051-0160-00L	Urban Design II Nur für Architektur BSc, Studienreglement 2011.	1 KP	2V	H. Klumpner
Kurzbeschreibung	The ‘Urban Stories’ lecture series introduces a city during each lecture. The city’s urban development is described through contemporary phenomena and is critically presented as strategies and tactics. The urban phenomenon we explore in this course show urban conditions, models and operational modes.
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.
Skript	The learning material, available via https://moodle-app2.let.ethz.ch/ is comprised of: - Toolbox 'Reader' with introduction to the lecture course and tool summaries - Weekly exercise tasks - Infographics with basic information of each city - Quiz question for each tool - Additional reading material The compiled learning material can be downloaded from the student-server: afp://brillembourg-klumpner-server.ethz.ch

052-0726-19L	ACTION! On the Real City: Campus on Film: Sensory Ethnography of Educational Spaces	2 KP	2U	H. Klumpner
Kurzbeschreibung	The course develops new forms of urban literacy in learning from the complex, real-life city. Jumping into the world of creative geography, students will experiment in unconventional audiovisual mapmaking guided by qualitative research methods like sensory ethnography.
Lernziel	The course aims to use diverse qualitative research methods and practical recording tools to interrogate the notions of place-making, map-making, and socio-spatial navigation through a multi-disciplinary lens including urbanism, social research and media use. Through a combination of practical exercises in video and audio techniques in parallel with the study of seminal observation-driven texts like ‘Cross-Cultural Filmmaking’ (Barbash, Castaing-Taylor) and ‘Acoustic Territories’ (LaBelle), 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 emerging field of creative geography, inviting students to challenge conventional notions of what ‘maps’ are and how they may be read, through experimentation with new audiovisual perspectives on urban cartography. The students will select an area of study from numerous field sites presented during the course. Using widely available recording tools and editing software, students will turn their "thick" readings of space into short video or audio works of about 3-5 minutes. These outputs will collectively form an almanac of emerging forms of mapmaking and socio-spatial navigational tools.
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.
Voraussetzungen / Besonderes	For students from all disciplines. Lecturers: Klumpner and Klearjos Papanicolaou For more information contact papanicolau@arch.ethz.ch and visit our website: https://u-tt.arch.ethz.ch/teaching/ Language: English
052-1140-19L	Architectural Design V-IX: Open City Sarajevo / Urban Prototype Lab Please register (www.mystudies.ethz.ch) only after the internal enrolment for the design classes (see http://www.einschreibung.arch.ethz.ch/design.php). Project grading at semester end is based on the list of enrolments on 5th April 2019, 24:00 h (valuation date) only. Ultimate deadline to unsubscribe or enroll for the studio is 5th April 2019, 24:00 h.	14 KP	16U	H. Klumpner
Kurzbeschreibung	How can the existing infrastructure and the lack thereof, shortages and limited mobility, climate crisis and scarcity create an integrative urban vision that could regenerate, revitalize and reconcile the city? We will define an urban paradigm based on a pro-active approach to design prototypical projects on different scales in coalition with local stakeholders.
Lernziel	We teach students the chair’s method-design to identify and develop networks of stakeholder groups that are on the basis of an urban project, translate demands into ideas and geo-referenced maps, and develop out of these ideas urban prototypes on different scales within narrative that is visualized and communicated in analog and digital tools.
Inhalt	Sarajevo is an arena which like no other European city is synonymous for a century of conflict, destruction, de-construction, re-construction, and re-urbanization. Re-living and re-designing this city on shifting scales from urban to architectural is the aim of the studio. Projects will be developed on specific sites and urgently needed programs. The existing assemblage of different religions and ethnic populations requires translation in shared public indoor and outdoor spaces and a narrative of architecture and urban design in practice. We ask for an integration of the social, economic and cultural re-development of the city. Instead of reinterpreting the traditional longitudinal development axis of the valley of Sarajevo (along Ottoman, Austrian Hungarian and Socialist urban models), students will re-develop and give a new reading of the development to the cross-section of the valley. For this design task, the studio turns towards layers of interdependencies, juxtapositions of difference and division in a cross-section of the city. The design students are focusing on identifying an underlying logic that connects the valley’s fragmented neighborhoods, its topographical symmetries and asymmetries, and its natural and human-made divisions that simultaneously splinter and unify Sarajevo. This semester’s studio will allow students to travel to Sarajevo (Seminar week) with the aim of engaging with the action in the real city. They will develop solutions in collaboration with local partners with government, academia, and industry backgrounds to develop a multi-disciplinary approach that builds upon a common base. By tackling real-world urban challenges, this studio is looking to create qualities through urban and architectural projects that transcend the commercial plane. Informed by U-TT’s ongoing research in Colombia, or the post-apartheid South Africa, this studio focuses on Sarajevo to create synergies between the city, research, and integrative design solutions.
Skript	Students will undertake research by studying existing international case studies, formulating their design hypothesis, planning urban scenarios, modeling their designs through various formats, and communicating their intentions in a series of critiques and reviews. The goal is the development of an evidence-based architectural project on different scales 1:5000, 1:2000, 1:200. The project will be represented in models and drawings. 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 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 case studies. The class material can be downloaded from the student-server.

063-0816-19L	ACTION! On the Real City (Thesis Elective)	6 KP	11A	H. Klumpner
Kurzbeschreibung	In relation to the elective course "ACTION!" students will have the possibility to extend their research into the behaviours and components that make up the urban realm. A special focus on the processes and mechanisms of (in)formal urban forms and systems will characterise the research. Specific research goals tailored to individual interests will be discussed before proceeding.
Lernziel	The course will help frame an understanding of the forces shaping (in)formal settlements and the critical behaviours, requirements and practices of its inhabitants. It will also encourage the development of an analytical and critical position on the potential role of the architect to mediate a design process within broader socio-economic, political and ecologic systems.
064-0018-19L	NSL Doctoral Colloquium: Methods in Urban and Landscape Studies	3 KP	1K	H. Klumpner, M. Angélil, C. Girot, C. Schmid, G. Vogt
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 seeks to provide participants with a differentiated knowledge of methods in the field of the urbanism. Furthermore, it provides a platform to exchange contemporary urban research experiences across disciplinary boundaries, drawing from different geographies of knowledge production. Possible meta-themes include modes of data assessment in urban studies, ways of progressing from hypothesis to synthesis, and research by design as method.
Inhalt	Participants will be expected to submit single-page abstracts of their papers in advance and to make a presentation of app. 20 minutes at the colloquium. The discussion will be moderated by the organizing professors and invited guests.
