At the end of 2018, the ETH Studio Basel Contemporary City Institute closed its doors, but the work created in the framework of this unique constellation continues to hold great relevance for architects and urban researchers. With this event, we are (re)launching ETH Studio Basel’s main publications as open access, and making them available to a broad public on a new website. Together with collaborators, assistants and students, we will reflect on our projects and experiences, discuss what we have learnt, ask what is still relevant today, and explore how we continue to develop and apply the concepts and methods of the ETH Studio Basel.

With Roger Diener, Jacques Herzog, Pierre de Meuron, Emanuel Christ, Mathias Gunz, Simon Hartmann, Manuel Herz, Vesna Jovanović, Jasmine Kastani, Bart Lootsma, Metaxia Markaki, Charlotte von Moos, Ligia Nobre, John Palmesino, Shadi Rahbaran, Ann-Sofi Rönnskog, Günther Vogt, and Ying Zhou and a welcome address by Silke Langenberg, Director of Research, Department of Architecture, ETH Zurich.

The event is moderated by Christian Schmid and Milica Topalović, and followed by an apéro.
