AbstractThese days architecture is affected by increasingly similar images. We want to turn to another reality - the place. The strengthening of the singularity of each place is the promise for an overall more differentiated living space.

In this semester we concentrate on the «ensembles» in the village of Malans in Graubünden. We seek to reinforce them through new houses and functional buildings.
ObjectiveArchitecture requires a fine perception of the existing and a brave vision for the future. The condition for both is a firm attitude coming out of a living collective.

The aim of the course is to reinforce the sensibility for such a broad attitude and at the same time to develop the skills for its application. To deal with the reality of construction and material is thereby an important concern.
