052-0708-00LUrban Design IV Information 2 KP2VH. Klumpner, M. Fessel
KurzbeschreibungStudents are introduced to a narrative of 'Urban Stories' through a series of three tools driven by social, governance, and environmental transformations in today's urbanization processes. Each lecture explores one city's spatial and organizational ingenuity born out of a particular place's realities, allowing students to transfer these inventions into a catalog of conceptual tools.
LernzielHow can students of architecture become active agents of change? What does it take to go beyond a building's scale, making design-relevant decisions to the city rather than a single client? How can we design in cities with a lack of land, tax base, risk, and resilience, understanding that Zurich is the exception and these other cities are the rule? How can we discover, set rather than follow trends and understand existing urban phenomena activating them in a design process? The lecture series produces a growing catalog of operational urban tools across the globe, considering Governance, Social, and Environmental realities. Instead of limited binary comparing of cities, we are building a catalog of change, analyzing what design solutions cities have been developing informally incrementally over time, why, and how. We look at the people, institutions, culture behind the design and make concepts behind these tools visible. Students get first-hand information from cities where the chair as a Team has researched, worked, or constructed projects over the last year, allowing competent, practical insight about the people and topics that make these places unique. Students will be able to use and expand an alternative repertoire of experiences and evidence-based design tools, go to the conceptual core of them, and understand how and to what extent they can be relevant in other places. Urban Stories is the basic practice of architecture and urban design. It introduces a repertoire of urban design instruments to the students to use, test, and start their designs.
InhaltUrban form cannot be reduced to physical space. Cities result from social construction, under the influence of technologies, ecology, culture, the impact of experts, and accidents. Urban un-concluded processes respond to political interests, economic pressure, cultural inclinations, along with the imagination of architects and urbanists and the informal powers at work in complex adaptive systems. Current urban phenomena are the result of urban evolution. The facts stored in urban environments include contributions from its entire lifecycle, visible in the physical environment, but also for non-physical aspects. This imaginary city exists along with its potentials and problems and with the conflicts that have evolved. Knowledge and understanding, and critical observation of the actions and policies are necessary to understand the diversity and instability present in the contemporary city and understand how urban form evolved to its current state.

How did cities develop into the cities we live in now? Urban plans, instruments, visions, political decisions, economic reasonings, cultural inputs, and social organizations have been used to operate in urban settlements in specific moments of change. We have chosen cities that exemplify how these instruments have been implemented and how they have shaped urban environments. We transcribe these instruments into urban operational tools that we have recognized and collected within existing tested cases in contemporary cities across the globe.

This lecture series will introduce urban knowledge and the way it has introduced urban models and operational modes within different concrete realities, therefore shaping cities. The lecture series will translate urban knowledge into operational tools extracted from cities where they have been tested and become exemplary samples, most relevant for understanding how the urban landscape has taken shape. The tools are clustered in twelve thematic clusters and three tool scales for better comparability and cross-reflection.

The Tool case studies are compiled into a global urbanization toolbox, which we use as typological models to read the city and critically reflect upon it. The presented contents are meant to serve as inspiration for positioning in future professional life and provide instruments for future design decisions.

In an interview with a local designer, we measure our insights against the most pressing design topics in cities today, including inclusion, affordable housing, provision of public spaces, and infrastructure for all.

KurzbeschreibungLayers of diverse design logics determine the built environment, resulting in a heterogenous field of surfaces, materials, and objects. How do they contribute to a sense of play in the city?

Students will respond to this questions through short, experimental films that will aim to articulate how cities today may be reimagined and reappropriated by its inhabitants in new and inventive ways.
LernzielThrough a combination of practical exercises in video and audio techniques in parallel with the study of seminal observation-driven texts like, this course aims to equip students with the basic tools and core principles to create short but complex portraits of urban space.

This approach will be applied to the study of the built environment as a field of potential urban play. Through repeat observation, students will collectively create mosaics of their impressions, manifested through film.

Using widely available recording tools and editing software, students will turn their fieldwork into short video or audio works of about 3-5 minutes.
InhaltThe course will compose of lectures, practical crash courses in media use and storytelling, and fieldwork sessions. The course will be a laboratory in the creation of short media works that aim to inform the architectural design process, working between the city and the studio in ONA. Students will be expected to complete all required work within the hours that the elective meets, with few requirements outside of the class hours.

This course is offered the last time in FS23.
3 KP3GS. Wälty, H. Klumpner
KurzbeschreibungThe project addresses critical issues of urban planning by using cutting-edge technology for analysis and communication. Students actiely engage with building and zoning regulations ((i) reconstruct, (ii) reformulate and (iii)simulate/virtualise in web-based 4D urban models) as well as maintain an ongoing exchange through (peer) review activities in class.
Lernziel- Capture and analyse the past and present; and design, present and
discuss future living spaces in 4D.
- Read, understand, deconstruct and formulare new zoning and
building rules (BNO)s.
- Set up an ArcGIS Urban model and integrate current and new urban
rules and visualize/simulate dvelopment scenarios/variations of
uran designs.
- Learn from students from different disciplines through teamwork and
by peer-reviewing each other's work.
- System thinking through causel loops.
InhaltThis course addresses the crucial urban transformation issues of our time at the 10-minute-neighbourhood level. Technology, communicaiton and online learning materials are leveraged and opportunities for online interaction are combined with traditional pllace-based teaching methods. The course can be taught as elective with exercise and as an integrated discipline in design classes. In addition, the online material can be used for self-paced learning.
(i) Students actively engage with building and land use regulations by reconstruction them in a 3D model, formulating new 3D regulations based on design and land use criteria, and simulating possible developments based on existing building criteria in4D. As students from different disciplines work in teams and share knowledge through mutual work and peer reviews, they can learn from each other across disciplines.
(ii) Urban design lecturers can benefit from being relived of the task of teaching students software as part of the design class.
Voraussetzungen / BesonderesA time and workload (in addition to the course) of 70 hours is to be expected.

KurzbeschreibungHow can we as architects re-imagine Sarajevo– 40 years delayed development – as a space of freedom designing a Re-generative Olympic Legacy?
How can we engage the city's Olympic Spirit as a transformative force and question existing programs, resources, and imperfections?
How can we propose urban models for a sustainable future and
co-design citizens' ideas mending top down and bottom up?
LernzielStudents will be introduced to tools and immerse in our Chair’s “method-design” to step by step develop their individual prototypical design projects by:

1.) Base-Line: We design in a continuum of architectural, urban, and planning scales, and collaboratively develop a basis of how the city is now.
2.) Mapping: By identifying existing and future challenges and opportunities, we take the role of stakeholders and visualize our demands and resources into three different simulation scenarios.
3.) Concept Design: We develop an urbanistic synthesis and translate a concept into an evidence-based prototypical architectural project- intervention.
4.) Prototype Design: We present the synthesis of our process in time and space on different scales. We frame the design projects as a narrative, consequentially developed and communicated in analog and digital graphic representations.
5.) Upscaling: We test our project concepts and upscale prototypes through design-policy recommendations to make them transferable and situated in Sarajevo and other cities.

The basic thesis for this Studio is designing urban imaginaries, to open up a free space for the delayed Olympic Legacy and make it happen. We engage with Sarajevo, interlink urban memories with future visions, and re-activate collective action. Starting from the urban -in-between, the studio redefines the Olympics to build the city's future, designing inclusivity, and prototypical interventions, that are scalable, transferable, and playful, as a radical continuation of architectural design redefining the Olympic Games beyond sports.

The adaptive re-use and integration of remaining former Olympic infrastructures and symbolic sites can re-activate the Olympic legacy of transforming the existing and adding new structures to regenerate the city. Topics such as district design, heat reduction, green and blue infrastructure, water retention, densification and dedensification are addressed alongside atmospheric contamination. Fine dust, and CO2 have created during inversion weather one of the highest air contamination levels of any capital city in Europe compromising the health of Sarajevo’s people. Climate change is challenging necessary processes to re-planting the forest and trees of the city. The compliance with the targets and indicators of the SDGs pose considerable additional tasks to solve. In recent years, the bust and boom cycle in Sarajevo has put doubt on international urban upgrading models linked with opportunistic investments, gentrification, and short-term gains for private investors.

The Studio will be engaging with a multistakeholder team of experts from Sarajevo and Zürich. The Urban Transformation Project Sarajevo (UTPS) is developed between the Klumpner Chair of Architecture and Urban Design, Laboratory of Energy Conversion, ETH Zurich spin-off SwissAI, University of Sarajevo and Canton Sarajevo Institute of Planning and Development. The overarching key component of the project is the elaboration of the Urban Plan for Sarajevo until the year 2040.
InhaltStudents will re-imagining the 1984 XIV Olympic Winter Games and the conflicts the city endured in the 1990ties urbicide(1). Both events still activate the collective memory and contemporary imaginary in Sarajevo as moments of blood, tears, and sweat*. (2) The spectacle of the games accounted for the concentration of the events happening at a distance of fewer than 25 km around the city, making Sarajevo a total urban experience. Re-imagining the Olympics to build a city's future and the role for placemaking of contemporary architecture, urbanism, and culture.
What if after the games is before the next games? The reimagines a new Olympic legacy at the intersection of homegrown turbo architecture*(3). It raises the issue of the resources of the games on different scales and disciplines for the entire city, opening up a discussion on constructing new frontiers of re-activating, re-imagining, and re-constructing what is already there.
The fundamental questions of any large-scale event placinga city or an entire country on the world map, from the Olympic Games, Soccer World Cups, or world exhibitions, question to what extent; the event should be seen as temporary, or in what way architecture designs extend to something more permanent. This thinking includes existing, new buildings and infrastructure. Durability becomes a concept that questions circularity, reuse, and resources, metaphorically and practically, enhancing the city profile. How are the costs, benefits, and ownership distributed to the citizens and the urban development, commercialization, and media of events? Site, material, and stakeholder analysis of urban spaces and Olympic infrastructures, are design informants for the architecture and urban design processes, to transform this torn-city and re-wildered landscape into alternate active spaces of engagement in harmony with the environment.

The design studio focuses on the transformative redevelopment of the city on three scales and sites:
A_ General Urban Plan (GUP) Scale: 1:10.000
Ilidza, New City Center
Sarajevo as a whole, mobility systems, energy, urban expansion, water protection, geothermie, Sport Stadion

B_Regulatory Plan (RP) Scale: 1:1000
Novi Grad/ Transversale 6,
Climate Corridor of the Miljacka River, new cable Cars, and alternative mobility solutions for Hillside settlements, Hum and Zuć mountains

C_Architectural Prototype (AP) Scale: 1:500, 1:200
Novo Sarajevo. Public space,
University Campus, Culture and Sports real-world project-sites of delayed reconstruction and retrofitting extending and building new infrastructures.

We have developed a toolbox in our Urban Stories lecture series allowing internationally recognized development examples. Understanding permanent and temporary strategies such as Olympic sites in Athens, destruction and re-construction in Berlin, Chengyecheon River Park, Seoul, Isarpark, Schlachthof / Munich, Corredores Verdes / Medellin or Cali, communal target-plan Zurich, Closed Highways in Sao Paulo or Bogota, Etc. These spatial processes have followed a widely known practice of consolidating a sequence of transformations, short-term strategies for long-term value production. Neighborhoods are re-evaluated through investment often initiated by art, popular culture, local participation, and place-branding.
Urban- and Landscape Design can create a measurable impact in cities by increasing social justice, health, and wellbeing. The development of robust frameworks adaptable to change enable processes for regeneration with long-term operational, environmental and social benefits in response to global, local, and site-specific challenges. The role of architects is to imagine and model sustainable urban scenarios recognizing new possibilities, to create multidimensional transformative design strategies with long-term benefits for people and cities.

KurzbeschreibungThis course addresses the specificity of writing about the urban, landscape, and territory in the Anthropocene. The seminar surveys key writings, ideas, and figures in the Anthropocene debate in conversation with critiques from environmental humanities and postcolonial studies.
LernzielAnthropocene has emerged as a contested yet transdisciplinary term to describe the planetary condition under climate change and environmental catastrophe. While being attendant to its critiques, the Anthropocene discourse provides researchers from critical landscape and urban research to engage with a diversity of fields such as earth sciences, art, environmental humanities, agrarian, literary, and cultural studies. This course addresses the specificity of writing about the urban, landscape, and territory in the Anthropocene. The seminar surveys key writings, ideas, and figures in the Anthropocene debate in conversation with critiques from environmental humanities and postcolonial studies. A number of invited guests working at the forefronts of Anthropocene research will bring seminar participants into their research and writing process. Additionally, the seminar will offer a number of hands-on critical writing and peer-review sessions to help the seminar participants develop and work with the allegories of the Anthropocene.

Typically, the seminar sessions will alternate between inputs by invited guests, reading and discussion sessions, tutorials, and peer-review. The invited guests will provide a behind-the-scenes look into their writing process, including how they structure their arguments, organise their sources and materials, and find inspiration in their writing process. During the first half of the tutorial sessions, the seminar participants will discuss and debate a requisite reading followed by a writing tutorial and feedback session based on the texts. The seminar participants can choose to present the work developed during the seminar at the LUS Doctoral Crits organised at the end of the semester.
