Dornbracht Research Unit ETH Zuerich
Project within the Passagen 2005, KAP Forum, Cologne, Germany
The beginning of the 2003/2004 winter semester saw the start of the research project “Ritual architecture in the bathroom” by the Dornbracht Research Unit ETH Zurich. The Research Unit is an innovative co-operation between industry and university research.
The aim of the collaboration, which was initiated by Dornbracht, is to develop a discourse on the subject of ritual architecture on the international architecture scene and to achieve the architecturisation of the term ritual. The bathroom is re-interpreted as an architectural subject.
Dornbracht stipulates the ultimate subject of “Ritual architecture”, and has no influence over the content of the process or its results. A team of between six and eight students from the ETH Zurich will work on the subject in three stages throughout the whole semester. (Dornbracht)
