About this audio guide
This guide to Markthalle IM VIADUKT in Zurich follows the railway arches back to the eighteen-nineties, when as many as two hundred stonemasons worked stone yards under these vaults, and one granite cutter's neighbor earned a nickname for an entirely different cargo. It traces the arches through decades of dust and grit toward the city's search for what should replace it once the stonemasons left. Listen for the same working noise the market makes now, echoing off the same stone.
