100 Ideas from Zurich

100 Ideas from Zurich: Exploring Urban Atmospheres

What contribution are architecture and urban design making to the development of Zurich today?

System design is explored in space and time looking at co-production, housing and environment, but also at the role of the arts, social- justice, migration, integration, security, and mobility. Our profession is increasingly important, as Zürich has become a world class city offering one of the best qualities of life, whilst there are areas, topics and blind spots we don’t have on our radar. How is design manifesting itself developing social and environmental responses, where can we see opportunities, challenges and possible solutions?

We have potential to be urban changemakers and shapeshifters inspired by cultural context, traditions and counteractions that are the basis for permanent change and atmosphere. The aim of 100 ideas from Zürich is to learn from the people behind, KOSMOS, Gallery Presenhuber, freitag, Fr. Gerolds Garden amongst others. Students discover, register and expand their personal references, create a design catalogue and describe an alternative imagery of city.
