Concrete Architecture
Our two-year Guest Professorship at
the EPFL is integrated into the theme of
Orientation: Construction et béton. Within
that field, we offer the design course
Théorie et critique du project MA1 in the
studio, which is complemented by the
exercise module by Thierry Voellinger/
Véronique Amstutz Béton: Matière de
construction and by the theoretical
module by Roberto Gargiani Histoire du
béton: fabriquer de le béton (01), as well
as Antoine Picon’s Cours: de la structure
à l’ornement: une histoire culturelle de la
construction.
The term Concrete Architecture should
be grasped in more ways than one,
since it explicitly also addresses the
conceptual approach of the course: It
seeks innovative, distinct spatial concepts
in concrete, which are also feasible and
realizable “in concrete” with respect to the
load-bearing structure, construction and
materials. At the same time, we see the
design process itself as an analogy to the
concrete production process: Design ideas
are fed through the process of forming,
casting, condensing and hardening.
The building material of concrete
Concrete is a hybrid building material
that has different aggregate conditions
and does not have its own original
expressive form since it is cast in a mold.
Its constituents such as cement, water,
reinforcing steel and aggregates such as
gravel and sand merge together and are
no longer visible after the production
process. In a similar way, the distribution
of forces is hardly noticeable in this
hybrid, yet homogeneous material, in
which statically effective and filling areas
are not revealed within the overall form.
Reinforced concrete primarily gains its
form through the structure and properties
of the building shell which it assumes
in a negative form and turns into an
expression (02).
Concrete is an ancient building material.
Its precursor, quick lime, was even used
to build the pyramids. The Romans called
concrete opus caementitum (03) and used
it to build the Pantheon and aqueducts
in Rome. In more recent times, John
Semeaton 1755 carried out experiments
with concrete on the right ratios for
concrete aggregates. Joseph Monier
registered the patent for reinforced
concrete in 1867. Since then, reinforced
concrete has experienced enormous
success as a building material.
Concrete has diverse properties. It is
notably robust and durable. Special
treatment and processing can emulate
different materials – from light textiles
to heavy natural stone. By subsequently
finishing the surface, it can become coarse
and matt or fine and shiny, with highly
contrasting effects and perceptions in
daylight. Since the concrete and steel work
together within the material, reinforced
concrete has enormous load-bearing
potential, which is combined with a
wide range of undirected and threedimensional load-bearing structures, as
well as sculptural and geometric forms of
expression.
With respect to production and
application, one can distinguish between
two basic types of concrete: In-situ cast
concrete and prefabricated concrete that

is delivered to the building site. We have
studied both applications and gathered
experience in our own practical work
for our office. Both applications will be
themes and fields of research during the
susbequent semester work.
Themes
In addition to our study of reinforced
concrete, one main focus in all four
semesters lies in designing powerful
interior spaces and building presences
that are compatible with urban locations.
In-situ cast concrete is above all sensible
in shaping interior spaces, while
prefabricated concrete elements are
especially suitable for façade design and
the creation of exterior spaces.
Powerful Space
“Architecture comes from The Making of a
Room” (04) (Louis I. Kahn) (04) and “Our
sense of space (Raumgefühl) and spatial
imagination (Raumphantasie) press
toward spatial creation (Raumgestaltung);
they seek their satisfaction in art. We call
this art architecture; in plain words, it is
the creatress of space (Raumgestalterin).“
(05) (August Schmarsow) are the two
mottos of the autumn semesters. The
focus lies on powerful spaces in in-situ
concrete and differentiated façades with
heavy prefabrication. Working together
with the structural engineer, the aim is
to seek congruence between space and
structure.
In the two autumn semesters, the projects
will focus on powerful interior spaces that
produce an identity, which will interest
us in our own practice and during our
course as sectional figures (06) and will be
implemented in in-situ cast concrete.
Urban Constellation
„[…] les ensembles sont plus importants
que les chefs-d’oeuvre isolés“(07)
(Fernand Pouillon) and „And now the
4
Ensemble!!!“ (08) (Miroslav Šik) are the
two mottos of the spring semesters. The
focus lies on differentiated facades with
heavy prefabrication and powerful spaces
in in-situ concrete. Working together with
the construction engineer, the aim is to
seek congruence between structure and
expression.
In the two spring semesters, we will
develop designs that create good urban
spatial constellations with façades in
prefabricated concrete, interpreting the
city with a compatible appearance, as well
as being able to build it further.
Construction
Since the oil crisis in the 1970s and the
introduction of contemporary energy
standards, today’s façade constructions in
our latitudes have often been multilayered.
Apart from a few exceptions, the
structurally homogeneous wall is a thing
of the past and continuous layers must be
developed with a so-called layered sketch.
Such multiple layering of the exterior wall
gives Carl Bötticher’s theory of a “core and
artistic form” (“Kern- und Kunstform”)
(09) a new, unexpected contemporary
relevance. In such cases, the actual loadbearing structure often forms the inwardly
aligned core form, which can itself develop
an artistic form that is homogeneous with
the primary system.

Load-bearing
Throughout architectural history,
an innovative approach to gravity
has been a basic precondition for
important architecture. The load-bearing
structure has a great design potential in
developing powerful spaces. Different
load-bearing systems and spans can
be used to illuminate and explore the
ideal relationship (10) between the loadbearing structure and the spatial span,
as well as deriving their spatial effects
in a very direct way. Therefore today’s
5
standard thinking patterns of support
and slab systems should be extended
in favour of three-dimensional loadbearing structures that include ceilings.
As a hardly questionable core form, it
can however also create a space that is
independent of current trends, which can
sustainably maintain its effect in a robust,
timeless way. The desired congruence of
spatial design and load-bearing system
can however only be achieved through
close and early collaboration between the
architect and the structural engineer (11).

Triad
As a result of our practical experience
and teaching to date, we perceive
spatial design, space, the load-bearing
structure and the material of concrete
as a symphonic unity and as a harmonic
triad of space-structure-material.
Daylight should also be integrated into
this triad as a universal quality for spatial
development.
Innovative construction engineers – for
this course the engineering office Fürst
Laffranchi - will accompany us as partners
from the field of load-bearing structures.
The material of concrete plays a decisive
role both for spatial design and the loadbearing structure, since it can be used for
floors, walls and ceilings, as well as being
able to create a three-dimensional spatial
development and load-bearing structure in
the sense of a so-called espace texturé (12).
Teaching programme
The teaching programme in autumn
semester 2014 spans the themes of
spatial design, developing a load-bearing
structure and conscious handling of the
material of concrete and its wide range
of surface finishing. The term concrete
architecture is ambiguous since it denotes
the material of concrete, but also refers
6
to the concrete aspect of implementing
a concept in innovative spatial design, a
viable, innovative structure, a tangible
materialism and ultimately adequate
presentation.
At the end of the semester course the
student must be able to:
_ Develop an exciting spatial sequence
The aim is to design powerful spaces
that strengthen identity and encourage
communication, interaction and
encounter. Vertical sections and
sectional figures play a key role.
_ Recognise the potential of concrete as a building material.
Students should be able to understand
and apply production conditions,
manufacturing methods and surface
treatments. The interaction between
formwork and casting, as well as their
conditionality, should be recognised.
_ Know various load-bearing systems with varying spans and make them useful for the design.
The basic distribution of forces in loadbearing elements and the special forces
involved with concrete as a tensile
and compressive system should be
understood, to be able to apply that to
spatial design.
_ Know powerful spaces in architectural history and interpret them as references.
In that respect it is important to
recognise spatial and structural
potential in a way that is transhistoric
and free of stylistic classification.

Project
Autumn Term 2014
In July 1835, the first iron steamship on
the European continent, the Minerva,
went into service on Lake Zurich.
Several decades later, in 1890/91, the
Zürichsee-Schifffahrtsgesellschaft was
founded. It has been called the ZürichseeSchifffahrtsgesellschaft, or ZSG for short
since 1957.
To cope with the enormous volume of
passengers at the turn of the 20th century,
two sister vessels, the Stadt Zürich and
the Stadt Rapperswil, which were large
paddle steamers, were built in 1909 and
1914 respectively. They are among the
last steamboats built by the company
Escher Wyss in Zurich and are considered
industrial monuments today. The current
fleet consists of 17 ships built between
1909 and 2007: two paddle steamers,
twelve motor ships and three river boats.
This term, new headquarters for the
Zurich Shipping Company are to be
designed including exhibition rooms. The
existing facility contains the company
harbour with anchoring for 17 ships, a
shipyard, an office building and a catering
building. On the company grounds, an
interactive building is to be designed with
workshops, offices and exhibition rooms
to replace the old workshop building.
The company has a harbour on the
left bank of Lake Zurich in ZurichWollishofen between Landiwiese and the
Rote Fabrik. The site is easily accessible
from Seestrasse and Wollishofen station.
It is a relatively unattractive section of
the unobstructed lakeside promenade
between the “Red Factory” and “Zürihorn”
The entire site is subject to seasonal
fluctuations in utilisation, being mainly
used in winter. The fleet of ships are in
operation on the lake during the summer
months allowing the premises to be
made available to interested parties.
For example the shipyard is used by the
“Annual Theatre Spectacle” or for other
events.
The following subjects should be
addressed by the building design:
_The lake promenade is to become more
open and the ZSG areal closely integrated
within it.
_The lakefront is to be integrated into or
at least harmonise strongly with the new
building design.
_ The new building should enhance the
location and form a harmonious whole
with the existing buildings.
_ An attractive sequence of spaces is to be
developed within the new building.
_Consideration is to be taken of the
seasonal third-party utilisation of the
entire premises or certain sections
thereof.
_ The history and specific activities of the
Zürcher Schifffahrtsgesellschaft are to be
presented to the public.
_The magic of water, the lakeside and
the wide open view is to be captured
atmospherically.

Site
The urban fabric of Zurich, especially
the lake shore has been fundamentally
transformed during the past 150 years.
The 1830-map shows a small, urban
core along the river Limmat. A major
transformation was the opening of the
city towards the lake around 1860. Under
the administration of the engineer Bürkli
the lake shore became the new face and
the image of the business and trading
town. Until 1900, due to vast earthworks,
ground was reclaimed in order to built
parks, squares and promenades that
were designed from scratch. Later
on, the coastline was redefined for
the national exhibition ‘‘Landi 1939‘‘.
After the exhibition, several parks and
facilities, such as the Landiwiese or the
China Garden took place on the former
exhibition-site. 1985 the existing ZSG headquarter and shipyard was modified
and enlarged. Today, the Area around
Rote Fabrik and the ZSG - shipyard form
the endpoint of the public space along the
lake, within the city of Zurich.

Teaching Methods
Models and Sketches from Nikolai Ladovskii‘s Studio at
VKhUTEMAS-VKhUTEIN (1922-1930)
Thematic treatment
The term is divided into three
thematic treatment phases according
to Kenneth Frampton: Topology,
Typology, Tectonics. Each phase lasts
4 weeks and is mainly concluded with
a “wall critique”, although inferences
from previous phases are always
permitted and encouraged. The first
stage, topology, is developed in teams
of two, while the subsequent stages
are individual work. In between
these phases, there are alternating
weekly supervision sessions with the
assistants and an interim critique by
the professors and assistants. The
development of the load-bearing
structure will be closely supervised
by qualified construction engineers
with practical experience (Fürst
Lanffranchi). The design should show
structural logic and considerable
sensuous and poetic quality. Spatial
and structural models are cast
enabling students to experience at
first hand the properties of formwork
and casting.
Working with References
The cultural wealth of the history of
architecture and art can be used as
an inspiration and a driving force for
developing one’s own thoughts. By
using a limited selection of topics,
treating them conceptually and
applying them to one’s own project,
it is possible to achieve translation
and development work that is
characterised by the interpreter and
his understanding of the reference
project.
Inputs
An accompanying programme
with thematic input communicates
underlying insight and professional
know-how on in-situ concrete and
heavy prefabrication, as well as
providing an overview of possible
load-bearing structural concepts and
their use, explaining the relationship
between the load-bearing structure
and space etc..
Instruments
The following forms of presentation
have proved to be suitable for our
project:
_1:100/1:200 project plans, in
which the spatial figure design is
recognisable as a public interior
space. The ground plan and crosssections should also make loadbearing and structural elements
clearly visible. Non-load-bearing and
partition elements are presented as
line drawings.
_A structural section representing
the spatial concept is presented as a
1:20 layered sketch (distinguishing
between load-bearing, insulating
and protective functions), with an
architecturally developed interior
view.
_Models present the quality of the
interior figure in the form of a spatial
structure or a cast spatial figure.

Study Excursion
POWERFUL SPACES - POWER STATIONS
This years field trip takes us to powerful ‚infrastructural‘ architecture in Bern
and its surroundings. The hydroelectric power station Hagneck (2010-15) as
well as the recently completed sports hall Weissenstein (2008-14) are almost
didactic examples for congruence between space and structure. This is the
results of the fruitful collaboration between the architect Christian Penzel and
the structural engineer Martin Valier. In their project KVA Forsthaus (200812) Graber Pulver (architects) and Carlo Galmarini (engineer) create a power
station as a public building and part of the urban landscape in a transformed
industrial area. Next to it, in an old factory building giuliani.hönger built
(2005-10) two auditoriums and created a very specific learning environment for
the University of Bern. As architects for this university they stand in row with
the great Otto Rudolf Salvisberg and his partner Otto Brechbühl, how built the
Institutsneubauten Baltzerstrasse (1928-31) one of the first fairfaced concrete
buildings in this city.
