From Canteen to Pasture
Workshop, June 2023
Architecture Department ETH Zurich with the participation of the Chair Caruso and Roots & friends (Even GmbH)
Institutional canteens in the field of education are used in peek times for only a few hours a day. Their usage falls short of their potential capacity despite the important role that canteens play in fostering a sense of community and connection.
We see a chance for students to engage more intensively with these spaces as users as well as workers, “behind the scenes and on stage”.
Emilie Appercé (D-ARCH), Leo Bettini Oberkalmsteiner (D-ARCH) together with Frédéric Brunner (Roots) and Billie Hauser (Roots) with the architect Adam Caruso, the architects Blanka Major, Severin Jann, Valentin Rib and the Museum für Gestaltung Zürich

The Author Speaks (WWA)
The Author Speaks (WWA)
The Author Speaks (T-A-S) is a short interview where we find out a little about the approach and inspirations of different female producers of text, focussing each time on one of their works.
Our circle of guests extends globally to women that in some way or another, engage with an idea of architecture. Mindy Seu, writer of the Cyberfeminism Index inaugurated the new format.
T-A-S follows A Book I Love (A-B-I-L), the first series of podcast by WWA.
The episodes can be listened to on Spotify
