Matthieu D. Schwartz Architecture CV 2020

M

y name is Matthieu Schwartz, I’m a

Swiss-Canadian architect student at

ETHZürich. Growing up between three different

cities and three languages, I’ve learned

to adapt quickly to my environment and

I enjoy interacting with it. I am a creative

and an intuitive person. My technical curriculum

has taught me to structure original

thoughts in a rational way. In the world of

architecture, I believe an important quality

lies between art and technique: Character.

Water tank apartment building

Water Documentation Project Pula Croatia

Documentation

As part of the semester, the studio took

a three day trip to Pula in Croatia. Each

student was assigned to document an

element of the region. As I researched

the theme of Water, the tasks presented

a challenge as the scale of the subject

required plans and the locals would not

easily reveal information about their

water systems. This increased my satisfaction

to discover and document unexpected

infrastructures.

Amongst the many interesting leveled

systems, waves breakers and important

harbor of the city, two buildings especially

caught my attention.

Prof. T. Emerson ETH Zürich 2018

Thanks to a local architect Emil Jurcan,

I had a glance inside a hydroelectric station

hidden in plain sight in the middle

of the city parking lot where the market

takes place. Then thanks to a janitor, I

had the chance to learn about the existence

of a water tank at the top of an

apartment building. These two buildings

were chosen to symbolize the area

and two ArchiCAD line drawings are

the result of my documentation.

Uljanik Industrial Theatre Project Pula Croatia

Archeology of Tourism

As I started looking for a site in Pula,

I was particularly interested in Uljanik,

a huge Industrial Infrastructure slowly

running bankrupt. How could one reuse

Uljanik, without destroying or interrupting

its current functions. I was

looking for a second use of the area, a

use only after working hours to allow

the workers to build ships during the

day. As I visited the site, I discovered old

rails connecting the area and the idea

was born, to use these rails to reinterpret

Uljanik.

I wanted the train to be more than just

connecting A to B, but instead as a place

for culture, Uljanik was rethought as a

huge theater. The stage of this theater

would be the whole area and the tribune

would be one waggon following the old

rails. Visitors of the theatre will enter the

waggon at the old train station of Pula.

The station serves as a foyer, as a beginning

and endpoint of the experience.

From the station the waggon drives into

Uljanik, driving slowly, changing the

view of the audience at all times and

stopping at several points that serve as

a stage. It will make a tour through the

whole site before it will return to the

train station.

Uljanik Industrial Theatre Project Pula Croatia

To create a connection to Uljanik and to

reuse old materials, the waggon is built out

of old and local shipwrecks. Non assigned

seats allow the audience to change their positions

during the play.

Further I designed a set of objects for the

theatre infrastructure. These objects are

placed in the area around the stages. They

are inspired by Uljanik itself. The objects fit

into the surrounding but are still different

from those already present. The work of

John Hejduk was a guideline in the process

of the design. His concept was adapted in

giving every object a character.

Masters Of Play

This project is about designing a

building that embodies a taboo:

The Freihaus. Maybe unexpected, I

undertook the theme of childhood.

As much as children are considered

as celestial angels I was intrigued

to notice how kids are also undermined

and ignored. The Freihaus became

a school inspired by the Greek

“Skhole”: which consists in free time,

a place for leisure, entertainment

and rest. The education follows the

theory of J. Huizinga, a new era of

Homo Ludens, Man the Player. Each

chamber suggests a form of play that

should help you acquire knowledge.

It is played or performed within a

playground, and played moreover as

a feast, in mirth and freedom. A sacred

space, a temporarily real world

of its own. With the end of play its

effect is not lost, rather it continues

to shed its radiance on the ordinary

world outside.

When you embark on your trip, all

sorts of curious incidents will take

place. This is a place to learn about

yourself, your interests, your emotions

and about what is real for you.

Above all it is a place to learn how

to learn, not to be taught, but to face

different stages of education. You

are free to do it any way you wish. It

is for everyone of all backgrounds.

The chief aim of freedom is to provide

both the opportunity and the

inducement to insure the maximum

use of knowledge that an individual

can acquire.The digital process implied

3D modelling, texturing, staging,

rendering, filming and sound

mixing. The result is a video in two

parts, first is the visit to the school

and the second part reveals behind

the scenes and more about the concept.

The poem and the text in the

videos were written for the project. I

hope you enjoy.
