Beschreibung

Reshaping a Dynamic River Landscape
The Gürbe River forms a valley between the Bernese Alps and Midlands, characterized by the distinctive lower alpine topography. Natural hazards in the Gürbe Valley have drastically increased in the last century. Long-lasting precipitation, in combination with rapid melting of snow, triggers persistent landslides. In 1990 heavy rainfall invoked a debris flow of over 200’000 m3 of material causing substantial damage. After this event, 60 barrage steps in the river were restored and reinforced to protect the settlements downstream. Unstable terrain in the upper watershed, however, have damaged the check dams again, revealing the limits of conventional protective measures. The studio will study how the Gürbe River can be reshaped more naturally using robotic terrain modeling methods. Students are asked to develop innovative topographic approaches over time that will ensure a long-term equilibrium of the river. As a result, the river could become an attractive recreational area with bathing pools serving the local fauna and inhabitants.
The HS 2019 Robotic Landscapes III studio is the third collaboration between the Chair of Christophe Girot and the Chair of Gramazio Kohler Research. Based on robotic principles and procedural design methods, the studio will investigate a range of conceivable landscape approaches to make the Gürbe River course more resilient. In response to the challenges of future catastrophes, this studio will ask students to develop innovative topographic approaches over time that will ensure a long-term equilibrium of the river in this dynamic landscape. Moreover, the river could become an attractive recreational area with bathing pools serving the local fauna and inhabitants. |

Lernziele |
Based on dynamic landscape modeling principles, the studio will use the facilities of the ETH Landscape Modeling and Visualizing Lab (LVML) and the ITA Arch-Tec-Lab to establish a procedural and iterative design approach. There will be workshops of robotic modeling in sand, 3D landscape modeling, and 3D prototyping to help conceive 3D landscape models (using Rhino and Grasshopper plugins). A series of lectures, a compulsory weekend site visit, as well as critiques and workbooks, will help students attain the high landscape design objectives set by this studio. |
