This course introduces the fundamentals of building systems with a focus on ventilation and heating during fall and winter. Students investigate real buildings, analyze comfort needs, and design interventions that integrate passive and active strategies. Emphasis is placed on user well-being, resource consumption, and sustainable concepts for air supply and heat.
Building Systems 2 builds on the foundations established in Building Systems 1, extending the focus from ventilation and heating to daylight and cooling strategies for spring and summer. Students explore shading, photovoltaic integration, and energy storage through case studies and iterative design processes.
This online course provides an introduction to climate responsive design using the Hive tool and its application in early building design stages. Hive allows architecture and building science students to understand the relationship between architectural design, climate, comfort, and energy. Hive is a plugin for the 3D modelling environment Rhino and its visual programming interface Grasshopper.
The course 'Energy- and Climate Systems III' introduces computational design and analysis methods and tools for climate responsive architectural design. Exercises throughout the semester allow applying new concepts learnt in exemplary architectural design tasks.
Earth Building Workshop
Lehmbau Workshop
This one-week hands-on workshop focuses on the construction of a building façade using natural and reused materials. Participants will work on a façade for a container building on the Empa campus in Dübendorf, applying rammed earth and adobe brick techniques, and experimenting with different compositions and material applications. The workshop emphasizes practical experience, collaborative process

Focus Work Technology in Architecture (ITA)
Vertiefungsarbeit Technologie in der Architektur (ITA)
The focus work explores vertical extensions as a densification strategy using Zurich case studies from cooperatives and foundations. After analyzing existing conditions, two design scenarios (occupied vs. full renovation) are developed and compared to a replacement new-build, based on energy, comfort, CO₂, structural feasibility, and socio-economic impacts.
