We aim to seize economic requirements to transform constraints into levers, producers of qualities. These may well be tangible or intangible, prosaic or poetic, constant or unstable, general or occasional... As long as they are initiated by the economy and located far from any rationality. Creating generosity, “excesses” that make the strength and uniqueness of a place.

RE-Thinking-RENevertheless, the RE-prefix. In all its newfound ambitions and its very first fragile exercises in recent decades. Yet a critical RE-considering is not wrong now, or early at all. To keep pace with the idea that RE-USE should be more and should be part of RE-attitude. So just to be more than physical RE-use and rather to be physical RE-attitude.

The 33.3%-STUDIO will explore the possibilities of a more restrained, humble but precise action. This is in many ways an attitude of economy of means. Less energy of action, of course, means less economy and ecology, but it could also require changing the attitude of use effectively today. This could also make it a question of ergonomics: how to USE the given context differently and yet act less.

The 33.3%-STUDIO explores the possibilities of a humble but precise act. In FS23 we look at zones of small-scale houses that will be replaced by multi-family houses. If this tendency continues, the consequences for the city are drastic. How can we intervene into these zones with a smaller but more precise act? How can we project a future beyond the well-known strategies of total replacement?

Architecture defines the spaces in which we live and work in during every moment of our lives. We will study the large scale in which the work of an architect has an impact on the biggest possible amount of people. A house as big and complex as a whole village. The design work is understood as an investigation on the daily conditions of our times, through the media of architecture.

The project encompasses the conception of an Indigenous University as well as the architectural planning and building of the campus in southern Colombia.This subject will be treated over two semesters, HS19 and FS20, even it is only possible to apply for one semester.

Do we need new museums? Instead of conveying narratives of power and of how things have always been, new museums could be places of exchange, where the old and the new are present and where different voices are invited to contribute to continuing stories about art and society.

The starting point of the semester in the form of existing, former diploma topics not only offers students the possibility to develop an independent, critical design position, but also the freedom to choose the scale that most interests them.

Atemberaubend, aufwühlend, beängstigend – eine Fahrt über oder durch das Gotthardmassiv lässt nicht gleichgültig. Staumeldungen, Sagen, Passfahrten, Eisenbahnbau und Réduit haben den Mythos Gotthard tief im nationalen Verständnis verankert.

In the Studio "Alpnach Riviera" students will be looking for an innovative topological approach within the existing constraints of the SarnerAa river space by the Paul Scherrer Institute.

Amplitude. Dynamic landscape structures for the Zealand.The search for future-oriented strategies in dealing with these extremes requires a paradigm shift - from fighting against to working with natural processes. It is necessary to lay new landscape structures that can deal with the fluctuations of the amplitudes.
