PHYS-468: Physics of lifeLife has emerged on our planet from physical principles such as molecular self-organization, thermodynamics, stochastics and iterative refinement. This course will introduce the physical methods to study life and will discuss the quantitative and physical ...
ENG-466: Distributed intelligent systemsThe goal of this course is to provide methods and tools for modeling distributed intelligent systems as well as designing
and optimizing coordination strategies. The course is a well-balanced mixture of theory and practical activities. ...
AR-301(n): Studio BA5 (Lapierre)Des communautés shakers aux USA à la question du logement à Bâle, le semestre interroge l'habitat comme lieu intime et collectif, en explorant la transformation des espaces de travail en nouveaux lieux de partage. ...
AR-302(ah): Studio BA6 (Malterre-Barthes)How is architecture made? 'Revolutionize Construction' unpacks the political economy of construction, examining who commissions, finances, and builds, and interrogating architects' roles. It explores how these systems might be revolutionized to enable the ...

MSE-425: Soft matterThe first part of the course is devoted to the self-assembly of molecules. In the second part we discuss basic physical chemical principles of polymers in solutions, at interfaces, and in bulk. Finally, we look at colloids and emulsions. ...
CH-424: Supramolecular chemistryThe course provides an introduction to supramolecular chemistry. In addition, current trends are discussed using recent publications in this area. ...
AR-302(an): Studio BA6 (Truwant et Rodet)Together, we will continue our exploration of the theme of water by building a set of fountains that we will later attempt to integrate into a domestic project for the port of Basel. The focus will be on the transformation or reuse of existing resources in ...
AR-301(q): Studio BA5 (Voser)Le studio poursuit une recherche pour développer des projets innovants pour une Suisse prête à réagir aux défis territoriaux contemporains. Projeter des paysages demande d'osciller entre les échelles territoriales et humaines et de développer des concepts ...
AR-301(d): Studio BA5 (Fröhlich M. & A.)"Tackle the type" deals with processes of development and redesign of architectural typologies, and addresses the theme critically under todayâs contemporary condition. Based on the analysis of a specific building typology, independent projects are to be ...
PHYS-752: Lecture series on BiomimeticsThis course gives a comprehensive view of Biomimetics, with especial focus and hierarchical structure-function relationships. We explore the physical principles of bioinspired nanostructures and biomechanics, and their application to the design of creativ ...
