Summary:
From Camp to City examines the theme of the refugee camp in the context of urbanism and architecture. Using the examples of the refugee camps in the Algerian desert in which Sahrawis originally from the Western Sahara have been living for 35 years, the book looks at the “urban” aspects of these settlements. In contrast to the standard way of seeing refugee camps as scenes of human misery and despair, the examination concentrates on how people live and dwell in refugee camps, on how they work, move around, and enjoy themselves, and looks at the spaces and structures that are created in the process. With numerous images and texts, individual aspects of urban life are presented and analyzed in the different chapters. As an examination of a “borderline case” of urbanity, the publication does not ignore the problematic aspects of this theme, but on the contrary: its potential explosiveness is further underscored by the focus on a “vocabulary of the urban.” It allows an understanding of the camps as a political project. The publication is based on research studies of the ETH Studio Basel, Institute of Contemporary Urbanism at the ETH Zurich.

Summary:
It is only through committed confrontation in built and social contexts that locality-specific and therefore identity-creating buildings can be designed. The objective of this book - developed by internationally renowned architect Dietmar Eberle at the ETH Zurich is to document the complexity of the design process. With essays from various authors, this second edition explores the complexity of the individual components of design. In corresponding exercise sections a clearly defined and structured methodology for the design process is formulated - a methodology that can be used for teaching as well as in practice.

Summary:
Presented by ETH Studio Jan De Vylder, Carrousel Confessions Confusion is a series revealing both the authors’ personal interests and the studio’s own pursuits in the form of confessions. Landscape architect Christophe Girot is the featured personage in this volume. Girot writes about his experiences growing up in England and France, and how the juxtaposition of the regions’ landscapes already happened in his mind, long before he had ever heard or studied anything about it. These contradictory aesthetic and cultural values drove him to study landscape architecture someplace else entirely – Berkeley, California, in the 1980s – where he found his own values challenged anew.

Summary:
This edition is dedicated to the work of the Swiss firm Christ & Gantenbein, and in particular the material aspects of their architecture. Emanuel Christ and Christoph Gantenbein opened their office in Basel in 1998, immediately after completing their studies at ETH Zurich. A chronological overview of their fundamental works since is provided, from the pioneering expansion of the Swiss National Museum to recent proposals for art museums in Barcelona and Antwerp. Accompanied by a text by Reto Geiser, it offers reflections on the intellectual intensity and geometric perseverance with which the architects approach their interventions, regardless of scale, function, or material.
