For the coming HS23 Semester, our Chair has prepared a Master's Thesis Topic for the entire D-ARCH at the ETHZ, under the title 'ENOUGH / GENUG: Designing Limits in Architecture for an Earth of Plenty'. The Topic will promote people-oriented reflections around contemporaneous planetary challenges, seeking to reframe urban design and architectural systems within discourses of environmental and human rights.
