The last forty years have been a great success for museums and for museum
architects. Never have so many of these institutions been constructed in so many
different places. Their popularity reflects the global expansion of tourism and
the pressure for cities and towns to develop their attractions. The
financialization of art has meant that as collectors and their collections have
immeasurably expanded, so too must the provision of museums.

Zurich has three significant examples of this phenomenon; Museum Rietberg
(Grazioli and Krischanitz 2007), the Löwenbräu Areal (Gigon Guyer 2014) and the
Kunsthaus (Chipperfield 2020) Each was expanded and restructured in response to
specific conditions, yet all are part of this general global tendency. Whilst
museum extensions are always sold as being about making more of the collection
accessible to a wider public (and thanks to the support of generous
benefactors), in the last decade the critique of these platitudes has
intensified. The continued elitism of most cultural institutions, both in terms
of their staff and their audiences, the racism and sexism inherent in their
collections and institutional structures, and the nefarious origins of their
collections, are now impossible to avoid and museums themselves have
acknowledged that things must change.

So, what can we do about a problem like museums? We could just blow them up and
start again, but that would not be very sustainable, and confronting historical
problems is always more productive than erasing them. This semester we will
redesign the museum, making projects that test the capacity of architecture to
address historic bias in the content of museums, and social exclusion in their
buildings. We will not embark on a search for the ideal museum but will rather
closely engage with the trio of Zurich museums; talking to the people who run
them, participating as visitors in their exhibitions and programmes. Guided by
past and present disruptors in the art world, for example, the Guerrilla Girls
(1985-), Group Material (1979-96), and ruangrupa (2000-) we will make concrete
proposals to ‘hack’ both the organisation as well as the architecture of the
museums. Our aim is to make projects where the museum and its collections more
closely reflect and engage with the societies that they are a part of - with the
community of Zurich in 2023.

PARIS, LE TROTTOIR ET LA PLAGE
SEMINAR WEEK: OCTOBER 23–27, 2023

1/3

The Opera Garnier being restored. The capital invests in cleaning up its major
monuments in preparation for the Olympics. January 2023

Saint-Denis. Since 2010, 6b is housed in a former Alstom office building,
between the Seine and the Saint-Denis canal.

Striking workers block the entry at the Pyramid of the Louvre museum, as France
faces its 44th consecutive day of strikes. January 2020



Expansive boulevards, formal gardens, infinite arcades, limestone facades and
zinc roofs – the 19th century historic core of Paris appears immutable and more
than a little hermetic. The grand cultural institutions embedded within the city
– the Louvre, Palais Garnier, La Comédie Française, Musée du quai Branly – have
an imperious presence consistent with their monumentality and an authority
bestowed by the centralised structures of power. Beside this republican weight,
the citizens of France are notoriously practiced revolutionaries, with a
readiness to protest and set things alight. These are not merely the actions of
the mob, but rather developed political mechanisms supported and theorised by
diverse networks of public intellectuals.

We will visit Paris to engage with its great institutions at a time of
institutional crisis brought on by the ever-increasing acknowledgement of how
the inequities of empire are still rotting at the core of contemporary life. By
interrogating the origins of collections and the stories they tell we will try
to discern what can replace a discredited western canon. We will have this
discussion with the members of those institutions and equally with cultural
activists working at the periphery, the places where the stone runs out but
where culture, learning and society can experiment with new forms. Our search
will span from the 1st arrondissement to Pantin, where Emily in Paris meets la
Haine.

The costs are 501–750 CHF including transportation within the city, one dinner,
entrances and reader.

WHEN CONTENT BECOMES FORM

1/2

A Clay Sermon, Theaster Gates, 2021

Museums have begun to acknowledge that they are not neutral and that their
internal structures and displays reproduce power. They also recognise that they
might possess too many objects and that their collections are often of
questionable origin. We cannot simply shut museums down, because public
institutions are the repositories of shared memories and ideas and are at the
core of any idea of a sustainable society. If museums are in crisis, how can
their relationships with the societies that they are a part of become more
productive and what role can architecture play in this process. This semester we
will speculate about new museums and the architecture that could support them. 

We will start by looking at small collections that comprise art, social
documentation, and other archival material. With the help of people who run and
use museums and with reference to contemporary discourses on institutional
critique, we will engage with this material to find the stories and deeper
relationships that exist between these artefacts and the societies from which
they emerge, complex networks that are spatial as well as social. The research
will be developed into ideas for the arrangement and the interpretation of
collections in the production of catalogues and exhibitions, work that
communicates the meanings and material qualities of these collections in vivid
ways to more diverse audiences. 

The main design phase will expand these ideas so that the collections become a
core around which other exhibitions, programmes, and ideas of the civic are
developed into new ideas for the architecture of museums. Sited within disused
industrial, retail and institutional spaces in Zurich it is intended that these
experiments could find their way back through the doors of the city’s existing
museums and archives.

UNSCHÖNE MUSEEN

Ilya Lipkin, Liberalism Militant, 2020

While its effectiveness as an instrument of social change can be questioned,
architecture plays a central role in making the spaces and symbols of power. If
institutions embody the values of the societies from which they emerge, it is
architects who imagined how these structures can project power and be
instruments of social control. Within the inventory of public institutions, from
tombs to parliaments, custom houses to prisons, the museum seems a benevolent
member of the family, caring for precious objects, giving wider and deeper
access to society’s treasures. The last four decades have seen a physical and
programmatic expansion of museums that has made them an important part of the
contemporary city’s image and economy, at the same time as engaging with ever
larger and more diverse audiences. Architects have been implicated in these
transformations, becoming increasingly active parts of these expanded global
cultural networks.

After this heyday, we are now witnessing a wide-reaching revision of the museum
as we know it. Beyond the efforts of institutional critique, the museum today is
no longer regarded as a site of beauty or spectacle, but rather as a problem
context calling for repair. Until recently, the world of art and architecture
enduringly published and advocated the promise of the museum of the future.
Today, the lens through which we view this institution is tainted and a review
of the museum as an institution is back on the table. The museum remains a place
of classification, and therefore of exclusion and of often obscure structural
dependencies between the institution and its stakeholders. The museum has
revealed itself as a site of violence, its architecture and operations
reinforcing societal inequality.

This year the overall theme of the diploma is expanding to explicitly encompass
social as well as physical sustainability, with its reference to the United
Nations’ SDG 11 for Sustainable Cities and Communities. Our studio will respond
to the ongoing revision of museums by closely investigating a group of Swiss
collection-based museums, as a way of better understanding the relationship
between specific social situations, their institutions, and cultural artefacts.
We will engage in detail with the human, material and spatial relationships that
characterise these museums and the constituencies that they encompass.

We will meet the people who run and use these museums and will have workshops
with historians and critics who are developing effective institutional critiques
of the contemporary museum. With this granular knowledge about the social as
well as the material conditions of these public buildings, the design phase of
the diploma will develop designs that transform the extent, organisation and the
displays of collections, framing them in new ways with architectures that enable
the content, the experience and the social relevance of the museum to be
rediscovered.

This semester we will continue our return to the tangible. Working on underused
industrial sites in Zurich we will re-introduce large scale programmes of
production, care and agriculture, alongside places for working and living. By
engaging in detail with existing situations and developing new architectures of
intensification and addition we will try to find convincing alternatives to the
expansion of the agglomeration.  

Architecture that responds to current challenges cannot only be a matter of
upcycling and the adaptive re-use of existing structures. These are important
themes, but for architecture to continue to be culturally relevant we need to
discover the beauty that lies within the environmental turn. One way of doing
this is to reframe the ways we think about cultural production and challenge the
idea of the work of art as an autonomous entity. By engaging directly with the
contingencies of material life, perhaps then, can we make a substantial and
culturally engaged architecture of today.

To reframe how we think about architecture we will study the ideas and work of
six artists. The work of Beverly Buchanan and Robert Smithson suggest productive
relationships between sculpture and an expanded idea of archaeology. Sturtevant
and Jeff Wall work in the territory between painting and history. Michael Asher
and Sherrie Levine articulate and challenge the relationship between production
and the institution. These practices all respond to different conditions but are
relevant and speak powerfully to us today. The ideas, as well as the formal and
material qualities of these artists’ work will inform our search for an
architecture and a beauty for the 21st century.  

Construction as an integrated discipline is included in this course

LABOUR, WEALTH AND ITS IMAGE
SEMINAR WEEK: MARCH 20–24, 2023

Andreas Gursky, Der Rhein II, 1999

Rapacious coalmines, sublime factories, wasted landscapes; art academies,
patrons’ homes, influential collections: the Rhein-Ruhr is a tightly woven
fabric of all of these. In the urban conurbation and its industrial hinterland,
the sources of 20th century wealth exist alongside environmental devastation
that can no longer be ignored. The whole of this history can be read in the work
of Hilla and Bernd Becher, and in the work of their students from the
Kunstakademie Düsseldorf. 

Based in Düsseldorf, we will retrace the steps of the Bechers. We will visit
sites of material extraction and industrial production, as well as places where
the consequences of these activities are being addressed. We will also visit
places where this wealth was spent: the houses of collectors, their collections,
and the museums built to accommodate them. 

This central site of the Wirtschaftswunder is a powerful place to observe the
mechanisms of capital, and culture’s role within capitalist society, and we will
try to understand what these conditions could mean for the 21st century. 

Eating well and having good conversations are an integral part of the week. 

The costs are 501–750 CHF including entrances, accommodation, one dinner and
reader.

LABOUR REFRAMED

1/2

Crystal Palace, London 1851

Download PDF  1 MB


A large number of historic structures in Switzerland are connected to industry,
a reflection of the early and significant industrialisation of the country.
The survival of these structures individually and in groups is related to the
continuing importance of industrial production in the Swiss economy.
Nonetheless, many factories, mills and storage buildings from the 20th century
are underused or stand empty. The most magnificent of these, with their promise
of universal and conceptually open structures are distant relations to the
Crystal Palace of 1851, an early and influential statement of smooth, capitalist
space. The colours, ornament and spatial arrangements for Joseph Paxton’s
endless structure were designed by Owen Jones, the author of the Grammar of
Ornament a work that in 1856 laid out a paradoxical relation between culturally
based ornament and global capitalism.

We will engage with a collection of these underused industrial structures in the
eastern part of Switzerland, to consider how they can once more be a
productive part of contemporary life at the same time as retaining their
presence as historic monuments that act as instruments of continuity within an
ever changing built environment.  

The Chairs of Caruso and Delbeke will together engage with these complex themes.
The research phase of the diploma will compile a new Grammar of Ornament where
students will have the opportunity to collect, research and represent new
constellations of form spanning from the ancient world to the present. This new
Grammar will be guided by a written essay that each student will use to position
their project within a larger argument. The preparation phase will also include
a close survey of the existing buildings including an analysis and mapping of
how people and processes were originally accommodated. The second phase will
apply these lessons to the design of major additions and intensifications of a
collection of existing industrial structures, adding a grammar of energy and
construction to that of history and ornament. Our goal is to discover the
beauty that is held within the age of upcycling.

AGORA FOR SEEBACH
DAVID RIEDO
FS  2022  RE FORM

1/21



An Agora for Seebach - A new, „cultural and symbolic center“ for the
neighborhood of Zurich Seebach. The architect of St. Mark‘s Church and later
city architect of Zurich, Albert Heinrich Steiner, saw the situation on the
Buhn-hill with the Buhnrain schoolhouse and St. Mark‘s Church as an optimal
example of the center of a neighborhood. Unfortunately, not much of this can be
seen today. the project is to change this! Although the buildings of St. Maark‘s
Church and the Buhnrain Schoolhouse are almost built together, they do not have
much in common. The project was to bring these two institutions together, one
has too much - the other too little space, especially in view of the
Mittagstisch 2025, where all schools in Zurich have to offer a day school
structure with Lunch table for all students and for which the Buhnrain school
building cannot offer any space.

Intervention points of the project - In order to connect the two institutions,
more space is needed between them and a more direct connection between the
school building and the community hall. The demolition of the no longer
contemporary caretaker‘s apartment of the church creates a square between the
buildings.

A new neighborhood square is created - The free square between the school and
the church is to become a meeting place for the residents of the rapidly growing
Seebach neighborhood. The population can meet there and linger in the various
squares or gardens, an agora for Seebach.

New access and conversion of the room- The parish hall will get a new vestibule,
oriented to the square. The caretaker‘s apartment of the school will be
converted into a neighborhood space, as well as the arcade of the school will be
extended and the volume broken through, connecting the two buildings more
directly. Public toilets will be installed in the opening of the school.

A new axis connects the Church garden- A new path runs between the two buildings
and connects the road leading up the hill, the „Höhenring“ with the upper
neighborhood. The path is made of spolia of stones from the city of Zurich and
stones from the quarry at the foot of the hill. This new axis at right angles to
the large schoolhouse square connects the new neighborhood square with the
church garden, which is currently little used and beautifully situated over
Zurich Seebach / Oerlikon. The Landscape by landscape architect Gustav Ammann
will be carefully extended. Outside, on a hilltop at the edge of the hill, a
Monopteros, a viewing pavilion above the „Theater of the Goats“ is being built.

A shelter with multiple functions - The address from the north is formed by a
paved square. This is followed by the new path with slight steps and a slight
slope. A shelter with fine wooden supports follows this path and lends itself to
various uses. Be it as a market stall for a neighborhood market or as a bicycle
parking. The square is available for larger events such as a market or a
neighborhood festival.

A garden pavilion as a focal point - The outdoor space design by Gustav Amman is
carefully completed and meanders through the Gap, thus connecting the currently
unused garden of the church with the new agora. The garden, in the most
beautiful location above Seebach with a view of Oerlikon, is supplemented with
an Odeon, a garden pavilion. This is available for smaller events. Together with
the garden or the community hall, it can also be part of a larger event, for
example, before a party in the hall, the aperitif can be drunk in the garden.
The wooden pavilion with supports made of tree trunks fits perfectly in the
context of the group of trees planted by Amman.

LIVE: WHAT IS NEXT?

ArchiveSeminar WeeksHS  2020  Making Plans for Living


SEMINAR WEEK 19–23 OCTOBER 2020

A few semesters ago the studio tentatively made moves towards modernism. The
evident failure of architecture to address the imbalance of contemporary life
provided the motivation to look again at the more ideological and programmatic
promises of modernism, particularly the second wave of the 60s and 70s, whose
discourses were broadened to encompass themes of gender, the legacies of empire
and the growing imbalances in our environment. The consumer driven economy and
its insatiable consumption of precious resources is not sustainable, and the
desires it claims to fill can never be satisfied. We need to shift our attention
to things that give us purpose and happiness. What should we be doing, and how
can we have fulfilling lives?

From our new home in Zürich Oerlikon we will meet and debate, both in person and
on Zoom, a wide range of figures who are challenging the status quo of
technique, economics and politics. We will both declare our existence to the
wider world and also call for participation from beyond the limits of academia.
The idea is that this intense week of research and outreach will supplement the
ongoing themes of the studio, forming the basis of an interactive screen based
journal and a special edition reader.

For the week we are collaborating with the Architecture Foundation, who is
presenting and streaming the discussions throughout the week and who makes them
accessible to rewatch on their YouTube channel.
