Architectural Design - Campus Design
Entwurf - Campus Design
This part of the curriculum addresses design work in different areas of architecture and urbanism and integrates the knowledge acquired in previous years. It involves the active participation of specialists from related disciplines (e.g. building structures, landscape architecture, history of art and architecture, monuments conservation etc.).
"Difference/Repetition" invokes identity and sameness, evolution and change, patterns and habits, originality and copy, time and recurrence, beat and rhythm. All things seemingly constant, all shades of their endless variations. How may such abstract notions contribute to shape immaterial processes and crystallize timeless and paradigmatic urban environments?
Focus on the city of London: Rich history, possibilities. As the framework of our prospective investigation, it shall evoke an array of fantasies and trigger multiple narrative potentials.The careful and critical consideration of architectural paragons, socio-economical dynamics, geopolitical shifts, further endowed with the lure of fiction shall initiate new beginnings to alternate (hi)stories.
PATHFINDER 2 focuses on the city of Istanbul: its rich history, morphology, mythology… all canonic spatial perimeters as suggested by Lefebvre: political, sociological, anthropological, economical. As the framework of our prospective investigation, it evokes an array of fantasies and triggers multiple narrative potentials.
WALLNESS, through technical and cultural considerations, overturns the act of building and opens up a conversation. Insulation is now an integral part of the repertoire of architectural elements, while thermal engineering reveals unsuspected fields of construction. The quest for comfort in interior spaces calls into question the nature of the building envelope.
In healthy ecosystems there is not such a thing as waste, as every discarded component get digested, transformed, or reused. Is this also an option for places resulting of the accumulation of our anthropogenic wastes? Which ecologies might emerge from a site as the Pila landfill in Fribourg?
Let’s build a circular city, transiting towards a zero-waste community.The promise of unlimited growth perpetuates our culture of unsustainable material flows and the production of junk products. Could we value resources, act socio-ecological responsive, and design a Circuit-Workshop prototype into a system of productive public spaces, as commons for work and community?
Architectural Design V-IX: What Counts? – Metabolism II (A.Gigon)
Entwurf V-IX: Was zählt? Stoff-Wechsel II (A.Gigon)
Ecological issues have been current since the 1970s, but, despite all attempts to counter the trend, worldwide energy consumption has continued to increase unabatedly since then, The main problem is the associated greenhouse-gas emissions, a large proportion of which are caused by buildings, i.e. their construction and operation.
The pressure of capital is consuming the open spaces that have provided the slack for the experimental uses of Zürich. This semester we will engage with the spirit of the second phase of modernism, and deploy some of its instruments to resist these forces, encouraging instead the conditions of openness and inclusion that were possible in the ruins of the 70s.
Space is not neutral and has been extensively used to empower normative bodies excluding wilder ways of being. This studio will address how society defines and regulates bodies and their interdependencies through the built environment. It will envision alternative scenarios for Zürich in which disruptive relationalities, crip behaviors, new care practices, and formulations of kinship are built.
This semester we will work in the village of Ennenda, a place with a long history and a diverse legacy of buildings. While agriculture is very present in the village and its surroundings, factories that are part of supply chains within the Glarus valley, employ almost one thousand people.
Architectural Design V-IX: for example Arni (GD L.Bollinger)
Entwurf V-IX: zum Beispiel Arni (GD L. Bollinger)
We aim to understand Arni in the Aargau region as a typical village from socio-economic, ecological, cultural, and architectural perspectives. We seek to find an intuitive and poetic approach, exploring solutions for livable and sustainable villages through projects at various scales. Our focus is on precise interventions.
Das Semester beginnt mit einer Bestandsanalyse des Casino-Baus und des historischen, gesellschaftlichen und städtebaulichen Kontextes, um vorhandene Potentiale aufzudecken und darauf aufbauend Eingriffs-Strategien zu entwickeln.
Architectural Design V-IX: Ämtli für Städtebau (GD C.Zille/ZAS*)
Entwurf V-IX: Ämtli für Städtebau (GD C.Zille/ZAS*)
In the fall semester, we invite you to become accomplices of ZAS* and turn the Ämtli into a satellite of ZAS* Studio Hönggerberg. In order to deal with the ambiguity of growth, we will explore specific places within and beyond the current city boundaries.
This semester, we would like to invite you to explore the environmental and social impact of the Swiss data cloud. How can we study securitized spaces of minimal human presence? Who controls the use of data? Can data centres serve as public assets. How can data centres be designed to contribute better to a just transition and to urban life?
