Architekturlehre Hans Kollhoff II, Teaching at the ETH Zurich since 2001

Published by Niggli Verlag, 2012

During his teaching activities from 1987 to 2012 at the University of Technology (ETH) in Zurich, Professor Hans Kollhoff influenced a generation of architecture students. The second volume of "Architekturlehre" presents the results of his teaching and research since 2001 and together with the first book creates a comprehensive overview of the work of the chair.

While Hans Kollhoff was interested in terms such as scenario and strategy in the early years at ETH Zurich, the focus shifted to fundamental architectural issues that the students were able to approach morphologically. In addition to the tectonic structure of a body, criteria such as posture or expression and finally the anthropomorphic gain in importance in his teaching. An essay by Patrick Chladek puts the approach of the professorship in an overarching context.
