We all live in different Switzerlands. What part does architecture play in this complexity? How does architecture interpret this multi-culturalist and stratification? Through the e-periodica platform, Swiss journals online, the course aims to explore the Swiss media environment and to understand how it has instigated different ideas of architecture, cities, landscapes, and interiors that are also differently applied to national ideas of Swissness. Through research on the Swiss journals platform - like testing concepts, events or places - students will present finds that will be discussed collectively.
