Architectural Design IV: "Small Pleasures of Life" (A.Spiro)
Entwurf IV: "Small Pleasures of Life" (A.Spiro)
We design residential buildings in the urban context of the city of Zurich. From a selection of construction sites, you determine the best suited for your project and develop a specific form of living right down to the materialization in detail. Inspirational buildings, whose architectural elements and spatial situations are the inspiration for your living ideas, serve as the starting point.

Entwurf IV: Reale Architektur: Workspace (E.Christ / Ch.Gantenbein)
What will the workplace of tomorrow look like?Designing a project in four steps:1. Envisioning scenarios about the future of the workplace.2. Design of a spatial system to the scenario.3. Translating the system into an architectural structure in wood.4. Developing of the real project.
The provocation that ‘shopping is over’ which opened last semester HS20 has turned out be truer than imagined. Department stores are falling around the world. We will consider a future for the legendary Zurich department store Jelmoli. Not because it is failing, but because of its continued success.
The course covers the dynamics of carbon and nutrient between plants, microbiota, and soils in forested and agricultural landscapes. Through real case studies across pedoclimatic zones, we investigate: (i) carbon and nutrient fluxes from plot to regional scales; (ii) biogeochemical controls on cycling; and (iii) climate and land management effects on carbon fluxes in global change hotspots
The organization and functioning of academic research as well as academic publishing are introduced and applied: students critically review two term papers written by their student colleagues. Based on the reviews, the authors of the papers write reply letters and revise their own term papers. They finally present their topic during an in-house "mini-conference" with a talk.
Individual writing of an essay-type review paper about a specialized topic in the field of ecology and evolution, based on substantial reading of original literature and discussions with a senior scientist.
Conservation and restoration are interdisciplinary sciences that nonetheless are founded on fundamental ecological concepts. The course will explore theoretical underpinnings of conservation and restoration science that inform planning and implementation, and consequent outcomes. New concepts and emerging technologies will be explored, alongside case studies that inform discussions.
Landscape restoration and conservation is subject to biophysical, socio-economic, and political constraints, demanding socio-ecological systems understanding. Drawing on existing initiatives, and the perspectives of a range of stakeholders, students will explore how restoration might be implemented across social and environmental priorities in Scotland, a country undergoing rapid landscape change.
GIS III: Advanced methods & Competencies
GIS III: Advanced Methods & Competencies
This course provides an in-depth exploration of advanced spatial data modeling and analysis, including e.g. network or least-cost analyses. It introduces geoprocessing techniques using Python and ArcGIS, emphasizing the automation and scripting of complex GIS workflows.Upon completion, students will have acquired the technical and methodological foundations for advanced GIS analysis.
