The studio and seminar will be conducted in partnership with the city and canton of Basel as well as the International Building Exhibition IBA Basel 2020. Under the guiding theme “growing together” and “together growing” the IBA Basel seeks innovative answers and visionary projects regarding the common development of the trinational region Basel. As a contribution to the IBA Basel, the studio will explore how the Rhine and its waterfronts can serve as a connective space and symbolic heart for this cross-border area.In many respects, the future development of the Rhine harbors is of special importance for the trinational agglomeration of Basel. They play an indispensable role in the supply of mass goods to an entire country. From an urban perspective, the Rhine River serves as a backbone for the whole region. In this way, the harbors in the border triangle between Switzerland, Germany, and France hold a central position. The Rhine also forms a large open and natural space, not only for places abutting the water, but also for bordering districts. As with all central locations, many demands are made upon this shared space, and these demands may at fi rst glance appear to confl ict with one another. Considering that the further development of the port industry will only make sense in conjunction with strategies and plans that cross national boundaries, it is necessary to develop complementary concepts for both the urban and port developments of the bordering harbors and cities.As specifi c studio site and IBA performance space, we have chosen the Rhine Island and Harbor in Basel North, which is directly located along the border triangle. Currently, the area is marked by port infrastructure, containers, silos, warehouses, tanks, railway and sorting lines, as well as functional and offi ce buildings that date from the past century. Adjacent to this port zone lie the two residential districts of Kleinhüningen and Klybeck, which are isolated, suffer from pollution and noise from the port activities, and are urgently in need of modernization. Current plans propose to update harbor logistics and to relocate parts of the port away from the waterside and towards the railway. With the implementation of these plans, new areas along the Rhine will become free for urban development.The studio will develop ideas for a mixed-use urban waterfront that connects city and port functions across national borders. Based on the results of our current studio, we will further elaborate urban design and architectural proposals for the phased restructuring of the Rhine Island, as well as for its connections with the harbor and surrounding districts in Basel (CH), Weil am Rhein (D), and Huningue (F). Major themes of the studio will be the transformation, activation and urban development of the area through a mixture of informal and formal uses, low budget/ high culture and high budget / low culture. The existing qualities on the site and along the Rhine can be strengthened in a number of ways: former oil tanks and silos can be converted into leisure parks and cultural centers, harbor piers into urban islands, and empty warehouses into temporary spaces for urban pioneers.In the future, the Rhine must be reconceived as a connecting element of the trinational metropolis, and its waterfronts must be developed in cooperation with neighbors. The goal is to create high-quality places for living, working and recreation along the water that consider the many characters and identities that are already present.

The studio and integrated project course are structured into six interrelated streams.We will produce a comprehensive inventory and mapping of our site and its context. Constant interpretation of our analyses will inform the design process.The design process will begin with a visioning phase, in which you will develop ideas and themes for your studio project. These ideas will then be further developed into design concepts, strategies, and proposals throughout the semester: fi rst, on an urban design scale, focusing on the transformation and development of a new waterfront for the Rhine island; and second, on an architectural scale with detailed proposals for indvidual building fi elds and buildings. The proposals on both scales will be refi ned in iterative exploration, design, and modeling loops. We will build and heavily use models as design tools to develop adequate urban structures, spatial confi gurations, and building typologies for our project.A lecture series will give you a broader perspective on contemporary urbanism and architecture. It will include introductions to the studio and seminar topics, input from local actors and stakeholders, as well as presentations and readings on related urban design and architectural issues. The research work will mainly concentrate on waterfront developments, including case studies and cross-case comparisons of European harbor cities such as Amsterdam (Eastern Docklands, Borneo Sporenburg), Copenhagen (Island Brygge, Nordhaven), Dublin (Docklands), Duisburg (Inner Harbor), Düsseldorf (Medienhafen), Frankfurt (Westhafen), Hamburg (Hafen City), Köln (Rheinauhafen), London (Docklands, Canary Wharf), Malmö (BoO1), Nantes (Island), Rotterdam (Kop van Zuid, Müllerpier, Waalhaven), Oslo (Bjørvika). These critical studies will serve as basis and reference examples for the studio projects. Throughout the semester, you will write about your design and research project, helping you to guide and document the progress of your work. All work will be published in a book and featured at an exhibition at the IBA Basel.

LEARNING OBJECTIVESThe learning goal is to gain advanced skills and experience in urban design and architecture, concept development, visionary thinking, and presentation techniques, which will enable students to tackle complex urban challenges and to synthesize their knowledge into a design project. The studio and seminar seek to provide a comprehensive package linking design, research theory and practice.Basel is a world-famous capital for art and architecture and you will learn a lot about contemporary architecture and urban design from the local master architects such as Peter Zumthor, Herzog & de Meuron, Diener & Diener, and Morger & Degelo, and also from us.

ib b l t

Europa ist gekennzeichnet durch ein historisch gewachsenes Netz aus Städten und Ortschaften. Diese urbanen Ballungsräume sind von großer Bedeutung. In ihnen lebt der überwiegende Teil der Bevölkerung, dort wird ein grosser Teil der Wert-schöpfung generiert, aber dort werden auch die meisten Ressourcen verbraucht. Schon heute sind die nach wie vor lokal geprägten Siedlungsland-schaften in einen überregionalen, wenn nicht gar globalen Kontext eingebettet. Wir wohnen hier, arbeiten dort, haben Meetings und Kunden in der gesamten Region und weit darüber hinaus in an-deren Städten und Ländern. Die Entwicklung der räumlichen Verdichtung zu grossen und leistungs-fähigen Agglomerationsräumen, die wiederum untereinander vernetzt sind, wird sich fortsetzen und für die Zukunft Europas von entscheidender Bedeutung sein.

L’Europe se caractérise par un réseau de villes et d’agglomérations qui s’est développé au fil de l’histoire. Ces conurbations revêtent une grande importance. C’est là que vit la grande majorité de la population et qu’est générée une grande partie de la richesse, mais c’est également là que sont consommées la plupart des ressources. De nos jours, les zones urbanisées, qui continuent certes de pré-senter de forts caractères locaux, viennent s’inscrire dans un contexte supra-régional, voire mondial. Nous habitons à un endroit, travaillons dans un autre, participons à des réunions et avons des clients dans toute la région, et au delà, dans d’autres villes ou d’autres pays. La densification territoriale donnant naissance à de grandes ag-glomérations performantes, reliées les unes aux autres, continuera de se développer et deviendra un facteur clé pour l’avenir de l’Europe.

Stärke dieses Raums gesehen werden muss und das deutlich macht, dass für seine künftige Ent-wicklung, für sein Miteinander, die Agglomeration als Ganzes in den Blick zu nehmen ist. Zentral für die Diskussion um die Entwick-lung dieses besonderen Raums ist deshalb der Begriff der Grenze. Der Grossraum Basel ist einer-seits geprägt durch die politischen und räumlichen Grenzen, die Stadt-, Bezirks- und Landesgrenzen. Andererseits ist er geprägt durch die gesellschaft-lichen und sprachlichen Grenzen. Was ist das Ver-bindende, was das Trennende? Wie lassen sich Grenzen zugunsten des Ganzen aufheben, ohne die eigene Identität zu gefährden? Wie kann der fragmentierte Raum über die Grenzen hinweg gemeinsam geplant und genutzt werden?

elle montre à quel point il est important de consi-dérer l’agglomération dans son intégralité lorsqu’il s’agit de son avenir et du «vivre-ensemble». La notion de frontière est par conséquent l’élément central de toute discussion portant sur l’avenir de cet espace si particulier. L’agglomération de Bâle se caractérise par ses frontières politiques et territoriales, entre les villes, les districts et les pays, mais aussi par des frontières sociales et lin-guistiques. Quels sont les éléments qui nous unis-sent, quels sont ceux qui nous séparent ? Comment lever ces barrières pour faire valoir l’intérêt com-mun sans mettre en péril sa propre identité ? Com-ment aménager et utiliser, ensemble, cet espace fragmenté, en surmontant les frontières ?

226 Gemeinden, eine Agglomeration

Beispielhaft für die Zukunft der europäischen Städte steht der Schauplatz der Internationalen Bauausstellung IBA Basel 2020: die trinationale Agglomeration Basel. Eingebettet in die grossen Landschaftsräume Vogesen, Schwarzwald und Jura, entsteht beidseitig des Rheins ein dichter Wirtschafts- und Lebensraum, dessen 226 Städte und Gemeinden sich auf drei Länder, fünf Kantone, ein Département und einen Landkreis verteilen. Die kulturelle, soziale und wirtschaftliche Vielfalt, die diesem Raum allein durch seine geografische Lage gegeben ist, wird durch den Prozess der Glo-balisierung noch grösser. Dank den hochwertigen Arbeitsplätzen, der ausgezeichneten Verkehrsan-bindung, dem attraktiven Bildungs- und Freizeit-angebot und der abwechslungsreichen Landschaft zieht die Agglomeration Basel heute Menschen aus allen Teilen der Welt an. Und es ist gerade dieses vielfältige Nebeneinander, das als eine zentrale

226 communes, une agglomération

L’agglomération trinationale de Bâle, le lieu choisi pour réaliser l’Exposition Internationale d’Archi-tecture IBA Basel 2020, est symbolique pour l’ave-nir des villes européennes. Cette région, enserrée par les grands massifs des Vosges, du Jura et de la Forêt-Noire, a vu se développer, de part et d’autre du Rhin, un bassin de vie et d’activités économiques très dense, avec 226 villes et communes réparties sur trois länder, cinq cantons, un département et un landkreis. La diversité culturelle, sociale et éco-nomique que ce territoire doit à sa situation géo-graphique a été accentuée par le processus de mondialisation. Grâce aux nombreux emplois qua-lifiés, à l’excellente infrastructure de transports, à l’attrait de son offre de formations et de loisirs et à la richesse de ses paysages, l’agglomération de Bâle attire des personnes du monde entier. C’est justement cette cohabitation bigarrée qui doit être considérée comme un atout pour notre territoire ;
