DESCRIPTION:Christian Weyell and Kai Zipse\nWEYELL ZIPSE ARCHITEKTEN \nCOM
 E IN! GUGGACH PRIMARY SCHOOL IN ZURICH\n\nThe Guggach Primary School exper
 iments with transformative spatial qualities: its iconic central foyer is 
 designed as an intermediate climate zone that adapts to the changing seaso
 ns. Open in summer and enclosed in winter its climate is regulated through
  manually operated sliding gates and a greenhouse roof. The foyer's three-
 storey atrium offers open\, flexible spaces with a fluid perception\, whos
 e use can be continuously re-defined. The lecture will focus on the questi
 on of how this space fosters the creation of community within the school a
 nd the surrounding neighborhood.\n\nThis lecture is part of the School Lec
 ture Series\n\nCOMMUNITY VOL.1 \nSeven exemplary projects and case studies
 \n\nCommunity is an ambivalent concept. It involves both gathering through
  shared customs and exclusion. Some claim that inclusive communities do no
 t exist. Recent history shows people more often unite through exclusion th
 an inclusion. However\, communities are not sealed. Philosopher Roberto Es
 posito explains that community 'is not a property or territory to defend b
 ut a void\, a debt\, and a gift to others\, reminding us of our otherness.
 \n\nThis lecture series explores the topic of community through architectu
 re. How does architecture explore\, define\, or enable communities? Can ar
 chitects collaborate directly with communities\, bypassing institutional e
 ntities? How can design convey a collective experience? Seven emerging and
  established architectural figures respond to these questions through thei
 r work\, which spans film\, exhibitions\, and communitarian buildings.\n\n
