| 052-0708-00L | Urban Design IV  | 2 KP | 2V | H. Klumpner, M. Fessel | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Kurzbeschreibung | Students 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. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Lernziel | How 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. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Inhalt | Urban 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. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| 052-0726-22L | ACTION! On the Real City: Filmmaking of the Future - Media Tech & Its Urbanisms  | 2 KP | 2U | H. Klumpner, C. E. Papanicolaou | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Kurzbeschreibung | The storytelling potential is limitless: students will produce short films in novel formats through experiments with new and emerging media technologies including Drones, 360 Cameras, Point Cloud, and more, developing new forms of urban literacy | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Lernziel | Through 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 new media technologies such as the use of Drone, 360 Camera, Point Cloud, and other media. Students will reflect on the storytelling potential of such emerging media, creating new forms of knowledge and communication. 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. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Inhalt | The 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. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Kurzbeschreibung | Let’s build a circular city, transiting towards a zero-waste community. The promise of unlimited growth perpetuates our culture of unsustainable material flows and the production of junk products. Could we value resources, act socio-ecological responsive, and design a Circuit-Workshop prototype into a system of productive public spaces, as commons for work and community? | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Lernziel | Students immersed in our “method-design”, will develop a system of individual prototypical design projects. We moderate and guide a trans-scalar understanding of architecture, urban design, and planning, developing collaboratively a baseline scenario. Research by mapping, identifying, reading context, existing and future challenges and opportunities, assist students taking on roles of decision-making stakeholders, to Co-creative translate their findings and resources into different scenarios. We synthesize the scenarios in design strategies and urbanistic concepts, translating them into an evidence-based, prototypical architectural project intervention. This prototype responds to dynamic real-world processes, over time and space. We frame urban design projects as a narrative, that is consequently visualized and communicated in analog and digital graphic and model representations. The concept project will be tested and upscaled through urbanistic design-policy recommendations within overlapping spatial and programmatic systems and material propositions into an architectural relevant pilot project. Based on our Chair's “Urban Stories” lecture series, students will use the reference framework of the urban toolbox and our catalog of evidence-based design examples of what works and what are the trade-offs in the complexities of a specific environment. Design solutions are responding to the site's environmental, social, and governance challenges and context. At the intersection of urban -and landscape design, and public arts, we envision trans-scalar dynamic developments and radical urban imaginaries for societal transformation. "(...) we believe that we have enough buildings, enough construction, enough infrastructure. And it is now time to consolidate it and find the qualities within the built. This is not against future production, it is more about a consideration of what we really want in cities." (AD Interviews: Hubert Klumpner / 2015 Bi-City Biennale of Urbanism\Architecture) We will discuss spatial processes following our practical, real-life experiences, consolidating along a sequence of transformative steps of short-term tactics for long-term strategies and value production. We will scrutinize the need to re-evaluate neighborhoods' transformations initiated by art, popular culture, local participation, densifying social interaction, and place-making with our concern to avoid displacing existing populations. Urban- and Landscape Design can create a measurable positive impact in cities by caring for social justice, health, and wellbeing in times of climate change. The development of a robust framework enables regeneration processes 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 urban corridors as new possibilities and lifelines to impact meaningful and multidimensional transformative design strategies. For every city, design is about different things; what remains are the values, choices, opportunities, and engaged societies and how we realize and implement a concrete project in a city neighborhood relevant to our care for earth. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Inhalt | The pace of technological change makes much of our model of urbanization socially, economically, and environmentally unsustainable. Paradoxically today, the amount of waste produced, energy consumed, surface sealed, and water consumed per capita is considered an indicator of our junk society's wealth. Linked to the dynamics of ongoing globalization, economic growth pressures, increasing living standards, and throw-away product cycles, societies perpetuate interwoven cultures of unsustainable consumption- disposable loops. Operating within this system, we are aware of this paradox, where an increasing GDP weighs more than the degradation of the environment, the depletion of natural resources, levels of education, rampant inequalities, and the wellbeing of societies at large. The consequences of resource extraction, waste production, and the longevity of our debris leave us with a feeling of powerlessness when the world's ecofootprint is one and a half times more than the earth can provide us with. Invited by the Mayor of Santiago de Chile and Barranquilla, we are engaged in two vibrant neighborhoods, working with people and decision-makers on the ground, dealing with the city's solid waste, housing, and social justice challenges, upscaling them to other neighborhoods elsewhere. If we are to save ourselves from the amount of waste generated by society, we have choices; to go from talking about the abstract goals of UN, SDGs to developing concrete design projects for implementation that reach environmental social, and governmental targets.Extensive circular material flows observed in global south cities are often linked to poverty but have proven effective in addressing value preservation, scoring on low carbon footprint, and adding value to the circular city model?Can new relationships and references between periphery and inner-city support existing initiatives, so communities can make use of their resources, human capital, and networks? We start by revising our understanding of what constitutes our very own definition of waste and abundance. From local to global production and disposal, we will question notions of durability, ownership, the use of space and buildings, regenerative and geopolitical systems. We will investigate local economies, supply- production chains, mediate the redistribution of resources, and discuss concepts of durability. The design challenge concentrates on qualitative and quantitative data of material cycles in a neighborhood and redesigning existing infrastructures of solid waste collection stations into a public covered and open space. Interlinking formal and informal economies and waste management systems, the design of prototypical urban infrastructures can make the collection for landfills and incineration a past practice. We will simulate the use, and test the results to their validity in other neighborhoods and income groups combining social and environmental programs into a new building typology of a post-waste design network. In solidarity with people on the ground, we will define challenges and opportunities, creating circular scenarios that respect, enhance and propose new material loops. Linking formal and informal systems connected to waste, the production and redistribution of materials, as second resources and the knowledge of circular systems in cities is the pretext for reviewing Cybernetic principles of Stanford Beer for president Salvador Allende and the need for visual representation. This Studio is the opportunity to be part of a design movement articulating frameworks for innovative neighborhoods. From waste to resource, the scalability and transferability of interlinked systems to other geographical zones can address the urgent need for long-term circularity towards zero-waste cities. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Skript | “Method-design”: Systematically engaging students in the Studio topic, to unlock their potential and skills towards developing prototypical design resolution on an urban and architectural scale. Identifying, understanding and developing local stakeholder networks, so as to translate challenges into opportunities and negotiate diverse interests into strategic ideas for development, geo-references, inter-linked systems, diagrams and maps. Develop design concepts for urban prototypes on different scales, framed by a narrative of a process that is consequentially visualized and communicated in analog as well as digital tools. Investigative Analysis/ Local Perspective: Registering the existing; prioritizing challenges and opportunities through qualitative and quantitative information; mapping on different design scales and periods of time; configuring stakeholder groups; connecting top-down and bottom-up initiatives; idea mapping and concept mapping; designing of citizen scenarios. “Project Design”: Synthesizing between different scenarios and definition of a thesis and program between beneficiaries and stakeholders; projecting process presentation as a narrative embedded in multiple steps; describing an urban and architectural typology and prototypes; defining an urban paradigm. “Domain Shift”: Shifting and translating different domains; testing and evaluating the design in feedback loops; including the project in the dynamic context of the neighborhood, testing the potentials for upscaling and policy relevance as part of the reference framework of the Chairs Urban Toolbox. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
