Speakers and Content

Pro. Dr. Gerhard SchmittVP Planning and Logistics, ETH ZurichSince 1998 Gerhard Schmitt is Vice President or Planning and Logisticso ETH Zurich, where he initiated and masterminded Science City andETH World. Since December 2005 he is Proessor o InormationArchitecture. Between 1992 and 1998, he was researching and teachingComputer Aided Architectural Design (CAAD). His teaching includedCAAD Programming, CAAD Practice, and post graduate seminars. Today,his research ocuses on the development o intelligent design supportsystems, the architectural design o the inormation territory, and the useo computer-based simulation techniques in the design o sustainablearchitecture. Ater completing his doctorate in 1983 at TU Munich, he

was Assistant and Associate Proessor o Architecture at Carnegie MellonUniversity as well as Guest Proessor at the GSD at Harvard, TU Delt, andTU Denmark in Lyngby.

The Campus is in Your Mind, not Under Your FeetThe opening speech will discuss three undamental criteria in the conceptiono an academic or corporate campus: (1) The creation o a shared vision,(2) the defnition o diverse programs, and (3) the implementation o anintegrated sustainability concept.A frst challenge in the design o a new campus is not to create newbuildings, but to create a shared vision. In the words o Antoine de Saint-Exupery I you want to build a ship, dont drum up people together tocollect wood and dont assign them tasks and work, but rather teach themto long or the endless immensity o the sea. In the case o Science Citywe thereore started with the vision o a sustainable European Campus,then defned a participatory but guided planning process and integratedthe stakeholders. The process allowed us to sharpen the original vision aswell as motivate those involved to contribute their own resources to theeort. Numerous workshops with dierent stakeholders helped to test and

improve the shared vision and obtain a better understanding o individualneeds. As a result, they produced a vast amount o excellent ideas, but alsorevealed the hopes and ears o individuals and certain groups. ScienceCity frst emerged as an idea during these design labs and uture labs,one that could gain broad support while inspiring the individual.A second challenge in the design o a new campus is the early planning odiverse programs to support campus lie. The goal is to create an eectivelong-term strategy that is supported by science, business, and society.In the past, the question was how to bring scholars together; today, thequestion is how to bring scholars together with industry partners andthe general public. While the core business o a university has priority incampus planning, lectures, workshops, executive courses, events, careerprograms and new models o discourse increasingly need to be taken


4/15

into consideration. In 2005, more than 60 programs and projects weresuggested that could bring lie to Science City. We defned clusters oactivities and consolidated the collected ideas into 30 projects. In 2006, wewill begin with the implementation o the frst 15 projects grouped in theareas o Research, Teaching, and Campus Lie. We are convinced that inorder to bring lie to the campus to come together, share ideas, and create

new knowledge we must plan appropriately rom the very beginning.A third challenge in the design o a new campus or the 21st century is anintegrated sustainability concept. Being part o the vision or a new campusrom the beginning, integrated sustainability has developed into a eatureo increasing societal, fnancial and scientifc importance: Society expectsthe modern technical university not only to defne but also to demonstratewhat sustainability could mean in practice; the fnancing o a new campusmust take into account alternative and sustainable methods; and the long-term scientifc benefts o research into integrated sustainability concepts,

reaching rom the city scale to the energy concept and the materials othe individual building, are vast. Thereore, in the project Science City,integrated sustainability is not one topic among others, but an overridingprinciple. The interest o international delegations in this particular eaturedemonstrates its validity even beyond campus design.These three strategies complement the urban design and architecturalstrategy expressed in the urban master plan. Together, the our strategiesallow or the creation o high standard campuses that will be able to serveseveral generations, engendering new types o research and educationwith the support o industry and society.

Pro. Andrea DeplazesDean Department o Architecture, ETH ZurichSince October 1997 Andrea Deplazes has taught architecture andconstruction at the ETH Zurich, becoming Full Proessor in 2002. He iscurrently Dean o the Department o Architecture and in charge o thefrst-year Construction Lecture Series and Design Studio.Andrea Deplazes studied architecture at the ETH Zurich, graduating in

1988 under Proessor Fabio Reinhard. Between 1989 and 1997 he wasassistant proessor at the Technical College in Chur. His architecturalfrm Bearth & Deplazes is engaged in a broad spectrum o architecturaldesign activities, including public and institutional projects, urbandesign, housing, and industrial buildings, with special ocus on woodconstruction.

His Exellency Dr. Edo HofandAmbassador o the Kingdom o the Netherlands

Dr. Edo Hoand, Dutch Ambassador in Switzerland and Liechtensteinhas worked in a number o dierent positions worldwide throughout hisdiplomatic career. He studied law at the University o Leiden, continuing


5/15

his education in international relations in the Netherlands, and then servedin various Dutch Embassies in Eastern Europe, the ormer DDR, and theMiddle East as well as or the IAEO and UNO. His political career includesseveral posts in local Dutch governments, including Mayor o the City oBerkel en Rodenrijs rom 1989 to 1997, as well as others in the upperechelons o the national government, most recently as general inspector

or the Ministry o Foreign Aairs.

Kerstin HoegerInstitute o Urban Design, ETH ZurichKerstin Hoeger is an architect, working in the domains o Architecture,Urban Design, ICT, and Branding. Currently, she is a lecturer at the ETHZurichs Institute o Urban Design where she directs research projects oncorporate urbanism and urban branding. Since 2002, she has been working

on her doctoral thesis on Brandhubs and their potential or responsive andsustainable urban design.Hoeger studied at TU Berlin, MIT and has a Masters Degree rom HarvardsGSD. In addition to her architectural work, she was also teaching assistantat the Chair o Architecture & CAAD o ETH Zurich and researcher atthe MIT Media Lab and Mitsubishi Electric Research Laboratories inCambridge, MA.

Introduction on Campus DesignThe ocus o the symposium is campus design in both the public and

private realm, rom the conversion and revitalization o monounctionaluniversity centres to the creation o new campuses as lively urban districts.The latest tendencies o campus design will be discussed through a serieso international examples presented by renowned practitioners andspeakers in the feld. The discussion o this contemporary urban designphenomenon will be centred on the current project or ETH Science City.The many Greenfeld campuses built in the 1960s and 70s, such asETH Hoenggerberg, are now outdated and in dire need o restructuring,a challenge aced in university campuses worldwide. In addition, many

new university districts are being established, especially in emergingAsian countries. In this discourse, the validity o traditionally introvertedcampus models separated rom the city is being questioned, as this ivorytower typology runs counter to the eorts o many o these institutions toreintegrate themselves, both ideologically and physically, into the urbanpublic realm.At the same time, corporations are increasingly seeking urban designstrategies that will encourage inventive and creative potential within theirmanagement and research centres and are looking to the academic campusas a model or development. One example, the Novartis Campus Basel, where

high-profle architects were invited to contribute to a careully orchestratedmaster plan, also shows how the campus typology can be strategically usedto project certain qualities or an image to the outside world.


6/15

This symposium will attempt to address important aspects o new campusdevelopments at various scales, rom spatial organisations promotinginternal knowledge transer and social interaction to the kinds o urbanstrategies that are needed to create sustainable centres o knowledge andlearning that can exibly respond to the changing demands o industryand society.

Pro. Kees ChristiaanseInstitute o Urban Design, ETH ZurichKees Christiaanse studied Architecture at the Delt University oTechnology, graduating in 1988. His graduation project, Kavel 25,realised as part o his urban plan or the housing estival in The Hague, wasawarded the Berlage Flag. Between 1980 and 1989, Christiaanse workedor the Ofce or Metropolitan Architecture in Rotterdam, becoming a

partner in 1983. In 1989, he started his own frm in Rotterdam, whichwas renamed KCAP Architects & Planners in 2002. In 1990 he oundedASTOC Architects & Planners in Cologne. Beore coming to ETH Zurichin 2003, he was Proessor o Architecture and Urban Design at the BerlinUniversity o Technology or six years. He regularly acts as a jury memberor international competitions and is the author o several publicationsabout architecture and urban design.

Urban Design or UniversitiesOriginally the university was elitist, inaccessible to the lower class, but

part o the unctional palette o the city centre. Today the university isdemocratic, accessible to all and, apart rom some ceremonial buildings,situated in suburbia in the orm o a type we call campus: a monounctionalcomponent o the contemporary agglomeration. This developmentstealthily took place rom the moment that the old ortifcations o the citywere demolished and larger institutions were brought outside.In the meantime, the campus rom the post-war period has come to a crisisdue to its monoculture o university unctions, its anti-pedestrian distances,its absence o interaction with the city, and the lack o quality o its public

space. Ever since, campuses have been intensifed with social and culturalamenities, student housing, hotel and convention acilities, business-parkspin-os and, last but not least, high-quality mobility concepts.Paradoxically, the isolation o campuses rom the city has not been reducedbut rather reinorced by these developments, because they develop intomore or less sel-supporting autarkic quarters with relations expandedvirtually on the global scale.In a sense, campuses today are developing parallel to the global trend ogated communities. Their undeniable qualities in terms o managementand security have also been discovered by the corporate world. Indeed,

the new campus type, the business-oriented university or the research-oriented business-park, is becoming more and more popular all aroundthe world. This campus is also very economical. Many universities and


7/15

corporations save money by concentrating their activities, creating double-use concepts or buildings, centralizing their technical inrastructure and,o course, selling land and old buildings in remote sites.However, a concept o remoteness in a clustered deconcentrationcombined with mixed uses also oers a chance to reconcile the campus withthe contemporary agglomeration: by oering its expensive inrastructure

and social, cultural and economical amenities to neighbouring areas wherethey are lacking the suburbian surroundings. In analogy to Edge-Citieslike Silicon Valley, originally a monoculture o one kind o activity [e.g. theIT industry around Stanord] that through its sheer critical mass developedurban qualities and a certain centrality, the campus could develop intoan urban catalyst or surrounding areas. In order to achieve this, preciseurban design strategies are needed. The criteria or such processes arediscussed on the basis o two case studies: the Science Park in Amsterdamand the Science City in Zurich.

Wilhelm NatrupErnst Basler and Partner AG, ZurichAter studying at TU Berlin, Wilhelm Natrup has worked as an urban andregional planer in various planning practices in Switzerland, Germany,and abroad and is currently partner o Ernst Basler and Partner AG incharge o regional and urban planning. He has wide-ranging expertisein the area o strategic urban and regional development with a ocus onintegral town and regional development.

He was expert or an urban development study or Bremens City Councilto create a new technology district. The study examined the place-specifcpresent and uture economic and scientifc conditions, including aninternational benchmarking o science and technology districts and anevaluation o appropriate locations or a technology district in the city.

Benchmark o Technology QuartersThis lecture presents the results o a survey conducted or the City oBremen by a Swiss and German planning and consultant team, which

included, among others, agps architecture and Ernst Basler + Partnerrom Zurich.Bremen endeavors to improve its competitiveness by improving its eortsto promote science and research. As a university city, Bremen coulddevelop into a successul German university and scientifc hub. Theuniversity itsel is currently being surrounded by one o the largest andeconomically successul technology parks in the country, already pushingagainst its development boundaries.The survey was to answer questions as to where a uture properly-structuredtechnology district could be located within the city, and which other

support mechanisms would be necessary and useul to support a mixtureo technology-oriented uses with other urban unctions, such as living,recreation, culture, science, and industry. In order to test its results, the


8/15

insights o other location competition research were taken into account.A benchmarking o national and international locations compared thecontent and spatial-built orm o the concepts.The lecture will ocus on the urban design aspects and the question ointegrating the various parts o a university campus in the urban abricwith the surrounding science parks in Helsinki-Espoo, Dortmund, Berlin-

Adlersho, Nancy-Barbois, Munich-Garching, Munich-Martinsried, andKarlsruhe. These locations were analyzed according to diering objectives,strategies, and spatial organizational patterns.Finally, the conclusions o the benchmarking will be presented, includingissues regarding the question o mixing science-research-production withresidential and other uses, the necessary proximity o universities andscience parks, and the development time spans and processes that wereidentifed.

works and articles beore joining West 8. In 1999, Bindels was namedco-principle o West 8. In 2000, he was awarded the Rotterdam-MaaskantPrize or Young Architects. In addition to teaching at the Academy oArchitecture in Rotterdam and the Academy o Architecture in Amsterdam,Mr. Bindels has lead multiple design winning teams or projects such asthe Island Brygge in Copenhagen and Central Park Amsterdam Noord,Amsterdam, the Netherlands. Other high profle projects include theVathorst masterplan in Amersoort, the Netherlands, and urban plans orthe sub-divisions o Ypenburg in Den Haag and Crooswijk in Rotterdam.

New Environments or EducationOn a frst view the design or a campus is the ideal commission or afrm specialized in landscape architecture and urban planning. From ourbackground as public designers we are extremely interested in the meaningo (green) open space; via concrete projects o west 8 and historicalreerences, I will illustrate a development towards new environments orlearning: the urban campus.The projects that will be presented are: Charlesville USA, Utrecht de Uitho,Zernike Groningen, Abudja Arican Institue o Science and Technology,

and Leerpark Dordrecht.

Working with knowledge is challenging and laborious, and innovationonly occurs when people possess knowledge and have access to knowledgeresources. These knowledge potentials are to be developed, and this iswhere architecture steps in. In order to develop the knowledge potentials oa company, it is necessary to increase the degree o collaborative reedom,just as it is necessary to increase the inormation and communication

density as well as maintain an opening to the outside.The design o knowledge space is undamentally dependent on thechanging o space- and time-dependent rameworks. Through thepotentials o the media and mobility, our world is more strongly structuredby networks that unction independently o real physical places. Nodesorm in these networks, which at certain places take on the permanence oplaces where time is spent. Architecture must react to these new localitiesand communication nodes with specifc design and spatial elements, withsigns and the inclusion o new technologies. In addition, architects have to

take into consideration the dierent technical requirements and connectthese highly technical work environments into communicative structuresencouraging interaction. Even more than beore, places are to be createdthat not only allow people to organize themselves but rather provoke thiskind o interaction. This requires turning away rom organizing space alongunctional principles to the principle o networking: Architecture acts asinitiator and impulse-giver or collaboration. In order to allow a number opeople to take part in a common development process, knowledge has to beintegrated and transormed through various processes. Oten the dierentstrategies o knowledge transer have to do with improvements to optimize

the communication among employees, how they come into conversationand listen to each other. Knowledge culture is communication culture.Fora or exchanging knowledge are important or maintainingexternal relations as well as upholding the quality o internal work andexchange processes. The architecture also needs to be able to adaptwith correspondingly exible spatial requirements. Erecting a spaceo knowledge means making inormation accessible. This is exactlywhat Volkswagen AG would like to realize with the MobileLieCampusAutoUni in Wolsburg. The MobileLieCampus stands or the recognition

that solutions no longer need to be looked or through the delimitationo the disciplines, but rather more through insights gained throughtransdisciplinary means. This requires the linking together o ormerlyconicting felds as well as industrial and academic ways o working.On campus, business leaders learn that a sustainable realization ostrategies has to accept multiaceted aspects, and they learn how to initiatetrendsetting ideas and new concepts.Inormal, sel-organizing networks within an organization are the primarydrivers behind new knowledge gain, and oten, accidental encountersencourage the discovery o new ideas. The architecture o the AutoUni

spatially articulates the idea o the dynamic knowledge-cluster througha double-olded 5-storey band. The resulting spatial typology representsthe built orm o the street and the marketplace in concentrated orm,


11/15

thereby setting the oundation or a communication campus that opensthe possibility or generating knowledge as the ourth dimension.Today, the eectiveness and quality o research and technology acilitiesis important or their owners, now more than ever. In times o advancedglobalization and international competition, efciency and businesssuccess is important, and the attractiveness o a company and an institution

is measured by the attractiveness o their acilities or investors as well asor scientists. As a result, research and technology acilities count as someo the most sustainable building programs o our times.

Remo SteinmetzSHARE Boston, Cambridge MASince May 2004, Remo Steinmetz is Program Manager or educationand academic aairs at the Swiss science consulate SHARE Boston in

Cambridge, Massachusetts. Remos eorts are ocused on ostering thelinks between universities and scientifc communities in New England andSwitzerland.Previously he served as director o postgraduate program in spatial planningat ETH Zurich, making it one o the most successul o the school. He alsoled two large e-learning projects, which ocused on the needs o part-timestudents.Steinmetz holds a Masters in Geography rom University o Zurich. Prior tohis employment in academia, he worked in a consulting and engineeringcompany, where he led projects in the feld o transportation and urban

planning.

Janne Corneil and Philip ParsonsSasaki Associates, Boston MASasaki Associates, a planning and design frm based in Boston,Massachusetts, has completed plans or over 300 colleges and universitiesaround the world. The frms planning practice is divided between urbandesign and campus planning, and these two are increasingly working

together to achieve a synthesis or the knowledge city. The frms work isdistinguished by integrating strategic planning and physical planning.Sasakis presenters will be Janne Corneil, Planning Principal, andPhilip Parsons, Director o Sasaki Strategies. Janne Corneils practice isdivided between university campuses, urban waterronts, and downtownrevitalization plans. She was educated at the University o Toronto andHarvard University. Philip Parsons ocuses on the integration o strategicand physical plans or higher education, and the development o innovativedecision support systems. He was educated at the University o Cambridge,and Harvard University. Their work, principally in the United States, has

also taken them to Canada, Europe, and the Middle East.

The Contribution o Campus Planning to the Knowledge SocietyThe Knowledge City is a term increasingly used to describe cities whereinnovation and knowledge creation drive the economy. In Europe, theKnowledge City is equally ocused on the promotion o cultural andcivic lie and the establishment o a creative class o citizens with accessto knowledge, culture and learning opportunities. The quality o lie and

cosmopolitan nature o these cities give them a competitive advantage.Cities like Barcelona, Hamburg and Montreal promote the developmento a knowledge-based economy and also embrace and nurture a robustcultural and civic lie as an essential component o their success.Research universities play an increasingly important role in the sustainedeconomic growth o cities and regions. Similarly, universities uel their ownintellectual vitality through engagement with a lively urban environment.Major centers o learning are increasingly characterized by multidisciplinarycollaboration and problem solving, and the increased emphasis on synergy

between pure and applied knowledge, and public/private partnerships.They must also fnd ways to create an environment that will continue toattract young students to the sciences and engineering.The presentation will ocus on two themes: 1) strategies to strengthenscience and engineering through on-campus cultural integration andcampus-city connections; 2) planning a learning environment on campusesthat osters collaborative and multi-disciplinary learning, dialog, and asupportive atmosphere or research. Discussion o these two themes willbe ollowed by a brie discussion o innovative methodologies in campusplanning and design.

A number o case studies will be highlighted to explore the themes outlinedabove and to oer current examples o campus design and planningincluding: the University o Pennsylvania, University o Caliornia Berkeley,University o Balamand, Lebanon, and the University o South Carolina.The Norwegian University o Science and Technology in Trondheim,Norway, will be used as a more detailed case study. At NTNU, SasakiAssociates is participating in an exciting initiative to create a new learningenvironment where research and teaching are integrated into the abrico the city and where the university population participates actively and

regularly in the economic, social, cultural and civic lie o the city. Theuture success o NTNU and the success o Trondheim as a KnowledgeCity are inseparable.

Pro. Dr. Vittorio Magnago LampugnaniInstitute o Urban Design, ETH ZurichBorn in Rome, Vittorio Lampugnani studied architecture in Rome andin Stuttgart, where he received his doctorate. Since 1980 he has hisown architectural practice in Berlin and later in Milan. Among his most

important projects are an ofce building in Block 109, Berlin; a housinggroup in Maria Lankowitz near Graz; the entrance square o the Audiactory in Ingolstadt; the urban design planning o the Novartis Campus


13/15

in St. Johann, Basel; underground station Mergellina in Naples; andreshaping the Donau banks in Regensburg.Between 1980 and 1984 Lampugnani was a consultant to the InternationalBuilding Exhibition Berlin (IBA), rom 1990 to 1994 Director o theGerman Architecture Museum, and 1991 to 1995 editor o Domus. Since1994 he is Proessor or the History o Urban Design at ETH Zurich.

Numerous scholarly architectural publications and exhibitions includeArchitecture and City Planning in the 20th century, Encyclopaedia o 20thcentury architecture, Museum Architecture in Frankurt 1980-1990, andMuseums or a New Millenium (with Angeli Sachs).

Novartis Campus Basel: An Experiment in UrbanismA new design was to be developed or the St. Johann Areal o Novartis totransorm it architecturally rom a primarily production-oriented acilityto a research and management center. It was about introducing a long-

term sustainable system that would coordinate uture built interventionsarchitecturally and economically into the structural and aestheticidiosyncracies o a chaotically ingrown industrial area, where parts werebuilt just when they were needed and where space was available. It wasalso about bringing a suitable development ramework to a radical changeo use that had not yet been reected architecturally. But most o all, itwas about revealing the roots as well as the ambitions o a pharmaceuticalcompany through the new complex. Among the latter was the desireto build a place where employees like to go and work together in new,creative, and communicative ways.

The plan or the 20 hectare area between Voltastrasse, Elssserstrasse andthe Rhein River introduced a simple, clear, orthogonal structure, whichtraces the original actory complex as well as the ancient celtic settlementthat once occupied large parts o the territory over 2,000 years ago. Thenew urban impulse is consciously separated rom the river walk along theRhein, keeping this public, but oriented towards the river in an eort tosustain the relation between city and water, even provoke it. To the west othe historical Fabrikstrasse, which is to be expanded into a representativealle or the central social backbone o the Campus o Knowledge with

restaurants, caes and shops along its entire length o over 600 meters, theexisting built abric will be more or less kept intact, including the high risebuildings that will be added to with other high rise buildings. In contrast,a continuous built area with a continuous eaves height o 22 meters isspecifed to the east. The most important public spaces are located directlyon the Fabrikstrasse. Essentially all through trafc is siphoned away romthe Campus to leave the streets ree or pedestrians and bicyclists.The various buildings by various builders that will emerge on thecampus will not only show the diversity o contemporary internationalarchitectural discourse (and the nature, mentality and cultures o their no

less cosmopolitan and diverse users) on the one hand; on the other hand,they will not stand each to its own but should talk to each other just as theapproximately 10,000 people who will work there.
