The MAS ETH GTA imparts critical scholarly skills for the in-depth study of architecture and the city.

MAS ETH GTA students present key insights from their research with the history and contemporary aspects around redevelopment of housing in Beijing, Corbeil-Essonnes, Hamburg, Minneapolis, Porto and Turin as input for a discussion with experts and the audience. The event is a part of the exhibition Densification or Displacement? At external page ZAZ BELLERIVE Zentrum Architektur Zürich (through April 23, 2023).

The MAS programme of the Institute for History and Theory of Architecture (gta) at ETH Zurich addresses issues of Baukultur by engaging with the histories of architecture, urbanism and science. The programme enables students to articulate their own research questions and to pursue these with academic rigor. This two-year, part-time programme enriches students’ professional practice and expands it into the fields of research, teaching, and cultural production.
