Being part of the waterscape experiment, this design studio concerns the shifting river landscapes of Switzerland. Existing sites are worked topographically at a –for architects - unusual large design scale. The design method combines traditional landscape design and modelling techniques with the use of advanced CNC technology.

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.).

Developing an urban planning concept for Schlieren East is the current task of the cities Zurich and Schlieren; this is our starting point as well as topic for the next semester. Students will define an urban planning programme for the whole area. In the following a location within the project perimeter will be chosen individually to be dealt with in landscape architectonical terms.

The Allmend Brunau in Zürich will be the subject of a spatial rogramme concerned with open space and designed to enhance the experience of the city walker. Students will focus on questions of distance, scale, scenography, programme, materiality and atmosphere in relation to a chosen walk across the new territory.

The alpine landscape is changing at an accelerated pace. This development is contrasted by a rudimentary description of the space as a basis for current planning. Against this background, we argue for a comprehensive and fine-grained profiling of the Alps as a starting point for the design of new landscapes. This under the premise of creating maximum difference.

The design semesters of Professor Vogt circle around the Alpine arc, following the thesis that it can be read as an urban Common Ground. Every semester, the task of verifying this thesis arises by focusing on a metropolitan region and asking about its specific relation to the alpine region.

The majority of currently existing alien tree species were introduced to Europe between the 17th and 19th centuries and have thus contributed to new landscape architectural typologies. The lecture offers an overview of these introduced plant species as well as an outlook on their potential in a rapidly changing climatic situation.

Experimental Landscape FurnitureThe Summer School is dedicated to the construction of seating furniture for a specific, chosen location in the urban landscape of the metropolitan area of Basel. We work in the workshop of the Vitra Design Museum as well as directly in the landscape.
