Autumn 2009
The autumn semester 2009 is still under construction. The programm will be released as soon as possible.
Spring 2009
Urban planning in collaboration with TKK Helsinki and the City of Würzburg
This multi-locational collaboration is dealing with urban planning, design and building structure. The City of Würzburg provides the collaborating universities with information and access to the area of Zellerau, a complex planning situation with emphasis on existing residential and social structures.
The goals of the collaboration are the exchange of planning and design methods, experience in different scales of architecture, and the use of modern communication technologies.
The TKK Helsinki is responsible primarily for urban planning, whereas the students from the ETH Zürich look in detail at the different structures and develop them according to construction and feasibility.
Due to the different focus of the two universities a very procreative exchange of ideas took place.
Autumn 2008
Collaboration with Carleton University, Canada: Increasing and renovation of the Zollfreilager, Zürich
A collaboration of two teams, one from the ETHZ and the other fron Carleton University in Canada. the Teams switched working on the design every week. The teams were coequal, but had different fucuses on the design.
Druring this design the DCV (Deep Computing Visualization) was introduced by Carleton and tested in the remote collaboration. The DCV is a programm to share digital building models over the Internet.

Teamwork will take place in the form of remote collaborations, i.e. via videoconference and through the use of a whiteboard, on which drawings and images can be worked on and discussed directly. Additionally, the semester will test the use of an electronic table, on which several students can work together in so called remote seminars.
Learning Goals
Learning goals are the professional-practice related division of responsibility between head architect and consultants, learning new means of communication, and a more thorough comprehension of building structure and its integration into the design process.
