Students in studio Adam Caruso at ETH Zurich will spend their Autumn semester exploring the sensibility of the interim; looking to the long history in the built environment of improvising and adapting.
Over the course they will look at a small contingent of existing buildings, each with different occupants and legal situations. These approached through multiple processes to develop an image of the networks of inhabitants, building owners, the spatial/material arrangement, in conjunction with their social, legal and aesthetic limitations for a small contingent of existing buildings in the city.
Emilie Appercé, Tibor Bielicky, Adam Caruso, Claudio Schneider and Barbara Thüler will teach on the course.
