Workshop at Rote Fabrik Zurich, June 05 - 12, 2008
In a week-long interdisciplinary workshop around the kick-off of the Euro 08, we have questioned the urban impact of the football tournament in Zurich: What changes can be observed during the Euro 08? How does the city represent itself as the stage of the event? How is advertisement displayed on the city’s surfaces? How does the logic of security strategies affect urban space? How are zones and boundaries negotiated? What kind of spontaneous and informal structures emerge apart from the official events? And can these observations be read as symptoms of recent tendencies in urban development?
Architects, artists and urban researchers, along with students from different fields and universities, have investigated the concrete urban impacts of the event in Zurich and composed a collective cartography of the transient occasion.
Participants: Stefanie Baasch, Fabio Don, David Eugster, Flo Gantenbein, Katja Gretzinger, Mira Habermann, Anke Hagemann, Naomi Hanakata, Eva Hertzsch, Fabian Hesse, Gregor Huber, Martin Jann, Anna Joss, Anita Kaspar, Miéko Levy-Kobayashi, Piet Nieder, Adam Page, Tim Rieniets, Domenico Rocca, Olaf Schroth, Katja Schwaller, Stephanie Seidel, Franziska Singer, Moni Streule, Fabian Voegeli, Rochus Wiedemer
