and social transformations in Chongli, a once-remote mountainous region in China, shedding light on how state-driven development reshapes everyday life.

Schwamendingen, one of Zurich's northern districts, tells the story of post-war urban expansion and its long-term consequences. These modest mid-century housing blocks were built in the 1950s and 60s as the city grew outward - functional, affordable, and placed right alongside the newly built motorway that would later cut through the neighborhood.

For decades, the A1L highway physically and socially divided the district (Kreis), isolating these buildings and their predominantly working-class and migrant residents from the rest of the neighborhood. Now, with the completion of the Schöneich Tunnel and the green lid (Autobahndeckel) covering the motorway, the urban fabric is being stitched back together.

But this reconnection comes at a price: land values rise, development pressure increases, and the social makeup of the area begins to shift. What was once a marginalized, overlooked corner of Zurich is becoming desirable terrain in a city of constant transformation.

Soon, these houses will be gone - making way for new buildings, new people, and their stories.

It's a different, less visible side of Switzerland - far from postcard clichés. Yet it is in places like this where much of urban life unfolds: diverse, ordinary, sometimes rough, but real.

Urban change always balances repair and displacement, renewal and erasure. Schwamendingen and Zurich today stand at this crossroads.
