Timeframe
The module takes place over 6 weeks, from 04.05.21 to 11.06.21 from Tuesday to Friday, 9.30-17.00 - see timetable below for detailed hours and classrooms. Class sessions include lectures, discussions, mentoring sessions, in-class exercises, assignments and independent study blocks. Projects are conducted individually or in a team of three students at most.
Room
DIGITAL CLASSROOM with many exceptions:
5.-7.5.: IAD Projektraum and 4K15 are available for us for use during the workshop with Juliann Chollet
17.5.-11.6.: Modellbau Projekte ZT 2.E20-UU

Overview and Objectives
The module 'Spatial Interaction' challenges students to deepen their practical and conceptual knowledge of human interactions in their immediate surroundings. Due to the Covid-19 situation, the seminar can follow different paths. In the best case scenario, the student's output can contribute to an exhibition in Venice during the Biennale of Architecture. In a scenario with restrictive travelling options, the studio takes place in Zurich only. Starting from a location in Zurich where public life and „tamed nature“ overlap, students will develop spatio-technical frameworks for situated interactions. The student projects will connect people and environmental processes with the aim of investigating local impacts of urban (or everyday?) behaviour as well as long-distance effects of individual actions. They will learn how to interface the present mesocosm (collecting environmental data, identifying relationships) and how to anticipate/experiment with advanced techniques like remote sensing or machine vision. Designing in such situations requires the development of strategies for public outreach and communication as well as basic knowledge of intervening in complex systems. Students will work in groups and in a form of self-governed organization developed specifically for this course.

Mentoring
We will prepare doodles for mentoring with time slots of different length depending on the progress of the overall project. Reserve your slot and try to be on time. Questions can be asked anytime – also via email.
...
- First Concept (everybody)
- Second Stage (informal and optional – some approaches might not be presentable at this time. But if you want your project to be discussed by the whole group, present it here! Otherwise show up for a mandatory mentoring the same or the following day.)
- Final (this really counts!)
