National Future Day at Fanzun

On Thursday, 12 November 2026, our Chur offices filled with childlike curiosity. Eight pupils spent the National Future Day with us and enjoyed a day full of insights. They did not just listen. They drew, assembled and tested things themselves. They also visited an apartment building and asked many questions.

 

Insight into our daily work

After a welcome, we introduced the pupils to Fanzun and our specialist departments. On a tour of our offices, they saw how experts from different disciplines work together.

 

Visit to an apartment building in Scharans

A highlight of the day was the visit to the Linda apartment building in Scharans. The pupils learned how the new building fits into the protected village centre. The timber façade recalls the former stable and the old linden tree on the church square. This showed them the ideas behind a design and which disciplines work together to realise it.

 

Hands-on afternoon: civil engineering and architecture

In the afternoon, the pupils worked at two stations. In civil engineering, they used a building model to examine how a house reacts to an earthquake. They then drew at the computer in CAD and saw their designs as a 3D animation. In architecture, the pupils assembled a building model, designed the façade and planned the surroundings. This showed them how an idea becomes a design. To finish the day, the participants tested their new knowledge in a playful Kahoot quiz.

 

Inspiring the next generation for construction careers

The National Future Day gives young people the chance to get to know different professions and gain first practical experience. We are happy to open our doors on this day and show how varied the work at Fanzun is.

 

The question and feedback session at the end of the day showed that the pupils were amazed by the many tasks and opportunities in our industry. We are delighted that we could give eight young people an insight into our work. We hope the day sparked enthusiasm for architecture, engineering and all the other professions in planning and building.
