Kurzbeschreibung	The studio is evolving around the Pallati I Brigadave in Tirana. We invite you to join us to develop a rich variety of speculative ideas and concrete interventions at different scales. We aim at bringing people with very different or even conflicting views into dialogue in order to help create the conditions for co-creation and –habitation in and around the Palace of Brigades.
Lernziel	The NEWROPE Chair of Architecture and Urban Transformation» of Prof. Freek Persyn at ETH Zurich is organizing a studio evolving around the Pallati i Brigadave - or Palace of Brigades - in Tirana, the capital city of Albania. Moving beyond binaries and blurring the boundaries between ‘us’ and ‘them’, we invite you to join our interdisciplinary team to develop a rich variety of speculative ideas and concrete interventions at different scales. Collectively, we aim at bringing people with very different or even conflicting views and interests into dialogue in order to help create the conditions for co-creation and –habitation in and around the Palace of Brigades. Working in small groups from Zürich, you will explore the palace and its various contexts (historical, morphological, ecological, economical...) remotely through a variety of tools and methods, from analogue and archival research and interviews to digital scanning and remote sensing technologies. Our intention is to deconfine the palace, and rethink its ownership, use and accessibility. Through the exchange and dialogue with various "muses", i.e., inspiring stakeholders and experts from Tirana and other places, you will learn about the challenges, power dynamics and potentials of local urban transformation processes. Listening to this variety of different voices and their specific positions, will give you the opportunity to position, act and react. You will have a chance to define your own focus and ways of working and will be free to express your project in a variety of formats, from models and drawings to installations and performative actions. A series of smaller and bigger workshops and so-called Design in Dialogue sessions will help you to sharpen your ideas and strengthen your collaboration. You will get input from others, and will shift between roles and positions, before presenting the final output during a collective presentation and ‘Vernissage’ in Zürich and online. As muses we understand people of different backgrounds stating a strong position regarding urban transformations. We see them as inspiring people who are also open to new ideas. Each student group will have a chance to work with one of the muses.. This “pairing” can take various forms, from supporting to agreeing, questioning or even opposing. The form and intensity of the collaboration will be decided upon by the students and the muse.
Inhalt	Dear Student, I am writing you with a request. It has to do with my situation. I know you too have been forced to not see anyone for a while, but my solitude started long before the arrival of the virus and still continues. When I was younger, powerful people wanted to be in my company. I hosted kings and generals, judges and other high ranking officials. Now it’s mostly quiet. Only every now and then I receive guests, who are primarily interested in themselves, not in me. Time hasn’t been kind to me. The faded colors, the cracks, my dull expression… I’m nothing more than a vague shadow of my younger self. Next year I’m turning eighty. Looking back on my long life I have come to realize that I have always been subordinated by others. From the royals who put me here, to the fences who keep people away from me, there is always someone or something preventing me from opening up to the world. Stuck in solitary confinement, I spend my days scanning my surroundings for a sign of life. I see the cypresses waving in the wind. Clouds are drifting by, bringing rain and snow from the nearby sea and mountains. In recent years it has been increasingly dry. The sunlight scorches the grass, the soil becomes sandy, the fountain stopped running. I feel trapped, unable to change my own conditions. Increasingly I wonder who has the imagination and power to unleash my potential and see the value of a more progressive preservation of my heritage? One that respects my integrity while allowing me to develop. Who or what can create the conditions for me to flourish and become a meeting place for people from near and far? How can my luscious garden be rejuvenated and connected to the larger natural environment? So please help to unlock my golden cage! By listening to the people that take care of me everyday, discover the hidden stories and let me finally become part of the city that has gradually grown around me. Even if you were allowed to travel to Tirana you would not be able to visit me, due to my fragility and state of seclusion. But you can get to know me from a distance by joining the NEWROPE Design Studio. They are inviting you to collectively imagine alternative futures for me and beyond myself – in dialogue with experts and leaders and by exploring digital and analogue means. I look forward to hearing from you at your earliest convenience. Sincerely yours, Pallati i Brigadave

Kurzbeschreibung	Advanced PhD candidates of urban studies, urban and landscape design and urban sociology report about their experiences and insights in the concrete application of methods utilized for their research and scientific publications. Discussion of ongoing individual work, methodological questions, critical perspectives on urban and landscape design and city's relation to society.
Lernziel	The seminar's objective is to introduce PhD students to the multitude of research methodologies, tools and techniques within the fields of urban studies, urban design, territorial planning and landscape architecture. Based on the conveyed knowledge, the seminar ultimately aims at enabling PhD candidates to critically assess existing methods and tools, and to refine and develop an academically sound research framework for their own studies.
Inhalt	The seminar is organized along three modules that are arranged according to the PhD classes' particular needs: A: Methodology Module >>> Introduction of a research methodology by an expert / short contributions by PhD students + exercise and discussion / moderated by doctoral program coordinator (Lecturer/Dozent). This will include quantitative and qualitative methods such as ethnographic research, case study research, grounded theory, survey design, mapping, methods in statistical and data analysis, etc. (3-4 per semester) B: Literature Module >>> Reading sessions organized and conducted by doctoral program coordinator (Lecturer/Dozent) / invited experts from the Department. These sessions will support the methodology modules with theoretical and historical texts with a specifically tailored reading syllabus. (4-5 per semester). C: Techniques Module >>> Introduction into research techniques and tools / organized by doctoral program coordinator (Lecturer/Dozent) / conducted by respective experts. These modules will make students familiar with technical aspects such as academic writing, or the the use of GIS software, the ETH library or the gta archive, etc.(2-3 per semester)
Voraussetzungen / Besonderes	The seminar is jointly organized by the coordinator of the Doctoral Program in Landscape and Urban Studies, and the I-LUS faculty. Although located at the D-ARCH, the seminar is open to all doctoral students at ETH who are involved or interested in research at the urban and territorial scale. This seminar is complementing the gta doctoral colloquiums on Thursday afternoons.
