Abstract	From a circular perspective, we will be looking at hybrid steel buildings. With its rich history of local iron production, Delémont serves as a context for considering circular principles: We are looking for the architectural qualities and aesthetic potential in housing that emerge from considering material flows and ecological cycles.
Learning objective	MATERIAL AND CONSTRUCTION Students acquire knowledge about steel, its methods of use, types of joints and its history in the canton of Jura. They learn to develop the building as a structural-constructive system that adapts nearby industrial buildings or their parts to join them in a new system. FLOORPLAN AND CONTEXT The students learn to incorporate the above-mentioned strands in a coherent, experimental floor plan. The project should embrace change as a way of enabling future development and appropriation. Moreover, we focus on embedding the project within a local context by understanding material flows, ecological cycles and Delémonts urban environment. NARRATIVE AND PRESENTATION In the search for narratives, students learn to justify their projects multi-dimensionally within our current context. Narratives incorporate external factors (economy, ecology, culture, sociology) and areas of interest and help them to mould the project into a consistent whole and present it to other parties.
Content	This semester, we are dealing with time as a fundamental dimension of architecture. From the perspective of the temporary, circular, and permanent, we are measuring geographical spaces and their current constitutions. After last semester's "Jura Résistant" on questions of permanence and polyvalence in Biel, we will focus on circular principles in Delémont this Autumn. The political capital of the Jura has a rich industrial history that dates back to extensive iron ore mining since the Middle Ages. The last phase of the history of local iron production was marked by the Von Roll company, which operated a blast furnace in Choindez until 1982. The urban heritage with blast furnaces, industrial plants, and underground mines is manifested in the city of Delémont. Despite its rich industrial history, the youngest canton in Switzerland is one of the financially weakest. The Jura is a peripheral canton struggling with the departure of its younger population and an ageing society. This is astonishing, as the infrastructure has been expanded in recent years, and new precision industries have settled there. We will build on Delémont's iron history and design circular residential buildings made of steel. The material is provided by the region's empty steel structures, which we convert or use as a resource for new buildings. We are looking for simple, constructive solutions that enable ongoing change. The prerequisites for this are demountable connections, system separation and the use of durable materials. In the semester, we will understand the principle of circularity in depth. In addition to material and economic cycles, we will also look at landscape cycles, such as water and plant cycles and the return of the seasons. What architectural qualities and aesthetic potential does circularity have for living? Large-scale models and constructive drawings are created in collaboration with BUK. In workshops with the artist Taiyo Onorato, we develop steel compositions using collages. At the beginning of the semester, an excursion to Delémont is planned. The semester will be accompanied by inputs by Catherine De Wolf (Professor of Circular Engineering for Architecture).
Lecture notes	A topic booklet with schedule, required submissions, and grading criteria will be distributed in the studio at the beginning of the semester.
Literature	A comprehensive literature list will be distributed at the beginning of the semester.
