Lecture Series «A House...»: TEN

Description

The lecture series «A House…» of the Institute of Architecture at FHNW is entering a new round. The focus of the four evenings is on different forms of collaboration, joint designing, and authorship.
On this evening, the collective TEN presents a residential building for five women in Bosnia. Between protected retreat, communal living, and social participation, the house translates a sensitive social fabric into architecture.
In the winter semester 2026, the lecture series «A House…» invites four different positions in architecture: an international collective from Zurich and Belgrade, an architecture firm founded by three women from Munich, a London duo working from Porto and Palma de Mallorca today, and an architecture firm from Zurich that collaborated with a local office in Algeria for a project.
Based on a specific building – in all four cases a residential house – the architects provide insights into their work and working methods. The shared designing is contrasted with shared living as a second perspective. From private homes to self-managed and cooperative housing to temporary social housing, the four houses presented give specific spatial forms to different social fabrics and the relationship between individual and community.
«A House…» is a lecture series in which buildings are comprehensively presented. This reveals the different perceptions of architects, clients, artists, users, and others who influence the appearance and fate of the buildings. The focus of the discussion varies; it ranges from urban planning principles to structural challenges, from historical references to social ambitions. Participants and additional information:
Aleksandra Bašić, Cyrill Wechsler, Fabian, Fabiana Frisullo, Jelena Perović, Joel Zimmerli, Luka Piškorec, Lukas Burkhart, Nemanja Zimonjić, Nicolas Rothenbühler, Ognjen Krašna, Scott Lloyd, Tijana Mačkić (TEN)
