051-0159-00L	Urban Design I Auslaufender Studiengang nach Reglement BSc 2011.	1 KP	2V	H. Klumpner
Kurzbeschreibung	Each lecture introduces a contemporary city. Three tools per city describe urban development and are critically presented as strategies and tactics, extracted from cities where they have become exemplary practice. They show urban conditions, models and operational modes. They provide understanding of how urban design is shaping the city, and how they can be incorporated in future design projects.
Lernziel	How can we read cities and recognise current trends and urban phenomena? The lectures series will produce a catalogue of operational urban tools as a series of critical case studies, and as basis for future practice. Urban Stories introduces a repertoire of urban design instruments to the students. This will empower them to read cities and apply these tools in the urban environment. The course will approach the topic employing analytical cases on different scales, geographies, in diverse socio-political and economical environments. With our collection of tools compiled in a 'toolbox', we aim to tell the fundamental story of contemporary urban development. This specific analysis offers insight and knowledge that helps students to make informed design decisions. The tools are grouped in thematic clusters, compared and interpreted. This approach sensibilities the students to understand how to operate in different local but also international contexts.
Inhalt	Urban form cannot be reduced to the physical space. Cities are the result of 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 an urban evolution. The facts stored in urban environments include contributions from its entire lifecycle. That is true for the physical environment, but also for non-physical aspects, the imaginary city that exists along with its potentials and problems and with the conflicts that have evolved over time. Knowledge and understanding along with a critical observation of the actions and policies are necessary to understand the diversity and instability present in the contemporary city and to understand how urban form evolved to its current state. How did cities develop into the cities we live in now? Which urban plans, instruments, visions, political decisions, economic reasonings, cultural inputs and social organisation have been used to operate in urban settlements in specific moments of change? We have chosen cities that are exemplary in illustrating 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. Urban knowledge will be translated into operational tools, extracted from cities where they have been tested and become exemplary samples, most relevant for providing the understanding of how urban landscape has taken shape. The tools are clustered in twelve thematic clusters and three tool scales for better comparability and cross-reflection. Tool case studies are compiled into a toolbox, which we use as templates to read the city and to critically reflect upon it. The presented contents are meant to serve as inspiration for positioning in future professional life as well as to provide instruments for future design decisions.

052-0725-17L	ACTION! On the Real City - Observe, Record, Edit: Oerlikon.	2 KP	2U	H. Klumpner
Kurzbeschreibung	The elective course "Action! On the Real City: Observe. Record. Edit." develops new forms of urban literacy in learning from the complex, real-life city. The course aims to use diverse qualitative research methods and practical recording tools to approach urban development in Oerlikon through a multi-disciplinary lens including urbanism, architecture, social research and media use.
Lernziel	Through a combination of practical exercises in video and audio techniques in parallel with the study of seminal observation-driven texts like 'The Social Life of Small Urban Places' (Whyte) and 'Learning from Las Vegas' (Ventouri and Brown), 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 case study of Oerlikon, an area that has undergone multiple transformations in scale and typology over time, resulting in a mosaic of mixed industry, high and low-density housing, mobility infrastructures, and cultural fabrics. Focusing on the way in which different scales and typologies interact with street-level social life, the students will be assigned a section of the area to study. Using widely available recording tools and editing software, students will turn their "thick" readings of infrastructure, program, and the surrounding urban fabric to develop short video or audio works of about 3-5 minutes. These outputs will collectively give a glimpse of Oerlikon's past, present and future identities. An optional Architecture and Urbanism Film Series (open to the public) running in parallel to this course will provide an opportunity for interested students to triangulate their learning with viewings of classic and experimental documentary work. This would also provide a context for screening their output in the final week of the course.
Inhalt	The course will compose of lectures, practical crash courses in media use, 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. There will also be the opportunity to attend a public Architecture and Urbanism Film Series running in parallel to the course.
Voraussetzungen / Besonderes	For students from all disciplines. Lecturers: Brillembourg & Klumpner and Clearhos Papanicolaou For more information contact papanicolau@arch.ethz.ch and visit our website: https://u-tt.arch.ethz.ch/teaching/fall2017elective/ Language: English
052-1139-17L	Architectural Design V-IX: Bogota - Urban Lab (A.Brillembourg/H.Klumpner) Please register (www.mystudies.ethz.ch) only after the internal enrolment for the design classes (see http://www.einschreibung.arch.ethz.ch/design.php). Teaching Languages: English and German Project grading at semester end is based on the list of enrolments on Friday 3rd November 2017, 24:00 h (valuation date) only. Ultimate deadline to unsubscribe or enroll for the studio is Friday 3rd November 2017, 24:00 h.	14 KP	16U	H. Klumpner
Kurzbeschreibung	The studio will explore new building typologies for reclaiming the public spaces and urban landscapes in the area of Plaza de Los Mártires along a newly planned metro line in the city of Bogotá. Replicable typologies, integrated infrastructure, and innovative urban scenarios will be generated that challenge conventional approaches to urban development, mobility, and open space.
Lernziel	Students will propose architectural projects that react to the existing built legacy while generating an overall urban vision that tackles issues related to infrastructure, preservation, environment, mobility, tourism, and resource. Special emphasis will be given to the integration of public spaces such as parks and the adjacent built neighborhoods.
Inhalt	Students will design an alternative architectural project by creating urban prototypes for the Colombian capital of Bogotá. Bogotá is an emerging city that faces many of the same challenges that come with the pressures of the global urbanization process in the 21st century. A post-conflict city in transition, one that is seeking a new identity in the midst of a peace process, is apt for a reformulation of its fragmented urban fabric in the central city. In this context, the design studio is seeking advanced opportunities to create an inclusive urban vision for the next metropolis. The public space in the city of Bogotá was lost decades ago to social and political turmoil, and it is now, that this space will have to be reconquered. The focus area will be in the historic center and its network of streets, squares, parks, and their adjacent built environment around Plaza de Los Mártires and the Avenida Caracas. Along this main artery of the city, the new “Metro de Bogotá” is planned, an elevated metro system that will drastically be changing the urban fabric and value of real-estate in the area. This urban revolution is creating the immense opportunity to develop an experimental city vocabulary in the three-dimensional cityscape thinking through various scales and hybrid programming. Supported by the Chair of Landscape Architecture of Prof. Christophe Girot, the studio will collaborate with representatives from the City of Bogotá’s Planning Department, associated local and international partners and experts from the Universidad Nacional in Bogotá.
Skript	Students will undertake research by studying existing international test cases, formulating their design hypothesis, planning urban scenarios, modeling their designs through various formats, and communicating their intentions in a series of critiques and reviews. Students will be encouraged to develop an individual and critical position on the potential role of the architect to guide a design process within broader social, political and economic systems. A series of lectures, screenings, readings, and discussions will accompany the design program. These will be given by selected experts from the fields of architecture, urbanism, landscape, building technologies and associated disciplines, as well as experts from the Urban-Think Tank Chair. Workshops and in-studio tutorials will be provided to train students in effective methods of representing complex ideas through visual media.
Literatur	Reading material will be provided throughout the semester, as well as references to similar case studies. The class material can be downloaded from the student-server. For more information on this studio, please refer to our Chair's website: http://www.u-tt.arch.ethz.ch/teaching/
