AbstractHistory of Art and Architecture since the 1970s
ObjectiveThe course target is to let the students gain a overview of a line of formative occurrences, works of art, buildings and theories from the early nineteen-seventies. The students should become sensitive for questions and problems in the field of history and theory and they should increasingly be able to relate their own praxis with historical relations.
ContentThe two-semester course offers an introduction to the history of modern and contemporary art and architecture since ca. 1970. Motivated by questions of the current discourse, central topics and exemplary works of art and architecture are discussed. Concepts such as "labor", "economy", "experience", "research", "nature", "diversity" or "surface" are used to focus on specific historical developments and connections. Art and architecture is considered as a field of cultural change as well as an indicator of social, economic, and political conflicts which in turn helps to understand historical dynamics.
Lecture notesA video documentation of the lecture class is available.

Acquiring the attitudes and tools to develop a historically informed reading of the built environment.
Acquiring the tools to be able to draw on historical, theoretical and critical research to nourish one's architectural culture.
ContentThe course History and Theory of Architecture I offers a chronological and thematic overview of the architecture and architectural theory produced in Europe from the 15th up to 19th century. Thematic lectures about key questions at play during the period will be combined with the in-depth analysis of historical buildings.
Themes will cover the emergence and development of Vitruvian design theory and practice up to the 19th century, and related issues such as the emergence of the architect; the media of architectural design and practice (drawings, models, building materials); patterns and media of dissemination and influence (micro-architecture, imagery); building types (the palazzo and the villa); questions of beauty and ornament; questions of patronage (e.g. the Roman papacy); the relation of buildings to the city (e.g. the development of European capitals); attitudes towards history (origin myths, historicism); the question of the monument.

The course Fundamentals of the History and Theory of Architecture I consists of different parts, each dealing with a particular area of research into the history of art and architecture
(1) Architecture and the book (M. Delbeke)
(2) Architectural media (L. Stalder).
(3) Architecture and art (P. Ursprung)
(4) Urbanism and the Commons (T. Avermaete)
LiteratureLiterature and handouts will be provided over the course of the term.

2 credits2UP. Ursprung
AbstractThis course is not offered in HS20.

The seminar takes a closer look at different forms of presentations and various ways of depositing holdings behind the scenes, including those of Graphische Sammlung ETH Zürich. Besides, the seminar will focus upon the impact of the specific character of a collection as well as of architecture.
ObjectiveStudents gain knowledge of different types of collections of selected museums. On approximately three to four museum visits (partly out of Zurich), they will engage themselves with forms of presentation of collections (for example classic exhibition halls for holdings or open storages) on one hand, and with requirements concerning an adequate storage of works of art on the other hand. These explorations enable students to understand the structures and forms of storages of collections, not least architecturally.
ContentWhere and how are – often very large – holdings in art museums stored if they are not on view? In what way do museums show their own works nowadays, and which strategies do they apply to avoid the negligence of the collection in comparison to the popular temporary exhibitions? Since art museums as institutions have been established in the 18th century, requirements and expectations in conjunction with collections have changed considerably. The students acquire knowledge on the basis of collections of various museums, among them the Graphische Sammlung ETH Zürich, how holdings are presented to the public, or else how they are stored behind the scenes. Furthermore, they discuss different solution approaches and their implications on architecture and – vice versa – the impact architecture has on storage and presentation.
LiteratureThe compulsory Texts will be available at the beginning of the seminar.
Prerequisites / NoticeThis course is not taking place in HS20!

Students have to attend regularly at the seminar inside and outside of ETH, to take part in the discussions and to prepare the selected texts. Each participant has to hold an input lecture.

The seminar is limited to 20 people. There will be a waiting list.

Please note:
3-4 meetings will take place outside ETH Hönggerberg and some at Graphische Sammlung ETH Zürich in the main building. Time for travel before and after the meetings is therefore necessary.

AbstractJoseph Beuys: Social Sculpture
The lecture will discuss the work of Joseph Beuys (1921-1986) in the context of the socio-political dynamics from the 1950s to the present day. The lecture is based on a book project on Joseph Beuys conducted in 2020
ObjectiveKnowledge of key works of art and concepts of Joseph Beuys.
Insight into the relation between contemporary and, architecture and politics.
ContentJoseph Beuys: Social Sculpture:
The lecture will follow the career of the most prominent German artists in the second halft of the 20th century and relate it to the most important political project of this era, namely the European integration. For a brief period of time - between the late 1960s and the early 1980s, art, and culture in general, get influential in the social and political realm.Beuys stands at the center of this historic constallation. While his work is gradually becoming a part of art history, some aspects remain present.

Abstract"Who Cares?" Architecture and Care: A collective Manifesto

What is care? Therapy, prevention, maintenance, affection, empathy, monitoring, paying attention?

Who takes care? Nurses, doctors, family members, scientists, shamans, architects?

What is cared for? Children, melting glaciers, birds, decaying houses?

Students are invited to give answers to these questions.
ObjectiveOur aim is to increase the knowledge and sensitivity of architecture students toward the issue of care, to make their voices heard and to develop a new teaching form for the history and theory of architecture. Students will be familiar with theories and practices of care, they will learn to take position in a field, they will practice argumentation and increase their writing skills.

AbstractIn this subject semester titled ‘Building Local - Printing Global 1450-1850’ we examine the role locality plays in architecture and architectural theory in this period. Focussing on the relationship between books and architecture, we explore both local architecture in Switzerland and locality in buildings in major cities as Rome, Paris and London vs. the globality of early-modern print culture.
ObjectiveAfter this semester students will have the ability to write an academic paper, and develop an attitude of research, to find their own ways to approach architectural questions. All members of the chair will provide input, in both content and methodology. Weekly group meetings and individual supervision by the chair members will train the students in academic researching and writing. Exchanges with the researchers at the chair are also beneficial to further their research themes and teaching.

The students are also trained in developing a critical outlook, following the idea of: ‘In more general terms, much of what happens in the built environment is only marginally concerned with architecture; looking at the history of the built environment through the lens of architecture, as we do here, leaves much unseen [...] Buildings do not express meaning on their own, but as elements of an environment, or in dialogue with images and texts found in books, plates or, indeed, buildings’.
ContentFocussing on ‘Building Local - Printing Global 1450-1850’ the courses and meetings will examine the role locality plays in architecture and architectural theory in this period. We will explore for example how locality is expressed in a building, what role materiality plays, the tensions between the vernacular and the classical, etc., with Rome, Paris, London and Switzerland as focus and locus points. Students propose their own topic within this theme. The concept of 'in situ' functions as a theoretical concept to think about these topics and the general theme. Students can choose to study books, buildings, cities, and sites to further explore this.

The History Studio will teach the students to be both historically and critically competent. Far from being univocal, the relation between certain cities and specific media can be looked at as exemplary. Already one of the chair’s strengths, the built and the printed will be analysed in relation with their geographical contexts. Starting from Rome, Paris, London and Switzerland we look at the wider impact of architecture by means of printed media. Tracing the development of major cities in print, the course does not follow a chronology, but zooms in on specific examples.

The dialogue between the printed and the built will take shape in the different seminars and meetings. A diversity of buildings and sites will be examined, within the context of the diversity of printed media. The treatise, the guidebook, the builder’s manual, the novel, the journal, the pamphlet, the travelogue, all offer entrances into the complex world of early modern print culture.

Touching upon precise examples, the interventions search for, test and highlight the limits of historical narratives. On the one hand, the idea is to convey the necessity of a canonical history; on the other hand, it is to search and test approaches and methods of enquiry that challenge that canon and propose a different history.

We will examine how books travel, and the impact of certain books and treatises on the places they travelled to. We study the movement of the book and its impact on architectural culture, or the dialogue it created with architectural culture in a variety of locales (eg. those considered ‘peripheral’ next to European contexts) to trace how ideas move. This puts the global movement of print at the front and centre.

AbstractCities have always been places of common resources and practices. While designing and constructing the architecture of the city, architects, urban designers, builders, inhabitants have had to engage with a pool of common resources: inherited common-pool resources (water, nature, air); material common-pool resources (clay, brick, stone, wood) and immaterial common-pool resources (craft, knowledge).
ObjectiveThe subject semester or "Ffachsemester" has two objectives. First, is to develop an ‘Archeology’ of Zürich Commons. In this part, the work of the urban historian or theoretician is understood as an archeological venture: the city will be regarded as an enigma that needs to be deciphered. The result will be a systematic, analytical account of how the architecture of the city has time-and-time-again provided a framework for commoning, how common resources manifest themselves, and how, as urban figures, they impact the fabric of cities. Second, is to develop an ‘Ecology’ of Zürich commons. In this part the question of how the commons are experienced, practiced and developed in the city of Zürich until today is scrutinized. Students will probe into the city to analyze the character and role of common pool resources (green space, open space, water, materials, typologies, etc…) and the way that the citizens of Zürich have engaged, and are engaging, with them.
ContentCities have always been places of common resources and common practices. While designing and constructing the architecture of the city, architects, urban designers, builders, and inhabitants have had to engage with a pool of common resources in particular places and geographies: inherited common-pool resources (water, nature, air); material common-pool resources (clay, brick, stone, wood); and immaterial common-pool resources (craft, knowledge). This understanding of the city, as related to common resources and practices, has gained renewed attention, as neoliberalism replaces ever-shrinking welfare structures, and global urbanisation is accompanied by rising inequality. It is not only architects and urban designers who are again becoming interested in alternative principles of pooling common resources, but also political circles and society at large. Some of these issues – generally called ‘the commons’ – have also received growing academic attention in the last decades, in the fields of critical urban studies, urban history, urban geography and the social sciences. This fachsemester probes into the rich history of ‘the commons’ in the city of Zürich, understood from an architectural, spatial and material perspective. It will explore how common practices and resources have affected the architecture of the city, and conversely how the built environment has structured common practices and facilitated access to common resources. The research will unlock an alternative reading of the urban and architectural qualities of the built environment of the city.
Prerequisites / NoticeA student can only register once for a "Fachsemester" during the Master studies!

Self-dependent work.
Enrollment on agreement with the chair only.
Meetings as required and after consultation with the chair (Wednesdays).

The collective and individual projects together will offer an alternative reading, which retro-actively traces the urban territory and architectural quality of the city of Zurich back to the local common resources and common practices. The different materials – texts, drawings, models – will be combined in an atlas, which presents this alternative reading to a larger audience.

ContentTOPIC 1 (to choose from): Baroque period alterations to late Gothic vaults in Bavaria and Upper Austria
Analogous to the construction principle of a wedge arch, masonry vaults are only stable when they are finished and closed. Opening a vault - for example for renovations
or repairs - is therefore a delicate operation in which the stability of the entire structure is at stake. Nevertheless, such interventions were carried out in earlier centuries with the technical means available at that time.
Methods and techniques that were used in historical vault conversions can be examined using a group of late Gothic churches in southeastern Bavaria and neighboring Upper Austria. These churches, which were built in the 15th century, are characterized by a common architectural feature: a pillar arranged in the central axis of the nave forms the central support of the vaults. This central pillar, which stood in the line of sight in front of the choir room and the high altar, was perceived as disturbing in the Baroque period, so it was removed in some cases. The vaults were usually not completely replaced, but only around the pillar
removed and then - with a significantly larger span - closed again. How exactly such an operation took place has not yet been clarified and will be investigated as part of the semester through building research at several churches. To do this, the geometry of the vault is first recorded using a 3D laser scan. Traces of the renovation are documented in drawings and photographs. Insightful
Findings can be found mainly on the top of the vault, i.e. in the attic of the church, e.g. Iron slugs with which the newly inserted vault was suspended from the wooden roof. A comparison of the different vaults should clarify to what extent
the methods of the baroque master builders differ from case to case. Explanation of the findings from the investigation in a written paper (approx. 20 pages, plans, illustrations). Building research on the vaults: approx. Three work campaigns, each lasting several days. Objects of investigation: Churches of Anger and Tacherting, Spitalkirche von Braunau, Church of Hochburg-Ach. Information: Clemens Voigts voigts@arch.ethz.ch.


TOPIC 2: The roof structure of the parish church of St. John the Baptist in Bernhardzell SG
The parish church in Bernhardzell SG, consecrated in 1779, is the main work of the Vorarlberg master builder Johann Ferdinand Beer (1731–1789). This church, consecrated to John the Baptist, stands out from the typical St. Gallen country churches of saddle-roofed hall buildings in two ways: firstly, it is a central building and secondly, it is covered by a mansard roof.
The aim of the semester is to thoroughly examine and document the almost 17 m wide roof structure of the Berhandzell Church. This includes an outline of the planning and construction history based on the published research literature. The history of the restoration of the church in the 20th century is to be processed using the tangible files in the archives.
In addition to a detailed description, a 3D model of the roof structure including the cross arms is created, which is to serve as the basis for cuts along the main trusses. For individual nodes, such as the head and foot zones of the mansard construction and the hanging columns, isometric exploded views are to be created, at which the hidden carpentry-like connections and the built-in iron elements can be seen. In addition to the system of symbols, the various traces of processing and manufacturing on the wood are meticulously documented.
The aim of the work will also be to didactically process the complex construction using the 3D model, plans and photos in order to make the roof of the church in Bernhardzell familiar to a wider audience.
Prerequisites / NoticeA student can only register once for a "Fachsemester" during the Master studies!

The requirements for this subject semester are interest in the material as well as experience with and knowledge of historical wooden structures and the methods of building research.
Ideally, the student has heard Prof. Holzer's lectures on construction history or does so during the semester. It is also beneficial to have attended the case studies exercise.

AbstractCorrective historiographies for architectural research
ObjectiveAcquiring insight into advanced research methods available to PhD-researchers in the fields of the history and theory of art and architecture.
ContentIn an era of postcolonial theory and reflection, architectural historiography is faced with a series of new challenges and ambitions, concerning its subjects and its methods.

This course will reflect upon three of them: the death of the author, center and meta-theory. A first point investigates how recent scholarship seems to dissociate from histories of single and all-decisive authors, to make way for perspectives that render buildings and neighborhoods as a matter of negotiation between multiple agencies. Second, this course will dwell upon the Euro-American bias of our histories, as well as its implicit center-periphery model, and look at recent attempts to tell more cross-cultural historiographies of architecture. Third, the course will discuss the strong meta-theoretical bias of postcolonial historiography (using theories of power, alterity, gender) and question if this has not resulted in disqualification of the material and formal presence of architecture in our history writing.

This threefold change in architectural historiography seems to coincide with a shift in the contemporary discourses on the changing role of the architect, the cooperative character of architectural practice and the renewed interest in the craft. The course will question the productiveness of these resonances between historiography and design practice.
