051-0113-00L	Architecture III Expiring study program according to BSc 2011 regulations.	1 credit	2V	D. Eberle
Abstract	The lectures discuss determining factors in architectural design based on the basic terms place, structure, shell, program and materiality.
Learning objective	The lectures aim at conveying an integral understanding of architecture: its development, its determining factors, and the influence of its societal context.
Content	The lectures discuss significant determining factors in architectural design based on five basic terms – place, structure, shell, program and materiality. Several architectural examples are being examined within their specific societal context with an emphasis on the interrelation of architecture, science, culture and art.
051-1501-17L	Architectural Design III: From the City to the House (D.Eberle) Please register (www.mystudies.ethz.ch) only after the internal enrolment for the design classes (see http://www.einschreibung.arch.ethz.ch/design.php). Students who do not wish to change the design class don't have to parcitipate in the internal enrolment. 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 credits	12U	D. Eberle
Abstract	The design course is built on various exercises. During Fall Term, the students are concerned with the conversion and densification of existing building structures at three different sites in Zurich.
Learning objective	Conveying a way of thinking that is also able to understand complex contexts and act on various levels is one of the focuses of the chair. This networked thinking relates to praxis and educates the students to be competent architects. Achieving this goal requires a method that teaches a clearly structured, precisely formulated approach and communicates the simultaneity of complex tasks and processes.
Content	The design course is built on four exercises. Based on the existing buildings, the themes Place, Structure and Shell are being examined - first separately and then combined in a final project. The extension and densification of existing building structures are being carried out at three different sites in Zurich; the new use is planed for work and living. The exercises are divided into a City Level and a House Level. At the City Level a group of students examines the three building sites according to each theme. At the House Level the students develop designs addressing the themes in groups of two.

052-0511-17L	Planning Strategies for Complex Buildings Using the Example of Health Facilities	2 credits	2V	T. Guthknecht, D. Eberle
Abstract	Independently written scientific paper concerning a subject of planning of complex buildings - such as health facility planning and design - with special focus upon the dynamic changes in this context and the related planning and building reactions to them.
Learning objective	The objective is that the students engage in a debate of a differentiated functional planning as a basis for complex buildings which are to be successful functionally, operationally and in design. On the basis of a given scope of themes the students carry out research aiming for possible improvements for example in health facility planning. The scope of subjects is announced at the beginning of each semester.
Content	Complex buildings such as health care buildings are subject to constant change. In a new hospital building 60% of the diagnostic and treatment areas are subject to building changes within the first 10 years of operation. Architecture has to develop concepts which accommodate this level of dynamics into the building structure in a better way. In the coming years this need for adaptability is going to be challenges even further by the even more reducing health care resources. The paper should discuss in this context a specific question in detail by analysing problems and developing and discussing potential planning solutions.
Lecture notes	Presentations of the lecturer and guests will be made available

Abstract	The course will focus on the constructive and structural challenges of the realization. Main topic is the quality of the architectural space in the area between physical necessity and the freedom of design. The competences of all elective courses and main courses have been merged into a single, extensive course.
Learning objective	As a didactic target a profound debate on supporting structure, on construction and on room creation is declared.
Content	In consequence of the historic fact that the builder's profession has been divided into the professions of an engineer and an architect, a bisection of fields came up which reflects in the various types of building tasks. Hence, nowadays engineers realize a number of structures without considering an architect's expertise. However, the functional expertise of the engineers should be merged with the design ideas of architects. That opens a field between freedom of design and functional/technical requirements. As such buildings characterize our environment exceedingly and represent a substantial part of it, a high sophisticated design is very important for our society. Therefore structural aspects are evaluated to their spatial and tectonic qualities. For this reason the course does not deal with classic architectural design tasks. The focus is on engineering structures.

Abstract	Independently written scientific paper concerning a subject in the area of health facility planning and design with special focus upon the dynamic changes in health care services and the according planning and building reactions to them.
Learning objective	The objective is that the students engage in a debate of a differentiated functional planning as a basis for health care buildings which are to be successful medically, operationally and in design. On the basis of a given scope of themes the students carry out research aiming for possible improvements in health facility planning. The scope of subjects is announced at the beginning of each semester.
Content	Health care buildings are subject to constant change. In a new hospital building 60% of the diagnostic and treatment areas are subject to building changes within the first 10 years of operation. Architecture has to develop concepts which accommodate this level of dynamics into the building structure in a better way. In the coming years this need for adaptability is going to be challenges even further by the even more reducing health care resources. The paper should discuss in this context a specific question in detail by analysing problems and developing and discussing potential planning solutions.
