A small museum for a collection of post-impressionist paintingsThe museum design draws inspiration from traditional villa typologies and the industrial past of the site. The large shopfront-type windows position the art next to the street and establish a connection to the near-by Lwenbru art centre. The museum is designed to allow a gradual immersion into the art. The street-side galleries have a strong connec-tion to the outside world, the smaller garden-side galleries have framed views of the quiet park behind the building. The experience culminates in the central hall, which is only focused on the art.

Heritage #2: Paper factory BiberistAssistant Professors of Architecture and Construction Emanuel Christ & Christoph GantenbeinCollaboration with Eva Luginbhl

A headquarter and apartments above the shed roofsThe enormous spacial dimensions of the two warehouses serve as a starting point of the project. The division in a central hall and two accompanying spacial layers existing in the westward building is ex-panded to the eastward part. The two building parts offer different floor heights. One wing of the western building is converted into office spac-es. The lower eastern shed is topped up with two residential slabs. The warehouse keeps its original dimensions and the ground floor can still be used for industrial and logistic business. This mixed program of in-dustry, offices and housing creates an urban density in the former ware-houses.

Resource Switzerland - Architecture 1:1Assistant Professor of Architecture and Building Construction Dirk HebelCollaboration with Simon Birchler

A temporary studio building constructed in cardboardIn the course of this semester students worked together with experts and craftsmen to discover the hidden potentials of materials in Switzerland. Our partner was an artist who works mainly with paper and cardboard folding techniques. The design uses these techniques combined with tensioned textile membranes to create a structure that is weatherproof. Once the structure is assembled it can be deployed quickly on any flat surface. Just as quickly it can be dismantled and transported elsewhere.The pavillon is used by the artist to showcase his work and to be able to have workshops with visitors.

Porch House vs. Courtyard HouseChair of Architecture and Construction Andrea Deplazes

A slab of stacked family homesThis semester started with a debate about housing archetypes. An in-vestigation of the crucial qualities of living in a detached single family house followed. The design of the apartments in the housing slab im-plements the identified qualities in a dense urban structure. The flats are accessed through exterior stairways and balconies. They also feature a two-storey layout and a three-storey high garden space on a terrace.
