Thema |
Achtung: die Landschaft. A project for the Swiss Mittelland |
| |
Beschreibung
des Entwurfs-programmes |
In 1955 Max Frisch, Lucius Burckhardt and Markus Kutter published Achtung: Die Schweiz, a warning about the increasing sprawl throughout the Swiss landscape and a plea for a new and more controlled level of urbanity in the form of high-density settlements. Fifty-eight years later, the level of alarm against the increasing levels of urban sprawl has not diminished and yet single-family houses and low-density settlements still unabatedly continue to cover the Swiss landscape. Openly alluding to the book of 1955, Achtung: die Landschaft will attempt to offer a different yet radical alternative to problems of land, landscape and resource consumption that contemporary forms of urbanization imply. Instead of new dense settlements built outside of the existing cities as proposed in the project of 1955, we propose to shift attention towards landschaft –land, landscape and the entire un-built territory as a deliberate choice to be operative within the constraints of a modern democracy and the need to safeguard freedom of the individual for choosing his/her own way of living.
The architectural design studio, the second of a series of four consecutive studios that will tackle different urban conditions of Switzerland (the Swiss Mittelland in the case of the upcoming spring semester), is part of a larger project that aims at critically contributing to the debate on the future of the country. Already central to the current political and public debate (i.e. the Zweitwohnungsinitiative and the recent Raumplanungsgesetz), the understanding of the Swiss landscape will become the lens through which to formulate an alternative vision for the future of the city. The analysis, conceptualization and representation of the un-built territories of the Swiss Mittelland will be the pre-requisite for interventions that lie at the design intersection between architecture, urban design and landscape architecture and that cross disparate architectural scales of interventions. Students will be asked to advance radical yet specific proposals for selected sections of the Swiss Mittelland, ones that put at the center the articulation of the limit between sprawling agglomeration and un-built territory. |

Lernziele |
The main objective of the studio is to develop the capacity of the student to connect the architectural project and its form to a solid argumentative thesis. In order to do that, the studio attempts at offering a wider framework, in relation to which students are asked to develop their proposals. Such framework made of historical, political and socio/economic issues represents the constant background against which proposals are debated and evaluated. |
