KurzbeschreibungThe studio combines a performative, sensorial exploration of this multifaceted public space with a more scientific approach and analytical monitoring techniques, and digital 3D mapping tools. We will work closely together with specialists from a range of artistic and academic disciplines, including (physical) theater, cognitive sciences, ecology, visual media and (scan) technology.
Lernziel- Collaborating with a multitude of actors from different backgrounds.
- Working across scales between local urgencies and institutional developments.
- Creating specific spatial qualities in public space.
- Identifying physical and intangible borders and boundaries that define space.
- Developing your ability to improvise and adjust to a dynamic environment.
- Communicating complex ideas through a performative approach to architecture.
- Documenting a non-linear creative process through a mix of media. -Understanding and exploring your senses to design and facilitate dialogues.

Grading criteria: 1 Clarity and Independence of Position 2 Relevance regarding the case 3 Depth of engagement 4 Representation 5 Design in Dialogue 6 Mutual Collaboration 7 Personal Development
InhaltStudio Basel – Foyer Civic focuses on Theaterplatz in Basel and the question: how can design(ers) help to develop it into a truly civic space in the middle of the city? In the zoning plan it is officially designated as an “allmende”, from Middle High German “algemeinde” (“Gemeindeflur”) or ‘commons’ in English. However, contrary to this official status Theaterplatz is not commonly used. Apart from those who are visiting the theater after which it is named, or one of the neighboring cultural institutions, the square is mostly used as a shortcut for crossing the city center of Basel.

Constructed in the 1970’s and referred to as Theaterplatz, the cascading complex of smaller plazas, passages, stairways, and corridors in front of, but also under and around Theater Basel, is officially nameless and lacks the architectural quality and popular appeal that its name might imply. Strategically situated between Basel’s main train station and the historic inner city, it is one stop along the most frequented public transport/ tram route through the city. Theaterplatz itself however remains a blind spot on the mental map of many people.

In recent years the initiators of Verein Theaterplatz-Quartier, an association of twelve cultural institutions that are centered around the square, have taken up the challenge to reimagine and reorganize the use and communication of the square. As a collective vehicle for the activation and promotion of Theaterplatz, the verein is continuously developing ideas and actions that aim to improve the spatial quality and public appeal of the square. The design studio will respond to the plans and wishes of members of the verein, while simultaneously taking into account the needs of other, less visible, and numerous users of the square: from skateboarders who were banned because of noise disturbance or protestors who often start their demonstrations on the square, to the homeless people who use the sculpture in front of the theater as a public toilet.

The studio is organized in three phases. During the first four weeks, you will quickly develop 1:1 prototypes and mock-ups. In the following four weeks you will collectively create a short documentary film that reveals the qualities and use of the square, including the people’s interactions with your prototypes and mock-ups. In the final phase, you will work on proposals for more permanent interventions. Each phase results in a public, scripted presentation in Basel. And with each phase you will gain greater independence to create and present your ideas.

The studio combines a performative, sensorial exploration of this multifaceted public space with a more scientific approach and analytical monitoring techniques, and digital 3D mapping tools. We will work closely together with specialists from a range of artistic and academic disciplines, including (physical) theater, cognitive sciences, ecology, visual media and (scan) technology. Besides, we will share regular exchanges with the diploma students working on the same site, and we will work closely with local actors. Together we will form a learning community that will collectively rediscover Theaterplatz and reinvent it as a patchwork of micro spaces. (Possible additional costs for going to Basel, ca. 3x)

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.
