Unmasking Space is a student-led course in the Department of Architecture at ETH Zurich.

︎︎︎


It aims to reflect critically on the current knowledge production in architecture education and bring attention to learning forms, voices, and methods that are currently under-acknowledged in the institution. Through multidirectional knowledge exchange and immersive activities, it experiments with other forms of learning, offering a critical lens on current pedagogies.

Together we can unmask the system of knowledge legitimacy!


We first gathered in the Spring of 2022, and the original group was composed by Shriya Chaudhry, Michael Hoi Ming Du, Nina Hsu, Giacomo Rossi, Yaelle, and Qianer Zhu.

For the upcoming third edition of the elective course, the initiative is brought forward by Victoria Balmer, Malik Becker, Lisa Gärtner, Marie Langholz, Leon Schade, Sacha Toupance, and Eva Tschopp.

The initiative is supported by a broad network, which includes
