Catalogue data
| Abstract | In the Studio "Alpnach Riviera" students will be looking for an innovative topological approach within the existing constraints of the SarnerAa river space by the Paul Scherrer Institute. |
| Learning objective | Based on dynamic landscape modelling principles developed by the chair, the studio will use the facilities of the ETH Landscape Modelling and Visualizing Lab (LVML) to establish a procedural and iterative design approach. There will be workshops of landscape modelling (Rhinoceros3D), generative design methods (Grasshopper) and CNC prototyping to generate 3D landscape models. A series of lectures, a compulsory weekend site visit, as well as critiques and workbooks, will help students attain the landscape design objectives set by this studio. |
| Content | The designs adopt to design task over three designated time steps: 01) Development of a topographic strategy for the riverscape. 02) Proposal for a landscape master plan and urban design guidelines. 03) Implementation of the site-specific design strategy. The designs take on the design task through three specific phases: Phase I: Survey, Prototyping and 3d modeling. Phase II: Design Development and design hypothesis. Phase III: Project Synthesis and visualisation |
| Lecture notes | A course booklet will be provided at the introduction. For further information see: girot.arch.ethz.ch |
