They were were able to realize this research with architecture students at the Department of Architecture of the ETH Zurich as research associates at the Chair of Architecture and Art.What is so special about this way of teaching is that they locate each project in a spatial and conceptual setting unrelated to the project itself. Together with the activity of the class, this setting constitutes the content of their teaching. The differentness of setting and activity challenges students, those present, and passers-by alike to rise above themselves, creating pivotal experiences that foster their own future artistic activity. Estermann and Mudrak favor a performative and holistic approach. 36 selected exercises illustrate this thesis by meaningful images and short descriptions in German and English.
