Sehr geehrte Leserinnen und Leser
Das Jahr 2020 schafft Partizipationen. Und zwar dermassen viele, dass wir mit diesem Thema gleich diesen und den nächsten NSL NewSLetter füllen. Menschen beantworten die Fragen von Architekten und Planerinnen, das neue Jahrzehnt bringt neue Herangehensweisen. Wir hoffen, unsere Artikel inspirieren Sie zum mitmachen!
Under the headers of ‘collaboration’, ‘participatory design’ and ‘co-production’ participation is nowadays at the centre of the debate on urban design. Architects and urban designers are developing new concepts, tools and roles to comply with these new participatory modi operandi. However, it seems that it is sometimes forgotten that the issue of participation has a longstanding history. At the Chair of the History and Theory of Urban Design (D-ARCH, gta) we explore this tradition of experiments with participatory processes in the practice of urban design.
Wie nehmen wir unseren Lebensraum wahr? Wie erleben wir die Atmosphäre eines Ortes, wo fühlen wir uns sicher, wo fühlen wir uns gut? Diese Fragen werden umso wichtiger, je mehr Menschen in städtischen Gebieten leben. Ziel von Streetwise ist es, das Wissen und die Betroffenheit der Bevölkerung für Entscheidungen von Politik, Verwaltung und Zivilgesellschaft systematisch nutzbar zu machen.
What are key skillsets of the next generation’s planners, designers, architects or engineers? The instrumental and social capacities to creatively cope with complexity, within ever changing environments, in a cooperative way surely are amongst them. Systemic Design Labs are ETH Innovedum financed real-world experimental courses that foster such systems, thinking and creative doing skills, embedded in transdisciplinary research.
The transdisciplinary research project «Virtual Environments as a Decision-making Tool for Public Lighting in Bogotá» focuses on lighting technology and its performance in Bogotá’s densifying urban environments. New lighting approaches are co-created together with informal settlement dwellers and tested with Colombian policy-makers through a Virtual Environment.
Access to and the safeguarding of suitable and affordable housing is difficult for disadvantaged groups in Swiss cities as such groups often include people with few professional qualifications, various kinds of handicaps, and few financial resources. Among them are migrants and refugees, elderly people, and the «working poor», who receive no social benefits.
Spatial design is often confronted with an immense diversity of transformation processes. As a designer it is often difficult to fully acknowledge this immanent complexity and find a position to intervene. How can we answer questions as ‘With whom do I collaborate? How does personal transformation play a role in organizing my collaborations? And can collective action innovate and restructure the way we think about our built environment?‘
To slow down the spread of the coronavirus, the population has been instructed to stay at home if possible. This measure consequently has a major impact on our daily mobility behaviour. But who is being affected, and how?
Das NFP 70-Projekt «ENERGYSCAPE» untersuchte gesellschaftliche Präferenzen für eine Landschaftsentwicklung durch Infrastrukturen erneuerbarer Energien. Die aus den Ergebnissen abgeleiteten Empfehlungen können helfen, die landschaftliche Beurteilung von Anlagen erneuerbarer Energien aus Sicht der Bevölkerung in Landschaftsentwicklungskonzepten besser zu berücksichtigen.

Addressing the former industrial area of Acetati in Verbania (IT), on the northern Italian shore of Lago Maggiore, the project sets out to explore the ambiguous nature of contemporary residual landscapes. With an attitude of carefully collecting and radically exposing materials, flows, historical layers and traces of production, the proposal reflects upon the idea of «reuse» as a territorial and ecological strategy. Landscape In-Between is the winning proposal for Europan 15. Metaxia Markaki (Architecture of Territory) & Simona Ferrari (Architectural Behaviorology).
Following the six-year r4d project «managing telecoupled landscapes», PLUS received an r4d Transformation Accelerating Grant to continue its work in northeastern Madagascar. Based on the developed land-use change scenarios, a collaborative visioning and planning will be conducted over a period of twelve months. For this project, PLUS collaborates with ESSA-Forêts, University of Antananarivo and WWF Madagascar. Enrico Celio
This dissertation project examines the emergence, narrative, and translation of traditional landscape meanings in contemporary landscape architecture projects. It uncovers a complex web of meanings, ideologies, and conflicts grounded upon different cultural and historical interpretations. On this basis, the dissertation argues for a mediating approach in landscape architecture that includes culturally related landscape understandings in the design for the creation of a spatial identity.

Gärten haben im Laufe der Geschichte eine schwer zu fassende Faszination hervorgerufen. Mystische Schönheit und ein poetisches Gefühl für ewige Sehnsucht sind der langen Tradition des Persischen Gartens zu eigen. Lost in Paradise bietet verschiedene Interpretationen des ummauerten Gartens und zielt darauf ab, zeitgenössische Ereignisse mit dem rätselhaften Begriff des Paradieses in Einklang zu bringen.
In public transport disruptions, a key relation between the services of operating company and passengers’ satisfaction is the disseminated information. This paper proposes rigorous mathematical descriptions to describe the effects of information availability to passengers, including the user equilibrium and non-equilibrium solutions.
Der Kosmos des Entwerfens ist eine Reise durch die unsichtbaren Gedanken- und Erkenntnisprozesse des entwerfenden Denkens. Anhand einfacher Beispiele wird Schritt für Schritt das Entwerfen erforscht.

Degradation of ecosystems and the related loss of ecosystem services have called for new policies to achieve no net loss (NNL) of or even net gain between detrimental environmental impacts and restoration or preservation measures. While biodiversity offsetting has a long tradition, soils have rarely been considered in the accounting.

Ein regelrechtes Kuriositätenkabinett hat der Landschaftsarchitekt Günther Vogt gesammelt, ein Puzzle der Welt, die er in seinem Buch Mutation und Morphose entfaltet. «Das Sammeln ist eine Möglichkeit, sich die Welt zu erklären», schreibt der Landschaftsarchitekt Günther Vogt darin. In diesem wuchtigen Buch gibt er Einblick in die kollektive Entwurfsarbeit seines Büros und zeigt, welche Arbeitsinstrumente sich im Werkzeugkasten befinden: das Sammeln von Informationen, das Stöbern in Geschichte, die Arbeit von Künstlern und das eigene Kuriositätenkabinett.» (Karin Salm) Mehr
