[ETH Diversity] Professor of Architecture and Adaptive Re-use

[Holzach Alexander (PRS)]

Professor of Architecture and Adaptive Re-use

 

The Department of Architecture (www.arch.ethz.ch <http://www.arch.ethz.ch> )
at ETH Zurich invites applications for the above-mentioned position. The
professorship is located at the Institute of Design and Architecture IEA
(www.iea.arch.ethz.ch <http://www.iea.arch.ethz.ch> ).

 

The new professor is mainly responsible for teaching a design studio and
giving lectures for students in the Bachelor’s and/or Master’s degree
programme in Architecture (including master thesis) and will teach
theoretical foundations, methodological skills and specialized knowledge in
the field of adaptive re-use. She/he should emphasise one of the following
focal points: i) Structure and construction with focus on the role of
construction and structural transformation in adaptive re-use, including the
potential of future change in new built structures and the exploration of
digital tools and processes. ii) Urban typologies with focus on the impact
of societal change and urban transformation on adaptive re-use, including
the potential of existing buildings for the development of new spatial
configurations and urban typologies. Contemporary digital design and
production techniques are, in general, an integral part of the sustainable
architectural debate. 

 

The new professor is expected to propose and develop a state-of-the-art
research agenda. The focus is on the investigation and development of
relevant topics that contribute to the advancement of architecture as a
discipline, in mutual interaction between theory and practice. She/he will
cooperate with professorships among the Department of Architecture and
across various ETH departments. Of particular importance is the
collaboration with the existing chairs at the Institute of Design and
Architecture. 

 

The successful candidate must have a substantial built œuvre and competence
in design and realization of high-quality buildings with a strong emphasis
on adaptive re-use. Her/his qualification includes a university degree,
accreditation by architects and usually experience, both in research and
teaching. Competence in leading a group and contribution to the development
of the Department of Architecture beyond the boundaries of the discipline
are expected. In general, at ETH Zurich courses are taught in German or
English. 

 

ETH Zurich is an equal opportunity and family-friendly employer, values
diversity, and is responsive to the needs of dual-career couples.
