Call for applications: 28 February to 31 May 2022 | ETH Z\u00fcrich<\/a>\u00a0D-ARCH LUS and\u00a0EPFL<\/a>\u00a0ENAC HRC joint programme.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Master of Advanced Studies in Urban and Territorial Design<\/a> is a new, one-year, full-time postgraduate programme, receiving it\u2019s second cohort of participants in autumn 2022. It is taught in English and held at the two Swiss schools, EPFL (Autumn) and ETH Z\u00fcrich (Spring). The participants receive a 60 ECTS joint degree, the \u00abMAS ETH EPFL UTD I.\u00bb<\/p>\n

The Territorial Project for Social and Ecological Change<\/h4>\n

Urban and territorial design has acquired a new meaning and urgency. From drivers of progress to the source of planetary hazards, the impacts of cities and wider urbanisation processes are being recast in the public sphere. The critical examination of anthropocentric world views,\u00a0the greening of politics and economies, growing social movements, and climate activism are reflected in urban and territorial space, highlighting power asymmetries and fuelling the exploration of alternatives. The future of the urban engages social and environmental imaginaries, which now extend beyond-the-city and beyond-the-human. Rather than an object, the territory becomes a subject among other subjects, and space becomes an agent of socioecological change. In this context, urban and territorial design serves as a crucial field of synthesis, inspiring and negotiating change in science, practice and governance. The design of the territorial project is understood as a possibility to explore common epistemic horizons and new biopolitical paradigms.<\/p>\n

The MAS programme embraces such a transition as a field of critical and imaginative investigation. Engaging with notions of transformation, reuse, regeneration, reparation, and transition of habitats and ecologies, the MAS will deploy the urban and territorial project as the crucial field of knowledge production across scales.<\/p>\n

The new joint Master of Advanced Studies at the ETH Z\u00fcrich and EPFL builds an innovative urban and territorial design education addressing social and environmental challenges both within the city-territory and across wider landscapes.<\/p>\n

Design and research studios form the core of the programme. Design is explored as a tool for synthesis in an expanded field of inter- and transdisciplinary exchange. The curriculum therefore extends beyond the traditional scope of urban design teaching, to include both emerging developments in urban theory and a deeper understanding of the cultural and ecological dimensions of territories. Scientific research on planetary urbanisation, postcolonial thought and the Anthropocene will be engaged in relation to urban design, landscape architecture, urban and landscape ecology, in particular agroecology, sustainable construction, and low carbon mobility.<\/p>\n

The MAS serves as a laboratory and a forum where we propose agendas, design strategies and governance models for concrete territories. Both Swiss and international case studies are investigated through intensive, ethnographic explorations and in situ workshops. The programme engages in dialogue with supporting communities, local actors, NGOs and governance bodies.<\/p>\n

The MAS in Urban and Territorial Design requires one year of full-time postgraduate study for a 60 ECTS joint degree, the \u00abMAS ETH EPF UTD\u00bb. It is taught in English and held at the two Swiss schools, EPFL (Autumn) and ETH Zurich (Spring).<\/p>\n
