FROM STRADA NUOVA
FROM STRADA NUOVA
We start the semester with a three-day excursion to Genoa, where we will study the basic principles of a timeless, urban architecture on the basis of selected buildings. Genoa is a dense and varied port city with spectacular waterfront infrastructure and buildings high up in the steep hills above the sea. Genoa is also the city of the famous “Strada Nuova”, a Renaissance and Baroque street that is still praised today as an ideal of urban architecture.
This is where we begin our common journey of discovery, open and experimental, but also analytical and critical. The design process will follow three steps: First the documentation of the Genoese example, then the formulation of architectural principles and finally, building on these principles, a new design, the project for an ideal architecture. It is not about a place or a concrete program, but about the essence of the architectural form: body, space, type, structure and material.
Finding his or her own architectural language is the most important but also most difficult task for an architect. Because the lack of architectural vocabulary – or images, forms, structures and principles – leaves the architect speechless. This language, this repertoire of architectural forms and principles is what our studio is all about: All students develop their repertoire during the course of the semester to figure out their own notion of an ideal architecture. But ideal doesn’t only mean beautiful, perfect and aspirational, but also and foremost “based on an idea”. The students will develop individual architecture-ideas, which shall always be available and newly applicable while designing.
This process will be facilitated by references and examples – in this semester from Genoa – because architecture is learnt by studying other buildings and designs and translating them into one’s own images. The first step is to travel, go there and look. Thereby, it is crucial to understand “seeing” as the first creative act. Invention emerges from contemplation. Documenting becomes designing. And so we design new architecture by creatively and critically dealing with the forms which architectural history handed down to us.

TO MAIN STREET
TO MAIN STREET
The second semester of our studio is the conceptual counterpart to the first semester: The ideal form without place and time is contrasted with the real project in a real environment in the here and now. The Prachtsstrasse becomes the “Main Street”.
In the context of Basel's inner city, we examine the phenomenon of the shopping streets. The “Main Street“, the paradigm of the street as a place of exchange for civil society, is challenged today. The task is to find a visionary scenario for the contemporary needs of urban life and to create an architectural form for it. In which buildings, in which spaces do we want to shop, live, work, spend our leisure time? All students will design a concrete project, a building for the “Main Street” of the future.“
Real Architecture” studio methodically refers to “Ideal Architecture” studio: the principles are adopted from the first semester and further developed in order to be linked with the specific aspects of site and function. The abstract idea of architectural form is thus translated into a concrete and specific phrasing. And here in its concrete use, form will gain its social, economical as well as political relevance. And the ideal should become real.

REAL ARCHITECTURE
KLYBECK
Spring semester 2019
(Selection)Drawing on the principles identified in the previous semester in Milan, a new project is designed in a former industrial area on the outskirts of Basel. This confrontation with a real context here and now, allows tackling contemporary dilemmas such as how living, working and producing could be combined in an urban realm, and aims to project a potential urban future.
A collection of drawings will be published in autumn 2019.

IDEAL ARCHITECTURE
MILAN
Fall semester 2018
(Selection)40 exceptional Milanese architectures were selected and analysed, to extract basic principles of architecture. The fundamental means of architectural design picked out from each precedent, were rearranged into a new project with no functional needs and no particular location: ideal architecture. A particular attention is set on the graphical representation of both the existing and the new project by means of suggestive colours and strong shadows, in order to highlight physical and spatial qualities of each design.
A collection of drawings will be published in autumn 2019.

MAHALLA REPORT
UZBEKISTAN
MAHALLA REPORTMahallas are an ancient form of „living together“, historically built around family ties and the daily life of the community. They are even integrated into the modern Uzbek constitution, which allows them to deal independently with all matters falling within their jurisdiction. Weddings, funerals, conflict resolution in the quarter and in the family, administrative activities and community celebrations take place in these neighbourhoods, which are still home to a large part of the Uzbek population. To date there are almost 10,000 Mahallas in Uzbekistan with an average of about 2,000 inhabitants. Depending of local culture, tradition, region and climate, various types of Mahallas developed over the centuries. But many Mahallas are disappearing due to high economic pressure, changed habits and lack of modern infrastructure.
A focus of our journey will therefore be the different types of Mahallas throughout Uzbekistan. On our journey along the Silk Road from Tashkent to the West we will not miss to visit important cultural sites and buildings in the cities of Tashkent, Samarkand, Bukhara and Khiva. From the monumental Koranic schools of the 15th century to the Soviet reconstruction of Tashkent after the 1966 earthquake.
The social organization of the Mahallas and their various architectural forms are of high interest because they represent alternative models of urban society. At a time when the anonymous megacity and its ecosystem are literally reaching their limits, the need for an alternative is greater than ever. The example of the Mahalla can make an important contribution to this.
With photography and film, we will capture our journey and especially the Mahallas. The internationally renowned Uzbek contemporary artist Saodat Ismailova, whose film work revolves around the ancestral traditions of Uzbek society, will accompany and support us through the trip. The photographer and publisher Giovanna Silva will also be part of the journey and help us to capture these communities and their fascinating habitat.

L’AZZURO DEL CIELO
FUNERARY MONUMENTS AND SPACES OF COMMEMORATION IN ITALY«Wenn wir im walde einen hügel finden, sechs schuh lang und drei schuh breit, mit der schaufel pyramidenförmig aufgerichtet, dann werden wir ernst und es sagt etwas in uns: Hier liegt jemand begraben. Das ist architektur.»
Adolf Loos, Architektur, 1910According to Adolf Loos, only a very specific realm of architecture belongs to the discipline of art: the monument, and the tombstone. Hereby he points to the latent a-functionality of these architectures, whose built form serves a merely representational function. The site and form of the final resting place has evolved throughout history from the pyramids to the rental of a tree for burial of ashes. To the variety of rituals enacted according to different religious customs, corresponds the great extent of architectural and urban translations of the funeral monument. From the tomb to the catacomb, from the tumulus to the mausoleum, from the catafalque to the crypt, from the cemetery to the necropolis, the typology of the architectures of Death essentially evokes the idea of shelter, while serving as a tribute to past greatness, emphasized by the suggestive and allegorical meaning of art.
As a basin of cultures and religions, Italy showcases the powerful and singular position death has always occupied within society and the city. This role is translated in a collection of funerary monuments, which are paramount to the understanding of Architecture, from the Etruscan obsession with death to the Rossian urbanism of melancholy. Re-enacting a possible Grand Tour through Italian cities – and landscapes – we will visit mausoleums of the great emperors, the vast and urban Etruscan necropolis, labyrinthine Neapolitan catacombs, the Piranesian tombs on the via Appia, family chapels of the Renaissance, 19th century monumental cemeteries as well as their contemporary interpretations, in search for the fields, spaces, and devices of commemoration.

GRAND TOUR
LONDON / BATH
ITALY AND GREECE THROUGH THE EYES OF BRITISH ARCHITECTSAs travelling became a means of discovery accessible to a privileged few in the 17th century, touring acquired a new value for architects and artists.
Simultaneously with the start of archeological documentation, which allowed study of the seemingly inaccessible, the Grand Tour grew to be considered as an educational tool.
How did these travellers use the information gathered on their journeys, how did they make it available and implement them in their designs? In a series of Grand Tours we will first look at the interpretation in order to better look at the interpreted. This semester, we will start in England as the birthplace of so many Grand Tourists.
The chosen sites and visits in London and Bath will reflect upon two ways of interpretation. On the one hand we will look at the discoveries and sketches, the drawings and artifacts, as well as the museums and archives: the British Museum, the RIBA Drawing Collection, Victoria & Albert Museum, as well as the Drawing Matter collection which will give us insights into the two-dimensional projects, the representation of architecture. On the other hand, we will appraise direct applications, where built interpretations are embedded in a contemporary context. Inigo Jones, John Nash, John Soane and Edwin Lutyens’ masterpieces will be confronted with James Stirling, Richard Rogers, and Venturi Scott-Brown’s modern translations.

RESEARCH
Research at the chair encompasses different aspects, which all together aim at drawing nearer to the essence of architectural form.
An open lecture series introduces different positions on the relation between architectural form and construction: Alejandro de la Sota’s alternative vernacular Modernism, Herzog & De Meuron subversive use of material and Hans Poelzig’s elaborate construction themes generated through form. Through case studies of different projects, the development and strengthening of an architectural language is investigated, found and lost, or interpreted.
Drawing on the studio travels taken to pick a useful repertoire, the seminar weeks’ conceptual thread follows the idea of the Grand Tour. As travelling became a means of discovery accessible to a privileged few in the 17th century, the Grand Tour grew to be considered as an educational tool. How did these travellers use the information gathered on their journeys, how did they make it available and implement them in their designs? The research looks at the interpretation in order to better look at the interpreted and investigates the influence of travelling on architectural design throughout history, until today when the idea of travelling is questioned by digital mediums and ecological issues.
In the course of an earlier assignment at the ETH – the chair proceeded to the exposition of more than 350 buildings from eight cities (Hong Kong, Rome, New York, Buenos Aires, Paris, Delhi, Sao Paulo, Athens), classified according to their typological attributes. Making use of this bulk of documents, as well as precious knowledge on the definition of types, the history of typology and the use of types during design process, the chair is carrying on the research, through the development of an innovative teaching format.

Emanuel Christ & Christoph Gantenbein, «Typology – Hong Kong, Rome, New York, Buenos Aires»
Edited by Emanuel Christ, Victoria Easton, Christoph Gantenbein, ETH Zurich
With essays by Fernando Diez, Francesco Garofalo, Carol Herselle Krinsky and Hendrik TiebenOver two years of academic research as Assistant Professors at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) in Zurich, Emanuel Christ, Christoph Gantenbein and their Research Team selectively analysed 160 buildings from Hong Kong, Rome, New York and Buenos Aires.
This inventory of 20th-century metropolitan and essentially ubiquitous building production represents a systematic yet subjective compilation of urban architecture.

Edited by Emanuel Christ, Victoria Easton, Christoph Gantenbein, Cloé Gattigo, ETH Zurich
With essays by Anupam Bansal, Emanuel Christ, Christoph Gantenbein, André Lortie, Thomas Maloutas, Rafael Moneo, and Nadia SomekhFollowing-up on the preceding “Typology: Hong Kong, Rome, New York, Buenos Aires” published in 2012, the chair expanded its research on building typology to four more metropolises, again in Europe, Latin America, and Asia.
180 buildings were analyzed and documented with an image, site and floor plans, axonometric projection, key data, and a brief description. An introduction and four essays on the interaction between various protagonists and in particular the effect of governing local building regulation show the potential for contemporary urban architecture. The result is a rich sourcebook of great practical value for students, lecturers and practitioners of architecture.

HONG KONG TYPOLOGY:
AN ARCHITECTURAL RESEARCH ON HONG KONG BUILDING TYPESBy Emanuel Christ, Christoph Gantenbein, ETH Zurich
With essays by Emanuel Christ, Christoph Gantenbein, Nele Dechmann and Hendrik TiebenPublished on the occasion of the exhibition “Hong Kong in Zurich: A Typological Transfer” at the Istituto Svizzero, Venice, part of the series Teaching Architecture: 3 Positions Made in Switzerland.
Nowhere do buildings express density better than in Hong Kong. Beyond the fascination with global urban phenomena or romantic patchwork-like images, it is by understanding its built fabric and analysing its architectural legacy that we can begin to grasp its manifest beauty. In Hong Kong, the immediacy of the need for both living and working environments produces pragmatic and radical answers to the lack of space, which all have a strong architectural consequence. This very precise development of new typologies hides a mannerist precision behind an unadorned bare aspect. Hong Kong Typology presents a thorough study and a precise selection of Hong Kong’s relevant building types of the 20th century. As an approach to its multifaceted collection of buildings, 36 case studies were classified in seven different categories and illustrated with photo, floor plan and axon.
