open architecturebasel

We want to think of architectures whose spaces will not have a specific function, but an infrastructural character. It will also be possible to reuse

the existing.

The typology and the spaces will be formalized waiting for a program to be defined.

The topic of the atelier is a paradigmOpen architectures, without a program

A reflection on the possibility of a single architecture in a wider context

Not buildings responding to programmatic needs butinfrastructures for life

Lasting infrastructures, open to the widest possibility of use over time,the only real sustainable condition of any human product

Our research is based on an evident and direct gesture,responding to the constrains of the place, in a physical and cultural sense,

capable of solving fractures, triggering transformations, to redefine and amplify elements of the natural and built environment,

while offering new spaces for people

Which characters allow the permanence and the use of an architecture in the time ?

Which buildings underlie many possibilities of useremaining open to the different appropriatiowns that time brings with it?

We defined some site in the city of Basel, each student will choose one that he/she considers exemplary to apply a strategy.
