New directors:
We are pleased to announce the new directors of gta Exhibitions: Fredi Fischli and Niels Olsen. They will continue gta Exhibitions’ successful curatorial and communication work. gta Exhibitions has been part of the Institute of the History and Theory of Architecture (gta)—and hence the ETH Zürich Architecture Department—since 1975. Thanks to the efforts of Philippe Carrard, who ran it for over 25 years, gta has established itself as an influential institution for architecture exhibitions in Switzerland. The exhibition program will serve as an interface between theory and practice, showcasing research and teaching in the Architecture Department. Fischli and Olsen will seek to sharpen the profile of this division within the department and foster ongoing discussion of its functions and facets.

3pm: Roundtable on the subject of The Walk in art and architecture with Professor Dr. Philip Ursprung (ETH Zürich); Professor Armin Linke (HfG Karlsruhe); Professor Michael Clegg (HfG Karlsruhe); Lorenzo Romito (Stalker); and Giulia Fiocca (Stalker)
The Walk is both a study and the upshot of a long-term project at the interface between photography and architecture. The point of departure for this project was an excursion to Italy in October 2012, which brought together students from the Staatliche Hochschule für Gestaltung Karlsruhe (HfG, University of Arts and Design in Karlsruhe, Germany) and the ETH Zürich. Applying the principle that structures of public space can be laid bare by traversing an area on foot, the group walked across the outlying areas between Naples and Pompeii. As a reflection on and reaction to this walk, the students from ETH's Department of Architecture and HfG’s New Media Art & Photography Department put together an exhibition on the concept of a walk through the underground of Hönggerberg.
