ETH - Zürich. Da formação à produção arquitectónica

Abstract

With the architecture department of the Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule Zürich (ETH-Z) as a study case, this dissertation is developed over the relation between teaching and architectonic production. The thesis is structured around two important figures for the definition of the school's identity - Bernhard Hoesli, who introduces his Grundkurs in 1958, and Aldo Rossi, who had some individual experiences in the seventies. The analysed period ends with Rossi's legacy at the school, through Analoge Architektur. After the analysis of the different pedagogic approaches, a comparison is made between this pedagogies and connections are defined with the aspects from the Swiss architecture that they influenced. The study is supported by bibliographic bases, archive material from the Institut für Geschichte und Theorie der Architektur - gta, in Zurich, and reports from important interveners from the time. After the study case analysis, it becomes clear how Hoesli introduces an architectonic movement external to the school in his teaching - the Modern Movement, and how Rossi's influence leads to the development of an ideology inside the school - the Analoge Architektur, which influenced the Swiss architecture panorama.
