With the aim of building a community, we propose to work with a collective housing program but also with a community centre or small theatre, which will help to make a change of scale to a larger community, where more people now enter. The new program should be inserted in this place in the way that each student thinks is most useful.

Talking about building communities we think about a new community built within the city that exists, inviting new neighbours to interact with those who already live there. We propose to work in urban contexts in transformation, observing/identifying the valuable social/physical qualities embedded in the area and testing its capacity to be expanded/amplified as a basis to create a new urban chapter

After two semesters focussing our design studio on the city of Barcelona, we will now work on a very central area of Zurich: the neighbourhood of Neugasse and its relationship with the Gleisfeld.
