SCHEIDEGGER KELLER
Studenthouse Rosengarten
The house with loggias and halls renders the street’s noise invisible, while
creating collective spaces at multiple scales.
Christian Scheidegger studied architecture at ETH Zurich from 1998 to 2004. In 2004 he was awarded the ETH Medal for the diploma thesis project «Leuk Congress Center» and received 2002 the Swiss Steel Construction Award (Schweizer Stahlbaupreis «Prix Acier») for the «Office Tower on the Jelmoli Parking Garage» in Zürich. From 2004 to 2009 he led the «Leutschenbach Schoolhouse» project in Zurich at the architecture firm of Christian Kerez. He then opened his own architectural office in Zürich. He has taught architecture and design at ETH Zürich and the EPF Lausanne as a lecturer, as a workshop leader at the Porto Academy and as an external expert at the Cooper Union, New York.
Jürg Keller studied architecture at ETH Zurich from 1997 to 2004. In 2010, he opened his own office, after leading the project «House with one Wall» in Zurich in the office of Christian Kerez from 2004 to 2006 and the «Residential Complex Grünwald (Ringling)» in Zurich in the office Schneider Studer Primas from 2006 to 2009. He has taught architecture and design as a design and diploma assistant at the ETH Zürich, as a lecturer at the EPF Lausanne, as a workshop leader at the Porto Academy and as an external expert at the Cooper Union, New York.
Atelier Scheidegger Keller was founded in 2009. The built work includes «House with two Columns» in Wilen (2009 2014), «House on a Slope 1» in Gordola (2011–2017), «Houses with Chambers and Paths» in Bern (2011–2018), «Studenthouse Rosengarten» (2014–2020), «House with a Dozen Views» (2018–2025) and «Quirky House» (2018–2024) in Zurich. Atelier Scheidegger Keller has received numerous awards for its projects. In 2015 the Bauwelt Award and in 2017 the Concrete Award (Architekturpreis Beton 17), both for «House with Two Columns»; in 2021 the Award for Good Buildings of the City of Zurich (Auszeichnung für gute Bauten der Stadt Zürich) for «Studenthouse Rosengarten»; and in 2021 the Atuprix – Bernese Building Culture Award (Auszeichnung Berner Baukultur) for «Houses with Chambers and Paths», among others. Atelier Scheidegger Keller’s work was published in the monograph «ATELIER
SCHEIDEGGER KELLER – WORKBOOK» in 2023.
This lecture is part of the School Lecture Series
COMMUNITY VOL.2
Seven exemplary projects and case studies
Community is an ambivalent concept. It involves both gathering through shared customs and exclusion. Some claim that inclusive communities do not exist. Recent history shows people more often unite through exclusion than inclusion. However, communities are not sealed. Philosopher Roberto Esposito explains that community ‘is not a property or territory to defend but a void, a debt, and a gift to others’, reminding us of our otherness.
This lecture series explores the topic of community through architecture. How does architecture explore, define, or enable communities? Can architects collaborate directly with communities, bypassing institutional entities? How can design convey a collective experience? Seven emerging and established architectural figures respond to these questions through their work, which spans film, exhibitions, and communitarian buildings.
