Last Updated: 2026-06-03 00:14:00
Abstract
The seminar provides a historical contextualization of 'Analoge Architektur' and examines the influence of this school of thought on the recent and very recent building stock. Based on this analysis, it addresses the challenges in assessing these young buildings from a heritage preservation perspective.
Objective
In addition to active participation in discussions, students engage with a self-chosen topic or object in order to develop and clearly articulate their own position. The course aims at introducing methods of academic research while fostering communication skills and a culture of constructive debate.
Content
In the spring semester of 2026, the seminar focuses on the recent build-ing stock in Switzerland, paying particular attention to the impact of the 'Analoge Architektur' on architectural production since 1987. It discusses the challenges of assessing this building stock for its heritage value. The invited guests reflect on their time as “Analogs” at ETH Zurich and present their built works. Selected projects will then be examined in detail and discussed, addressing questions such as: How did 'Analoge Architektur' shape the building stock of the 1990s and 2000s? Why is 'Analoge Architektur' significant for the heritage of recent architecture in Switzerland? Which buildings should be preserved to highlight its legacy? What challenges arise in assessing this architecture? And how did 'Analoge Architektur' influence the practice of building within existing structures?
