    Nexus Network Journal
    The Advances in Architectural Geometry (AAG) symposia serve as a unique forum where developments in the design, analysis and fabrication of building geometry are presented. With participation of both academics and professionals from the fields of architecture, engineering, computer science and mathematics, each symposium aims to gather and present practical work and theoretical research that responds to contemporary design challenges and expands opportunities for architectural form. This report summarizes the AAG2016, the fifth edition of the symposia hosted by the Swiss National Centre of Competence in Research (NCCR) Digital Fabrication at ETH Zurich from 9 to 13 September 2016.

    Construction Matters. Proceedings of the 8th International Congress on Construction History
    From the 1950s onwards, architecture and construction processes have witnessed a rapid succession of paradigm shifts. The need for the fast-paced production of housing and infrastructure in Europe as a result of the exponential economic and population growth in the post-war period was replaced by the 1970s, following the energy crisis by efforts towards the efficient use of materials and the emergence of sustainability as a concept. The advent of computers and computational design and fabrication in the 1980s and 1990s led to divergent tendencies ranging from increased standardization in construction to bespoke design and manufacturing. Today, the climate crisis and scarcity of resources challenge us to explore new and efficient materials and construction methods which focus not only on building anew but also on enabling the repair and reuse of existing building stock. This 8ICCH thematic session sheds light on the developments of this diverse and highly innovative period, the examples of which are now rapidly being altered or disappearing, making research by the discipline of construction history all the more relevant. The insights offer critical clues to addressing today’s challenges in construction, including energy and resource scarcity, as many issues addressed by the technologies and processes remain highly relevant today. The contributions to the thematic session explore not only the different design and planning tools, construction methods, and the ever-increasing number of actors involved in their development and realization, but also the ideas and factors that led to their emergence and their impact and legacy on architecture today.

    Heritage and Democracy
    Aside from the preservation of objects that already have protected status, one of the core tasks of monument preservation is the selection and inventory of future objects. This is also reflected in the teaching of monument preservation to architecture students at ETH Zurich. In addition to the methods of institutional monument preservation, students participating in the “Future Monuments” course investigate potential objects for preservation and register them in a database in the form of an inventory entry. The result is an extensive collection of over a thousand entries on recent (1980–2000) and very recent (post- 2000) buildings in Switzerland, providing information not only on the objects themselves but also on the selection and evaluation criteria. This collection also provides valuable insights into the perceptions and values of the „Z“ and „Alpha“ generations, who make up the largest group of course participants to date. In the spring semester 2024, under the title “Future Heritage”, the course shifted its focus to identifying objects and inheritance of minorities, marginalised groups, and people without a lobby. The seminar was also conceived as an important part of the outreach and exhibition project “A Future for whose Past?” that was initiated by ICOMOS Suisse and ETH Zurich to mark the 50th anniversary of the first European Architectural Heritage Year. The collective knowledge of the diverse group of 137 students was used as a democratic basis for the joint discussion of an inclusive inventory that also takes into account protected objects for the queer community, persons with migration background, and homeless people, among others. In doing so, they drew on politically established inventories at the federal, cantonal, and municipal levels in Switzerland and questioned the selection criteria currently applied, always starting from the object under discussion, and attempted to expand them appropriately.
