Ard-el-Liwa Homes: Designs by Young Architects

Admin Angelil — Sat, 25 Nov 2017 06:42:02 +0000

After investigating the architecture of informal settlements, the ETH Zurich Master of Advanced Studies Program in Urban Design at the Chair of Marc Angélil and directed by Charlotte Malterre-Barthes in collaboration with local partner CLUSTER, proposes new designs for affordable housing units in the neighborhood of Ard-el-Liwa. Selected projects show how different housing layouts and rearranging existing building components can lead to new urban forms that allow public spaces to emerge. By altering the typology of informal housing via a simple recombination of existing architectural and structural elements, the projects aim to enhance the living quality of single units and establish collective urban formations that ultimately improve entire districts.

35 Visions for the City of Prague

The design studio of the chair of Marc Angélil at the ETH Zürich dealt for a semester with specific sites in the city of Prague with three common denominators: centrality, an at least partial public sector ownership, and spatial as well as programmatic indetermination (terrain vague). The exhibition on one hand gives an insight into the visions and approaches developed in the studio and on the other hand visualizes the process and method of their work. The studio became during the semester at times a workshop, an exhibition space, a stage or a laboratory.
