Who is it built for/against?How can we see beyond the façade of innocence?This semester, Unmasking Space will engage in a critical exploration of architecture and architectural education beyond its façade of neutrality. Architecture is not merely a backdrop to human activity but an actor that shapes our environments and behaviours. It often operates as an instrument of control and a delineator of freedom - from the stark functionality of checkpoints and border controls to the subtle biases in everyday living spaces. We will look into case studies and reflect on how the built environment can privilege or hinder various groups based on their gender, race, and class.&nbsp; seminar 01 - 22.02.2024 Community Making an introduction … to talk about our values … to identify our motivations … to come together for the first time &gt;&gt;&nbsp; hooks, bell.

Chapter I&nbsp;Engaged Pedagogy Unmasking Space is a student-led course in the Department of Architecture in 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. seminar 02 -&nbsp;29.02.2024 Swiss Coloniality How is Switzerland embedded in the history of colonialism?How we could engage with it? Switzerland has the reputation of having played a neutral stance in the colonial world order. As part of a Fachsemester (research semester) at ETH Zürich, students have gained an insight into the topic of "Swiss Coloniality and its Industrial Architecture" and researched how Switzerland was and is involved in colonial and post-colonial networks. In this seminar, two students aim to present their individual research: one will present the case study of the Suchard chocolate factory with sites located in Switzerland and Dominican Republic. The other one will explore the industrial activities of the Basel Mission in South India. Mireku and Appiah described Swiss' involvement abroad as "crypto-colonialism", where the position as a neutral power allowed the enterprises to benefit during and after the colonies. Through the examination of the architecture and urban design resulting from our case studies, we would like to explore and engage with this colonial past that still impacts our time.

Yet architecture is far from being an impartial speculative collateral. Instead, it serves as a symbol and tool of power and actively shapes urban identity and development to reflect the interests of former colonizers and current capitalist-imperialist agendas. To genuinely promote decolonization, this session aims to thoroughly examine the legal and financial frameworks that hinder or enable public and private investment in countries economically exploited by colonial powers. In particular, it references the case of the French-imposed CFA-Franc in Dakar, Senegal. A virtual walk through the city will reveal how this currency and financial system facilitated foreign direct investment in real estate, notably by China. While examining architecture's role in enforcing economic dependencies through mechanisms like debt-for-equity swaps, we will move from the BCEAO headquarters to colonial remnants to broader issues of economic exploitation and cultural imposition.

Currently, she is investigating potential extensions to the Outer Space Treaty to design a more democratic and environmentally just access to the Low Earth Orbit. seminar 04 - 14.03.2024 About Accessibility in the (living) Space How to design more accessible (living) spaces through considering the built and unbuilt structures which are shaping everyday live? A workshop …on intersections between architecture, gender studies and economics …reflecting on opportunities and accessibility …sharing ideas, learning together and from each other …opening up space for critical thinking and acting Current housing development and policies are still based on the traditional nuclear family as the measure of things. Reproducing the same housing typologies over and over again further consolidates this normative image. This leaves little room for other self-determined ways of living. Our position is based on the intersectional-feminist consideration of (housing) space. This includes the consideration of (shared) housing beyond the nuclear family, a feminist critique of existing structures, the organization of shared care work, spaces for more bodily accessibility, and an awareness of power structures and accessibility in connection with housing. In our work, we have developed a proposal for an "intersectional residential building" and would like to share our thoughts with you in order to develop and discuss them further. Therefore, we are considering creating a ZINE, serving as a small manifesto or handbook for designing. The zine will contain thoughts, images and questions and is intended to provide inspiration. It will encourage us to rethink traditional spatial practices and priorities new ones that promote diversity and inclusion. readings: &gt;&gt; Yvonne P.

We are convinced that the world would benefit from collective approaches and participatory processes. Our projects often take architectural history as a starting point to reflect on the production of space in the past, present and future and the power structures involved. Therefore, it is important for us to open up spaces in which people with different life realities can actively work together. At the moment Marie Langholz and Leon Schade are part of the collective bürro. They did their Bachelor in architecture at Bauhaus-Universität Weimar together. Marie Langholz is based in Brussels and Leon Schade in Berlin. Beside the work in the collective, they are collecting experiences in different fields of architecture like teaching, internships, interior design and exhibitions. seminar 05 -&nbsp;28.03.2024 Case Studies To conclude the first part of semester, we kick-off the assignement: each student brings an image or articles or media of choice that is briefly documenting three cases of interest for them. The class would be structured as a collective discussion which would enable an informed second part of the semester. self-organized by students public lecture #1 - 10.04.2024&nbsp; &nbsp;(online) Weaponized Architecture: Settler Colonialism and the Built Environment in Palestine If architecture is necessarily violent in one way or another and if it has the propensity to serve the political regimes of settler colonialism, structural racism, heteropatriarchy, and ableism, how can we possibly engage with it without being complicit? Architecture is settler colonialism's best friend. Without it, settler colonialism could still exist but settlers would never sleep, and would never leave their weapons while occupying the land they invaded and settled on. Architecture allows the crystallization of colonialism in materializing borders, checkpoints, colonies, and prisons. While the workshop we will do together will attempt to examine architecture's various forms of complicities in its function of organizing bodies in space, the lecture will focus more particularly on the ways through which architecture materializes settler colonialism in Palestine. While the public attention is slowly leaving the methodical annihilation of Gaza's architecture by the Israeli occupying forces, it is crucial to look at the way colonial violence unfolds in a less dramatic, yet as implacable way throughout Palestine. The lecture was unfortunately censored by the ETH executive board. A counter-lecture independently organized by Léopold took place online instead.

A story-sharing session … of collective zine creation; … to reflect on how borders shape identities and relationships with others; … to connect by understanding day-to-day struggles and fostering empathy. As boundary markers on territories, borders are mechanisms trying to distinguish one side from another. Taking different shapes on the landscape, borders maintain, and reproduce systems of power that shape different bodies and their different ways of life. If borders are markers of differences, understanding how we relate to them is perhaps a way of understanding differences and how we relate ourselves to others. In this workshop, we will share our personal experiences and encounters with border(s) through the making of zines. Zines, historically a homemade tool for political protest, aim to empower marginalized voices and disseminate underrepresented narratives. By sharing and documenting the border stories, we come closer to each other as well as ourselves. We will write, sketch, draw, collage, and produce zines together, and will have an “atlas” of border stories at the end of the session. &gt;&gt;&nbsp; Harsha Walia, An Internationalist Front Against Border Imperialism – The Funambulist Magazine &gt;&gt; Prüwer, Tobias, Welt aus Mauern, 2018 Laurene Cen is studying architecture (M.A.) at UdK Berlin.

Historically, colonial and imperial powers have used floating architecture for detaining or transporting surplus populations, those deemed criminal, and any population they wish to untether from their social divisions. These structures have defied classification throughout different stages of state formation, including colonial expansion, proliferation of carceral systems, and defensive border security. Beyond the subject of British carceral regimes utilizing decommissioned seagoing vessels in the 18th and 19th centuries, and slave ships in the Atlantic slave trade, there is limited scholarship on detention in waterways. This gap in recorded history has prevented the potential of tracing continuities between epochs and creating a broader category for researching maritime structures and detention practices. These watery histories are essential in understanding the development and maintenance of empires and nation-states. Students will be given a brief lecture on the history of detention in waterways, exploring how various maritime architectures intersect, framing them as a specific application of systemic knowledge and a contemporary method of border demarcation, surveillance, and societal control. Next, participants will view video-based journalism and artistic investigations into contemporary maritime detention and migrant housing sites, followed by a Q+A discussion. Sean Vegezzi is an artist and researcher who has examined urban topographies and infrastructures through image-making, site-specific installation, sculpture, and writing. Vegezzi's practice begins from lived experience and investigates civic life in relation to issues of autonomy, privacy, security, carcerality, and policing. They are currently studying urban studies and psychology at The New School in New York City. seminar 08 - 25.04.2024 Offshore / Offshoring Students will engage in a workshop to examine an ongoing activist archive-building project centered on the Vernon C. Bain Center (VCBC), a contemporary maritime detention site in New York City. VCBC was, until recently, an 800-bed, 627-foot floating jail moored in the South Bronx. From 1992 to 2023, it operated as an auxiliary of the Rikers Island jail complex. There is practically no information in the public record about the facility, but materials recently collected by Vegezzi highlight the structure's connection to carceral systems across oceanic gaps. The archive aims to provide full context on the facility's history and infrastructure for the general public, community activists, researchers, and journalists. Together, we will think through the materials and consider how urban planning and architectural practice might challenge the ideological hold of state power and the use of floating architecture in waterways– spaces which at once function in service of, and in opposition to, empires and conceptions of security and law.&gt;&gt; https://www.seanvegezzi.com/vcbc.html public lecture #3 - 30.04.2024&nbsp; &nbsp; 19h To Remain in the No Longer In 1962, Oscar Niemeyer was invited to conceive an international fairground in the city of Tripoli,&nbsp;Lebanon, which was never completed. To Remain in the No Longer looks&nbsp;at how architecture operates in this failed state. By examining the precarity of the project site that remains to this day, the film reflects on the country’s current socio-economic crisis. Employing archival materials, interviews, and 16mm and digital film, the documentary explores the political and cultural forces that have come to bear on the site and reflects on how architecture has been instrumentalized in the ongoing construction of a national narrative. Joyce Joumaa is a video artist and writer based between Beirut and Montreal. After growing up in Lebanon, she pursued a BFA in Film Studies at Concordia University in Canada. Her work focuses on microhistories within Lebanon as a way to understand how past structures inform the present moment. Central to her work is an interest towards the political charge inscribed in spaces and the social psychology that unfolds out of this tension. Her current research revolves around the post colonial education system in Lebanon and the maritime border conflict with Israel. seminar 09 -&nbsp;02.05.2024 In this seminar, Joyce will present her ongoing video project on the maritime border between Lebanon and Israel. The maritime boundary conflict between Lebanon and Israel arose in 2006 during Cyprus’s attempt to define its borders for oil and gas resource exploitation. Discrepancies in mapping, discovered later by Lebanon, led to the loss of 1,430 km² of maritime area. Seeking to create a docu-fiction video about this issue, the project will explore the intangibility of maritime borders, where the documentary part focuses on observing the sea from various Lebanese vantage points, emphasizing the invisible nature of these boundaries. The video will symbolically feature fish as representatives in conversations, drawing from political assemblies, emphasizing the continuous negotiation failures and colonial legacy, employing 3D animation to visualize the underwater world and fish species found in Lebanese waters. In this project, Joyce will be experimenting with new media technique ahead of producing a video work that investigates the Maritime border conflict between Lebanon and Israel. The piece will translate a fictional political congress of fish that happens underwater as an attempt to look at how diplomatic relations are mediated under contexts of geopolitical conflicts. &gt;&gt;&nbsp;https://joycejoumaa.com/ seminar 10 - 16.05.2024 Collective Discussion To conclude the class, we will have a collective discussion on the case studies from every students, to raise questions and receive inputs and feedback. &gt;&gt; ZHKolonial self-organized by Unmasking Space public lecture #4 - 16.05.2024&nbsp; &nbsp;16:30-17:30 Schools as Repression and Empowerment Located in the Putumayo region in southern Colombia, the Inga community consists of over 20.000 individuals with a distinct language, culture and heritage. Most of present-day Colombia was colonized by the Spanish in the 16th century, but these remote valleys nestled between the Andes and the Amazon rainforest had only been reached by catholic missionaries and only in the late 19th century did the central government assert territorial control. Both the Church and the State pursued a campaign aimed at cancelling the distinct Inga identity. Schools played a central role, as the violence was used to prohibit the use of the language and kids were forced to live in resident schools - severing the links to their family traditions. After this brutal repression, nowadays, more and more schools in the region offer their program in Inga and many initiatives are aimed at empowering the culture through schooling.The seminar reflected on the role of the educational apparatus as a factor of cultural transformation and its subsequent appropriation and indigenous resignification as a mechanism of cultural resistance today. This happened by presenting a historical overview of the 20th century power struggles and by sharing certain experiences, techniques and knowledges of the Inga world (weaving, music, medicine, language). Lizeth Córdoba was born in Aponte, in a community permeated by the Catholic tradition which stigmatized indigenous culture. During her schooling years, the new ethno-education programs strengthened her desire to reconnect with her ancestral roots and become a social worker. She is now enrolled in a master’s in international development cooperation and has been involved in the process of implementation of the Indigenous Pan-Amazonian Biocultural University of Colombia. Manuel Muyuy Chasoy comes from a family with a nomadic background. He lived his first years of life in the Sibundoy Valley, where he spoke Inga with his extended family. He attended an intercultural institution, and later studied anthropology at the University of Cauca. At present, together with friends, he is working on proposals related to development of the local community. https://unmasking.space/2025 Sat, 04 Jan 2025 16:03:27 +0000 unmasking space https://unmasking.space/2025 Course Syllabus - Spring 2025 Thursdays 15:45 - 17:30 HCI F2 ETH Hönggerberg ECHOES OF THE UNSEEN This semester, Unmasking Space will engage with the urban scale beyond the rational and efficient forces that shape it, exploring multiple perspectives to understand the city’s dynamics and power structures. A city can be captured on maps, diagrams, and guidebooks but conventional representations often overlook its hidden layers. By experiencing the city through employing alternative learning methods, we aim to uncover relationships and voices excluded from traditional maps and official narratives. What are critical methods to engage with the city? What are relevant stories in the city that are concealed, ignored, and left out? Who defines the city and who benefits from it? How do architectures reinforce or resist systems of control? &gt;&gt; STUDENT INFORMATION &lt;&lt;&nbsp; &gt;&gt; SEMESTER POSTER &lt;&lt; session 01 - 20.02.2025 Community Making In the first session of this semester’s Unmasking Space course, we had the chance to get to know each other. We shared our key chains: some were hand-crafted, some heavy with memories, while others were absent, reflecting the fact that not everyone locks their doors. Silently we exchanged on a large roll of paper on questions related to the topic. Which city has shaped you the most? Brugg, Istanbul, Barcelona… How do you feel in cities? Lost and free, overwhelmed, excited. Who has power in the city? The police, SwissLife, architects? Who is unseen in the cities? The words and the connections between them added up to a collective mind map. &gt;&gt; Class and assignment presentation &lt;&lt;&nbsp; Unmasking Space is a student-led course in the Department of Architecture in 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. session 02 - 27.02.2025 Walking through queer-feminist citiesNi Una Menos, feminicies and spaces of protest and resistance How are spaces of queer-feminist protest impacting the lived city? We are taking this lecture to the street, revisiting sites of feminist strikes and demonstrations, looking for their physical remains on lamp posts and concrete walls. We will visit current and past spaces of queer-feminist community and organizing, as well as learn about the specific spatial practices on the Ni-Una-Menos-Platz (former Helvetiaplatz) that create visibility for the tip of the iceberg of systemic patriarchal violence: feminicides. Using the city as our personal and collective diary we explore our own relationship to urban space, our feeling of safety, fear and belonging. How is the movement of our bodies through the city influenced by our gender and/or queerness? By uncovering both collective and personal layers of past and present a complex spatial manifestation of queer-feminist Zurich becomes visible. Laia Meier (she/her) is currently working on her master’s thesis in architecture at the ETH Zurich exploring the spaces of queer-feminist struggles through time, how Zurich’s public space is used to make systematic patriarchal violence visible and where in the city traces of utopia can be found. session 03 - 06.03.2025 My Curls as the Method How do my curls, these spirals that bend and loop back, trouble the binaries and borders carved deep into the colonial and imperial foundations of architecture and urban design? How do they take space they have long been denied, making space for personal and collective stories of refuge, migration, diaspora, as well as race, gender, and beauty? How do my curls defy state-imposed categories of "proper citizenship”, shaped by whiteness and linearity? In this lecture, we will explore how I have used my curls as a method to study diasporic space-making practices across hair salons of Zurich. I will share my journey of experimenting, combining, and dismantling conventional academic research methods. Together, we will read and delve into the works of decolonial feminist writers – Linda Tuhiwai Smith, Fatima El-Tayeb, and Emma Dabiri – whose voices have been guiding lights in shaping my approach to research and architecture. We will also watch excerpts from “I Will Speak My Curls!” (40’), a documentary resulting from this project’s fieldwork, and end with an open discussion. This lecture did not take place.&nbsp; Helia Jamshidi (she/her) was born in Tehran, Iran, and raised in Lucerne, Switzerland. This lecture is part of her free master’s thesis, titled “You Can’t Touch My Curls! Tracing Race, Space and Beauty in Diaspora Salons” at the Department of Architecture at ETH Zurich. Currently, Helia is a doctoral student at the Institute of History and Theory of Architecture (gta) at ETH Zurich. Her research focuses on 18th and 19th-century embroidery. session 04 - 13.03.2025 A Protest City: Augmented Spaces for Insurgent Citizenship&nbsp;Mapping protest, space, and resistance in the augmented city. If untamed nature, wilderness and campsites are the antithesis of the city, then protest is its anathema. Whereas cities are a computerised and policed entity, protests defy measurement. As self-regulating organisms, protest determines their own physicality and conjures up new forms of space and citizenship. This session explores the slippage of the modern city into a novel liquid and rebel imaginaires, whose re-emergence and testing on contemporary political ground evolved into a spatial practice of occupation, communication and reclaiming. Drawing on the concept of the 'augmented city', where material and mediated geographies converge, we will explore how protesters navigate, transform and narrate the extreme environment of protest through hybrid mechanisms of diffusion and organisation. By making concepts and tactics operative, participants will collectively formulate a manifesto for engaging with insurgent citizenships informed by critical architectural thought and media.Recommended Reading:&gt;&gt; Harvey, David. “The Right to the City.“ New Left Review, no 53 (2008).&nbsp; Workshop:&gt;&gt; Collective writing&nbsp;&nbsp; Richard Gerald-Rondón is a spatial researcher, examining the margins of the contemporary condition, politics and media with an angle towards forensics and OSINT.

Sectarianism is embedded in the city’s infrastructure and governance, shaping daily life and reinforcing spatial divisions. These divisions fragment collective imaginaries of Beirut, yet they also create opportunities for new solidarities—communities bound not by sectarian ties but by a shared drive to resist exclusionary urban practices&nbsp; Through mapping, interviews, field research, and walking, Nathalie’s work examines how communities negotiate within dominant, alienating narratives to reclaim their right to the city. Her master’s project, Protocols for Beirut’s Unbuildable Lots, maps and catalogs legally unbuildable lots—overlooked urban spaces that can escape development. Representing 1% of the city’s area, these anomalies in the built environment emerge as openings for mobilization and alternative urban imaginaries. By making these parcels visible and developing an open-source dataset—an archive of potential spaces—her project seeks to empower dwellers as active agents in shaping their built environment. By linking this research to broader practices in the Global South, this session will reflect on the role of space-makers in documenting microhistories, producing situated knowledge, and using alternative mapping as a tool of resistance.Recommended Reading:&gt;&gt;&nbsp;Bou Akar, Hiba.

Aesthetic and Operative Methodologies for Mapping the Violence of Material Extractivism The field [...] connects different physical scales and scales of action. It overflows any map that seeks to frame it because there are always more connections and relations to be made in excess of its frame.1 This seminar raises fundamental methodological questions concerning the mapping of violence within networks of material extraction. In a world where events unfold heterogeneously—both in space and time—tracing direct causation between individuals, environments, and corporations appears to be a foolish task. Where do we draw the boundaries of our research when infinite relations remain to be made? Conversely, if our claims define the scope of inquiry, how can we produce evidence when knowledge is monopolized by state archives, when research must be conducted remotely, or when our resources (time, energy, funding) are finite? Beyond merely acknowledging one’s own bias, how can addressing positionality become an operative tool—one that not only situates our research but also helps identify an entry point into urgent political conditions? These questions serve as anchors for the seminar and will be discussed, explored, and narrated through the investigation (Voids in Earth, 2024), which traces imports of Eritrean gold—linked to human rights abuses, torture, and slavery—into Switzerland. Refusing to regard these acts of violence as singular events with a clear beginning and end, the investigation instead examines the spatial, legal, political, and historical forces, events, and conditions that render contemporary extractive violence possible in the first place. 1 &nbsp; Lawrence Abu Hamdan, Nabil Ahmed, Maayan Amir, Hisham Ashkar, Emily Dische-Becker, and Ryan Bishop.

However, just as the residential space an individual can possess is limited, there are also restrictions on the space where one can move and stay, depending on one’s positions. Under the themes of symbiosis and empathy, we will create a collective installation by sharing experiences and imagination through sound, developing an architectural proposal that transforms the city into a “home” for everyone.

Was this space the right one to have such a discussion? Was my discourse the right one? The ecofeminist theoretician and witch Starhawk tackles the framework of traditional meetings and exposes them as a site of tensions and frustration in her book The Empowerment Manual: a Guide for Collaborative Groups. Divergent visions, unsaid opinions, and domination dynamics can lead to counterproductive meetings weakening the group cohesion. To ensure the smooth conduct of a meeting, Starhwak proposes a method defining common goals, values, and intentions to tackle group conflicts and flatten power structures inside groups. Visualization exercises, set-ups for bodies in space, hand sign communications, “weather reports” to state your mood, or voting procedures are also encompassed and exposed as tools to minimize tensions.In this session, that was initially planned to be a reflective collective gathering about the course, the Drag Lab proposes to expose Starhawk’s method and to apply it directly to the Unmasking Space’s assembly. The method will first be surveyed and explained by our members before being enacted during a workshop by the whole team of participants, from students to Unmasking Space members. Endquoting Starhawk: “Meetings: love them, hate them, but the work of the world cannot get done without them. The time, thought, effort, and training we invest in making our meetings positive and productive will be well-rewarded by greater connection, satisfaction, and productivity throughout our organizations.Right people, right container, right process, right facilitation, right agenda — get these all right, and meetings will flow smoothly, be lively and vibrant, and servethe work of the group. We cannot change the world alone, and when we ally with others, the attention and care we invest in how we work together will strengthenour effectiveness and expand our vision.” The DRAG lab is a group formed at the end of 2020 within EPFL Architecture, bringing together students, mid-level staff, PhD students, alumni and other community actors. In autumn 2021, the group joined the ASAR association. It is committed to opening up new lines of discussion and raising awareness of issues of intersectionality, gender, parity and diversity, within the Section and the EPFL Institute of Architecture and beyond. The group works to assemble a body of knowledge around gender studies and feminist intersectional, decolonial and queer architectural theory, in order to promote awareness in the field of architecture. The group was born out of a need for a space for intersectional activism, experimental pedagogy, peer teaching and collective performance within the institution. It organizes a series of events every semester, mainly book clubs, lectures, performances, workshops, film screenings, exhibitions and more. &nbsp; DRAG lab is also a member of the international “Parity Front” network, which brings together various activist collectives working on the same issues within academic institutions such as ETHZ, TU Wien, TUM, TU Berlin, USI Mendrisio, HS Bern, TU Graz, Harvard GSD, etc. session 09 - 08.05.2025 Discreet space, Not-So-Proud time: Queering as an Art of Noticing What happens when space refuses to be fully known, when moments slip between visibility and disappearance, and when queerness exists not as a fixed identity but as a way of noticing? This workshop embraces an autoethnographic approach rooted in the idea of queering as an art of noticing, a method that acknowledges the messy, partial, and non-linear nature of our shared environments. A “patchworking” method is introduced, blending drawing, collage, and writing to destabilize standardized narratives. The process demands three gestures: destabilizing spatial storytelling by questioning who narrates a space’s history; embracing non-linear rhythms that refuse tidy timelines; and defending the right of hidden spaces to remain illegible, resisting the colonial urge to rationalize or expose. Through experimental exercises, logic and prejudice surface only to be ruptured by flashes of memory or texture. The goal is not resolution but entanglement: acknowledging that cities, like our bodies, are messy archives of contradiction. By attuning to shadows and hushes, queering as noticing becomes a practice of composing un-logic—where architecture’s rigid frameworks crumble, and vibrant truths flicker in the dark.&nbsp; Preparation for the Session: Bring a simple, everyday object or "being" that holds a bit of extra meaning or presence - this could be anything from the jacket you’re wearing that day, a decaying apple from the studio, to a favorite perfume. It can be something basic, ordinary, yet rich enough that you could describe it in more than two sentences, and that expresses its presence through smell, taste, sight, or touch.

Mark Wigley argues that an architect’s sketch is a mining document, cleansing the site, while building insertion is an act of displacement and disruption. Maps and architectural drawings systematically exclude voices based on species, gender, sexuality, class, and caste, privileging certain perspectives while erasing others. To challenge this extractive paradigm, we must shift our tools for thinking and representing the city. This class embraces fabric and embroidery as methods of slow engagement and collective representation, centering marginalized narratives. Historically feminist and queer tools of subversion, embroidery resists the absoluteness of architectural drawings, offering unsanitized, non-normative, and layered stories. Rooted in touch and intergenerational use, embroidery—adorning everyday domestic objects—embodies hidden labor, making it a powerful medium for queer-feminist storytelling and reimagining urban representation.Preparation for the Session: In preparation for our class, please bring with you a memory from the city — a story, moment, or experience that feels meaningful but might be absent from how cities are typically mapped or represented. This can be from the city of Zurich or from other cities you may have lived in or visited. This could be a place where you felt deeply seen — or erased; minor but recurring encounter with a person, plant, animal, or object; sensory memory: a sound, smell, or texture tied to a specific part of the city; a story of care, resistance, exclusion, belonging, or transformation; seasonal or environmental change you’ve noticed but is rarely acknowledged in maps or plans; memory tied to your identity, body, or community that traditional urban design overlooks. Think of this memory as a seed for your embroidered patch. You’re welcome to bring a small sketch, image, or object that helps you recall or express it. Come ready to share your memory briefly and begin translating it into thread, color, and texture. This process will help us explore alternative, embodied ways of mapping and storytelling in the city.

Over the past weeks we have already started unpacking these questions together, and we are very happy to welcome all of our guests who are joining us throughout the semester. Together we are looking at working conditions in architecture, in both education and professional practice, from excessive workloads and precarity to strategies of resistance and collective forms of practice. By questioning authorship in architecture, we aim to move beyond the figure of the solitary genius and recognise the many forms of labour that shape architectural production. This also means rethinking who else might be considered an architect, highlighting alternative role models and developing counter-canons that challenge dominant images of expertise and authority. session 01 - 19.02.2026 Community Making In the first session of this semester’s Unmasking Space course, we had the chance to get to know each other. We shared our key chains: some were hand-crafted, some heavy with memories, while others were absent, reflecting the fact that not everyone locks their doors. Unmasking Space is a student-led course in the Department of Architecture in 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. session 02 - 26.02.2026 House of Invisible Workers. A reimagined labour archive in Vienna Buildings are never the work of a single individual. They are shaped by countless people and diverse stories at every stage of their existence. While architects are often credited as 'the sole creators', they are just one group within a vast network of people involved in the production of buildings. But what about the people who construct, clean, repair and maintain our buildings? Who carries out these tasks, and under what conditions? This session examines the systemic erasure of labour in architecture, drawing on insights from the master's thesis 'House of Invisible Workers: A reimagined labour archive in Vienna'. Questioning the notion of buildings as isolated aesthetic objects, the thesis explores the intersection of class, race, gender, and migration in building production. Taking one of Vienna’s iconic municipal housing projects as a case study, archival research and critical analysis are employed to interpret the building through its absences, thereby uncovering hidden histories. In doing so, this study proposes new archival methods to prevent further gaps in architectural history and reflects on our role in demanding fair labour ethics in architectural production.

For us, feminist theory emerges from lived experience—it can also be felt and practiced physically and situationally. In this session, participants will carve solid wood boards to make visible rage, anger, and unspoken expressions. Different tools and carving techniques will be explored, and the work is collaborative, emphasizing collective creation. The session begins with a short input on the practice of women and non-binary makers in woodworking. No prior experience is necessary, and the session is open to all. Please wear clothing that can get dirty and sturdy shoes. We look forward to exploring feminist, embodied practices in woodworking together. gemeinsam bauen wir neu is a Switzerland-based feminist collective of women and gender-queer craftspeople and technicians working across art, architecture, design, scenography, urban planning, construction, and craft. Through political reflection and collaborative processes, the collective critically examines power relations within technical and construction professions. Its practice advocates for alternative, more equitable building methods and fosters fairer, solidarity-based forms of collaboration across disciplines. session 04 - 12.03.2026 Dream Job Architect? On the contradictions between career prospects vs. professional reality in architecture education and practice For many, entering the architectural profession is marked by disillusionment: there is often a gap between the self-image conveyed during studies—creative, socially impactful, ecologically responsible—and the reality of a capitalist construction industry. Instead of a building transition and adaptive reuse, investor-driven logic, time pressure, and routine tasks tend to dominate. The result is frustration, doubt, and a sense of powerlessness. In this session, we approach these questions from a unions perspective: What professional identity is produced in architectural education—and why does it so rarely materialize in everyday practice? What role do architects actually play within the construction economy? And how can collective perspectives for action be developed that neither reproduce academic illusions nor lapse into resignation? Drawing on both contemporary and historical debates, we will explore the topic through arpentage—a collective reading method rooted in workers’ self-education. Together, we will read recent texts as well as writings from the 1970s that emerged in the context of the student movement. By dividing the texts, reading them individually, and reconstructing them collectively, we aim to make contradictions visible, demystify theoretical knowledge, and develop concrete starting points for collective and solidarity-driven action.

Drawing on theories of intimacy, spectatorship, and political economy, it asks what it means to design for constant visibility in a techno-capitalist world, where private life becomes productive and intimacy is mobilized as labour. Through historical, cinematic, domestic, urban, and platform-based case studies, the lecture traces architectures of exposure—from the home to the city to digital environments—revealing how perception, subjectivity, and architectural work are reshaped by regimes of looking. The session departs from a central question: what does it mean to design for being seen, when exposure itself operates as infrastructure? In contemporary techno-capitalist contexts, architectural practice is deeply entangled with platforms, metrics, and regimes of spectatorship that convert visibility into value. Intimacy is no longer opposed to work; it is actively mobilized as a spatial, affective, and economic resource, structuring how bodies perform, how interiors function, and how cities circulate attention.

From the design studio to the architectural office and back In this non-hierarchical and horizontal workshop, we collectively investigate the links between studio culture and office culture, as we believe it is in the design studio wherearchitects first learn to view architecture as a call rather than work. Drawing on our research and knowledge on labor and exploitation in architectural offices and our perspective as architectural workers with a migrant background, we aim to explore and self-reflect with the students how work dynamics are rehearsed, normalized, and internalized within academia and later implemented in professional practice. Indeed, long hours, self-exploitation, and blurred boundaries between learning and overworking are often established during architectural education and framed as commitments and pathways to excellence. We argue that these dynamics shape both students’ work ethics and the unspoken foundation of their future professional practice and roles. The workshop places the students at the centre and aims to offer them guidance in reflecting their role, agency, and position within learning and working. The outcome is intentionally open, as the students are encouraged to self reflect and present their own findings. No preparatory readings or tasks are required, as the focus is on students’ personal experiences and the thoughts they bring into and unpack during the workshop.

Capital generated by ongoing intense construction activities in Switzerland has reached unprecedented levels through the extraction of labour on construction sites, which pursues craft devaluation and deteriorating site conditions. According to Peggy Deamer, “we can only have a more fulfilling, less passive, and more disruptive role in capitalism if we don’t think of construction and labour as conceptual ‘others’ of architecture, and, I would add, embrace its production chains.” In this session, Lalie and Carolina will present their diploma work examining labour processes on Swiss construction sites and advocating for labour to be recentered within architectural practices. It aims to offer new imaginaries of solidarity within the construction industry by tackling construction site working conditions and beyond. Through field research, including voices collected from interviews and discussions, as well as observations and situations experienced on site visits, this work reveals hidden narratives from the construction industry. The work deploys SIA Ordinance 112 as a transformative device for true collaboration. What would architecture be if workers from the construction industry carried it out as a collaborative project, labour truly impacting our design choices? Using a case study, the project proposes new approaches where functionality, assembly logic, and coordination become fundamental design components. Reading Recommendations: Dharia, Namita Vijay.

The book frames domesticity as an ongoing site of architectural labour: care, maintenance, negotiation, adaptation, and emotional work. These forms of labour are essential to how space is produced and sustained, yet they remain systematically excluded from architectural education, authorship, and professional value systems. Structured in two parts — Reflections and Exercises — the book bridges critical analysis and practice. Reflections gathers essays and conversations examining how domestic labour mirrors broader working conditions in architecture, where collaborative and care-based work is essential yet undervalued. Exercises offer participatory tools that redistribute authorship and make visible the collective labour architecture depends on. The session inverts the conventional model of designing for inhabitants by recognising inhabitants as co-producers of domestic space. Through collective drawing and storytelling, participants explore lived experience as architectural knowledge, challenging the myth of the solitary designer and the dominance of abstraction, efficiency, and individual genius.Reading Recommendations: Birkby, Phillys. “Herspace” in Making Room: Women and Architecture, Heresies 11, Vol.3, No 3, 1981, 28-9.

This figure—implicitly wealthy, white, male, able-bodied natural-born citizen—remains neither realistic nor desirable. Yet it continues to shape how architectural labor is defined. This session starts from the premise that an increasing number of people who study architecture will achieve none of these ideals, for they are workers, not authors. They own nothing. Much of their labor is unpaid. Their contributions go uncredited. They barely design, let alone build. And yet they work and work and work. Through collective mapping, role-play, and institutional critique, participants will document and reflect on forms of architectural labour that are typically unmentioned, unrecorded, and unappreciated in academic and professional settings. By collaboratively producing alternative documents—unseen CVs, timesheets, and codes of conduct—the session challenges individual productivity and competition as dominant educational values. Instead, it foregrounds lived experience and collective knowledge production. The session concludes with a shared analysis of the gathered materials, inviting critical reflection on how architectural education produces, normalises, and depends on invisible labor.

The Tripping on Modernist Monuments research project, initiated in 2020 by girlscanscan, explores how monuments—whether intentionally or unintentionally—make societal conflicts visible and how expertise from monument preservation, activism, art, and engineering can be integrated. It’s interested in built environmental heritage not in its clear, visually pleasing representation, but rather in its raw reality, its current use, and its entanglement in postsocialist politics. As children of postsocialism with personal stories of the working conditions of women in the field, they aim to reflect on the collective experience of many: being under the glass ceiling and on this side of the former Iron Curtain in Central and Eastern Europe. In this lecture, "POV: you start a feminist spatial practice in CEE," besides presenting their projects, Lilla Kammermann (she/her) and Lilla Luca Varga (she/her) would like to open a discussion on queer-feminist perspectives in architecture and related spatial studies, and think about how these perspectives could be integrated into the architecture curriculum, working culture, and practiced on a daily basis.

The collective was founded in 2020 in Budapest, Hungary by young practitioners in the field of architecture, urbanism and cultural heritage. Since then, it approaches the (in)tangible heritage by scanning and mapping the invisible dimensions of the built environment. While exploring the socialist urban fabric, it seeks to connect these experiences with the post-socialist reality of the former Eastern Bloc and today’s heritage discourse. Lilla Luca Varga (she/her), an architect, and Lilla Kammermann (she/her), an urbanist—both researchers at Bauhaus University Weimar— co-taught the seminar on the matter. session 11 - 13.05.2026 FUCK MODULOR Here we will cultivate the references we wish to grow, in order to become the architect we will be proud to look in the mirror one day. Floating on the stormy architectural sea, will be possible only if we are holding to our core values. This workshop which can be viewed as an empowering ritual will help us define them. It will be articulated in the following steps: 1. EXPRESS 2. MERGE 3. RELAX 4. EXPEL 5. DESTROY 6. BREATHE With new seeds that passionate us we will slowly regain trust in our values which will bring us closer to a more human, respectful and courageous architecture. We will create a safe space to talk or debate in a constructive way to unfold problems at every scale. If on one hand we learn to ground ourselves, on the other hand to efficiently confront the downsides, we will bring architecture to a whole new chapter from which we will be the main characters. First, we want to define our core values and understand who we are. Before the class, everyone will need to think of one person they admire who they will never hear about in an architecture class, with whom they share a common vision. Secondly, we want to acknowledge what is bringing us down and to fight it. We will bring an image, a text, a plan, a model, an object that is inspiring us hate. During the workshop, we will challenge these references and objects through the prism of our values. Each voice gives a different approach to a profession so we will be ourselves for once, bring references we want, talk about our passions, gain the confidence to think that we can say no.

As long as she can remember, she has always wanted to be an architect. She obtained her Master of Architecture in 2015 followed by her HMONP in 2017. She believes that the field needs to reinvent itself to finally give a voice to those who have been silenced for centuries. In short, Anna Diallo is fed up with the present but hopeful for the future. https://unmasking.space/2023 Wed, 18 Jan 2023 12:53:07 +0000 unmasking space https://unmasking.space/2023 COURSE SYLLABUS - SPRING 2023 Seminar 01 - 23.02.2023 - HIL.E5 - INTRODUCTION - UNMASKING SPACE An introduction …to talk about our values … to identify our motivations … to come together for the first time Course material &gt;&gt;Welcome to Unmasking Space &gt;&gt;Tumblr Tutorial Unmasking Space is a student-led course in the Department of Architecture in ETH Zurich.

With attention to sustainable material systems and community resource-pooling, the office critically examines the role of parties and similar ephemeral spaces as the origin of complex social and material networks with urban, political, and environmental effects. Office Party further investigates the ways that parties provide insight into the development of architecture as a temporary and responsive mode of space-making through written and editorial work. The second volume of the office’s annual publication, Party Planner, is available now. Workshop directed by Chase Galis, Christina Moushoul, and Sonia Sobrino Ralston.
