Beschreibung
des Entwurfs-programmes 

The Renovation Show Opening Date: December 16, 2023, at ETH Zurich "The Renovation Show" is an upcoming exhibition curated by students of station.plus at D-ARCH ETH Zurich. It explores the transformative power of renovation and its profound impact on our built environment. The exhibition is part of the European Citizens’ Initiative HouseEurope!, which advocates for EU policies that support sustainable renovation over demolition and new construction. Since 2023, this initiative has worked to integrate social, economic, and ecological considerations from the architectural sphere into legislation and public discourse. In a culture that often favors the new over the old, this exhibition reconsiders the enduring value of existing structures. Renovation is not merely about improving efficiency or property value; it engages with the social, environmental, and economic fabric of our urban landscapes. It is essential for preserving the cultural and historical narratives that define our communities, preventing architectural heritage from being exploited for profit-driven gentrification, and protecting our environment from further degradation. This course offers students the opportunity to understand and navigate the process of conceptualizing and designing an entire exhibition, from initial ideas to final implementation. Beyond practical exhibition design, the course also delves into the theoretical considerations that shape the impact of architectural representation. It views the exhibition as a medium of knowledge transfer, treating it as a form of temporary architecture that communicates architectural insights in innovative ways, detached from rigid codes and the conventions of traditional building. Curating and programming "The Renovation Show" will be a collaborative effort by the students of station.plus. It will offer students the chance to deepen their curatorial and design skills while gaining a comprehensive understanding of the sustainable renovation movement. The exhibition will open on December 16, 2023, at ETH Zurich, coinciding with the semester finals, and parts of it will later travel to venues such as the Architecture Biennale (Venice), Pavillon de l'Arsenal (Paris), and others (lineup to be confirmed). Through this experience, students will craft lasting narratives, scenography, models, and networks, ultimately creating an exhibition that meets both architectural and curatorial standards.

Lernziele 

The course guides students through the different phases of exhibition making: * Research-based argumentation: students learn to define a field of research, collect relevant data and analyze it in order to develop sound and convincing lines of argumentation for the exhibition. This research is cross-disciplinary and integrates different areas of knowledge. * Curatorial framework: A key component of the course is to condense the knowledge gained into a clearly defined curatorial framework. Students learn how to select the essential elements and combine them into a coherent whole. The entire studio works together on the curatorial concept. * Exhibition formats: The course encourages exploring different formats to effectively communicate the ideas presented in the space. This involves choosing the right tools and media to best communicate knowledge to visitors. * Resource management: Students learn how to plan and implement exhibition projects within a given budget. * Filming: Students will be equipped with the technical proficiency necessary to produce short documentaries and fictional films, gaining an invaluable set of tools to tell their stories effectively. * Writing: Students will develop the ability to create clear, compelling, and contextually appropriate written content, ranging from wall texts to exhibition catalogs. They will explore various text formats, learning how to effectively communicate complex ideas to diverse audiences while supporting the overall narrative and thematic goals of the exhibition. * Exhibition design and model making: The design of the exhibition and some of the materials to be exhibited will be built by the students themselves. * Collaboration: Another focus is on collaboration with the HouseEurope! campaign team and the opportunity to design the exhibition so that it can travel. Students will learn how to collaborate with different actors and how to creatively use the specific possibilities of exhibition spaces. * Collective work: Finally, the course emphasizes the importance of collective work. Students will learn to organize their own work in the context of a group and to put their critical thinking into a collective project.
