20 Basel, each brought their personal knowhow and a unique and innovative design method. Typological Transfer in practice The methodology of “typological transfer” stems from a paradox that lies at the core of the architectural practice: when architects are to create the future, only one thing is available to them: the past. The grand innovations of the Italian Renaissance came forth from a thorough study of Roman Antiquity. Even the modernist doctrine took its essence in studies of archaic cultures, in search of timeless principles. This principle of studying the past to imagine the future is the starting point of the master class. As an exercise, the participants have been invited to compose a project for Brussels by deploying samples of dense city fabric and urban buildings that have proven their qualities in other cities. ‘Typological Transfer’ is a design method and a method for teaching that is developed at the ETH in Zürich by the chair of Emanuel Christ and Christoph Gantenbein. The method conveys a belief in urban architecture. In building the city by means of strong pieces of architecture. The capacity of the existing urban fabric to accommodate densification, and the means to build qualitative, but significantly denser, neighborhoods, are tested by the transfer, transposition and translation of existing building typologies. What might seem a playful act at first, actually reinstalls a recurring but long

The most famous example of this is 19th century Paris. The Haussmann building typology has been transferred to numerous other European cities, and also to Brussels. Instead of witnessing this phenomenon, ‘Typological Transfer’ turns this method into a conscious act of design. Students and researchers at ETH examined building typologies of 20th century cities, in an attempt to reveal and describe the defining characteristics of these urban architectures. This ambition naturally leads to studying cities that are intuitively identified as urban. The type and the city Four cities were the subject of typological study: Hong Kong, Rome, New York, and Buenos Aires. All of them are modern cities, which grew Assistenzprofessur Emanuel Christ und Christoph Gantenbein — Typologien # 1 Hong Kong Kontakt: www. christgantenbein. arch.ethz.ch Assistenten: FS Nele Dechmann 2010 Victoria Easton Patrick Schmid Raoul Sigl Susanne Vécsey Assistenz: HIL E 70.5 FS 2011 Kontakt: www. christgantenbein. arch.ethz.ch Assistenten: Nele Dechmann Victoria Easton Patrick Schmid Raoul Sigl Susanne Vécsey Assistenz: HIL E 70.5 Assistenzprofessur Emanuel Christ und Christoph Gantenbein Typologie # 1 Hong Kong Assistenzprofessur Emanuel Christ und Christoph Gantenbein Typologie # 3 New York Kontakt: Assistenzprofessur www.

They are cities with unique development patterns that are characterized by a specific architecture. It is this architectural dimension of those cities that is critical to their urban quality. The specific architectural typologies possess the urban qualities that are often missing in contemporary building production. Rather Assistenz: HIL E 70.5 Typologie # 4 Buenos Aires
