Final Booklet: Anastasia Lizardou
“The Master of Advanced Studies in Collective Housing (MCH) is a
postgraduate full-time international professional program of architec-
ture and design in cities and housing presented by Universidad Politécni-
ca de Madrid (UPM) and ETH Zurich. After 14 editions, it is rated as one
of the best architecture master’s programs.
The program consists of 600 hours (60 ECTS). Participants will develop
their design skills through an intensive series of seven one-week work-
shops and complete their knowledge in speciality modules, including
energy and sustainability; housing practice; construction and technolo-
gy; leadership, processes and entrepreneurship; urban design and city
sciences; low-cost and emergency housing; and sociology, economy
and politics. Each specialty is coordinated by a technical director who
lectures with a group of guest teachers and specialists from all over the
world.
MCH has also built a close relationship with great architects who are
regular workshop leaders, such as Dietmar Eberle, Anne Lacaton, An-
drea Deplazes, Anna Heringer, Hrvoje Njiriç, Alison Brooks, Juan Herre-
ros, Elli Mosayebi, Riken Yamamoto, Cino Zucchi, Jacob van Rijs, Alejan-
dro Aravena and Wiel Aret.
It is the interaction between teachers and participants that generates
the greatest results and production each year.”

WHAT MAKES GOOD CONDITIONS OF LIVING?
WHAT MAKES GOOD CONDITIONS OF LIVING?
Syllabus
The workshop topic will emphasize on the optimal conditions to live in
the city, in a public space, in the neighborhood, in collective space,
with the close community, in the individual space. The city should
provide exceptional quality of life by offering a large range of facili-
ties, proximities, and pleasures, as well as a large variety of typologies
to fit with different needs, expectations and ways of life.
The question is opened to a very large concept of housing, which is
not specially responding to a “market product”, intended for a tradi-
tional middle-class family, but, beyond, rethink the principles of the
space for living and how housing is designed: how to create good
living conditions -architecturally, spatially, technically, sustainably,
etc.- such that, a very large and varied number of people could find
a space for living that they could appropriate of.

DOMESTIC FRAGMENTS
Syllabus
The point of departure for each design will be a specific concep-
tion of dwelling. The social relevance of this conception is of se-
condary importance. At the fore lies its spatial and architectural
potential. In its concrete formulation, the idea might even cha-
llenge the notion of ‘individual dwellings’. Buildings for collective
living are also conceivable, in which such a distinction becomes
irrelevant. Just as possible is the idea that these buildings do not
solely serve as spaces for dwelling (whereby the immediate ques-
tion would be what exactly is meant by ‘dwelling’), but also incor-
porating working, contemplation, or other activities. The sole pre-
requisite is that the apartment can belived in by several people
living independently of one another.
Besides the specific conception of dwelling, a proposition of a parti-
cular architectural element can serve as a generative impulse for the
design; an element that stands in a definite relationship to the formu-
lated intention, or independent to it providing an additional archi-
tectural point of departure. Such elements are to be more broadly
understood than simply constructive elements such as structural ele-
ments, windows, doors, stairs, fireplaces, etc., but also might include
secondary and mobile components such as the elements of kitchens
and bathrooms, or beds, tables, curtains etc.
Ultimately it is also conceivable to take such an element as the
primary origin of the project, i.e. to develop the dwelling on
the basis of an architectural element or a piece of furniture.
Can you imagine an inhabited staircase? How would you de-
sign a floor plan based on a chimney? Can the placement of
columns define a dwelling space? How would a dwelling look
that primarily serves sleeping, and in which the bed is at the
centre? Who would inhabit such spaces?

ORDINARINESS AND LIFE
Syllabus
The task is focused on low-cost housing, on affordable and innovative
solutions to the basic need for a small-sized housing within a specific
Mediterranean context of the city of Split in Croatia. Sometimes we
face the task to design and situate a dwelling or a group of dwellings
into a predefined contour. Reasons for this can be quite diversified –
be it an existing structure that has to be converted into apartments or
a complicated geometry of a lot, articulated in such a way to meet
urban requirements.
In this particular case the complex outline is topped with a legalized
house in the middle of the designated plot and a road that runs dia-
gonally across the site. The workshop is designed to challenge and
seek creativity with ideas and concepts in architectural design of co-
llective living spaces. It aims to promote well-tempered solutions to
housing, coming up with affordable and sustainable units with limited
size and budget to meet demands in housing market even on a such
a troubled location as Kila. The assignment gives an opportunity to
think about social, cultural and environmental effects in sustainable
design within defined parameters.

Syllabus
It is likely that the Spanish “corridor house” model evolved as a synthesis
of the traditional Castilian noble house (heir to the Roman domus, with
the courtyard as the axis of the building and a structure of wooden bays
on its outer perimeter) and the Andalusian Parapet that will provide the
future corrala with the model of coexistence, without planning or infras-
tructure, sometimes forming dead ends that created a social space that
will later be repeated in the Hispanic corral.*
The history of the city is also the history of collective housing.
...In the 21st century, these archetypes are evolving to respond to both the
established urban conditions of the historic city and to the requirement for
increasing urban density. The climate crisis also demands that we re-think the
modernist housing paradigm that responded to growing urban populations
with large scale social housing projects on green field sites. Those perceived
utopias segregated new communities from their places of work and leisure
resulting in sterile ‘dormitory’ neighbourhoods.
In this Workshop we will prove the sustainable city is a diverse city - socially,
economically, architecturally and ecologically. We will re-conceive urban
housing a place of production, creativity and work, a necessary and resur-
gent cultural condition... In the historic/contemporary European city, as ex-
emplified by Madrid, housing must be designed to serve as a platform for
sustainable collective life, to enables creative communities to flourish.
LA CORRALA FUTURA
LA CORRALA FUTURA
It is our mission to design spaces that meet the needs of the users, work-
ing diligently and creatively in order to produce not only houses, but
homes for living, spaces to inspire and to enjoy.
We aim to create collective housing that captures the soul of traditional
corralas– lively corridors, communal spaces, and a sense of belonging to
the 21st century.
As we enter this new post-pandemic era, we aim to create a hybrid envi-
ronment for artists to live, work, and play. We aim to provide these artists
with the necessary space and atmosphere to create and freely explore
new mediums.
Our goal is to respect the current operation within the plot, and to en-
hance these programs and activities through architectural
planning.
We design with intention, to understand the constraints each site has,
and its geographic, historical, as well as cultural background while re-
specting the neighboring properties.

01 Climate Metabolism and Architecture
Syllabus
The module CLIMATIC TYPOLOGIES. BODY, CLIMATE, AR-
CHITECTURE explores the design opportunities which the
field of thermodynamics and ecology are opening to
architecture, and specifically to the field of
collective housing.
The module focuses on climatic questions and on the
metabolic dimension of architecture, with the objec-
tive of finding design strategies which bridge the void
between quantitative and qualitative approaches.
As a result special attention will be given to questions
which in rare occasions are addressed in mainstream
sustainability courses. The workshop will immerse in the
quotidian implications of sustainability, connecting
everyday life to architecture, which introduces to the
specialty the ethnological dimension of architecture.
This question opens the experiential realm, introdu-
cing the human body in its physiological and psycho-
logical dimensions to architecture.
Under this perspective, the history of architecture —
which offers a rich variety of climatic and metabolic re-
ferences— will be a powerful design tool.
The module is formed by a seminar and a workshop. The
idea of integrating seminar and workshop is to introdu-
ce a series theoretical concepts and, simultaneously,
to learn how to nest them in the design process, thus
reinforcing the practical-theoretical approach of this
module. This approach, which mediates between the
technical and cultural aspects of architecture, focu-
ses on developing informed design strategies and on
its implementation on real practice.

03 Construction & Technology
Syllabus
The aim of this course is to analyse the building as a physi-
cal system within the technical and integration systems in
the design process. The theory is focused on the descrip-
tion of the main solutions given by architects in their most
relevant buildings and the analysis of the different techni-
cal systems that make up the building.
Highly experienced professionals in housing construction
and design will transmit their experience and knowledge
in these fields.

    Workshop leader Hrvoje Njiriç WorkshopAssistant Esperanza Campaña Students Anastasia Lizardou Androniki Faidra Petrou Andrew George Fellipe Santamaria Francisco Heredia ORDINARINESS AND LIFE Syllabus The task is focused on low-cost housing, on affordable and innovative solutions to the basic need for a small-sized housing within a specific Mediterranean context of the city of Split in Croatia. Sometimes we face the task to design and situate a dwelling or a group of dwellings into a predefined contour. Reasons for this can be quite diversified – be it an existing structure that has to be converted into apartments or a complicated geometry of a lot, articulated in such a way to meet urban requirements. In this particular case the complex outline is topped with a legalized house in the middle of the designated plot and a road that runs dia- gonally across the site. The workshop is designed to challenge and seek creativity with ideas and concepts in architectural design of co- llective living spaces. It aims to promote well-tempered solutions to housing, coming up with affordable and sustainable units with limited size and budget to meet demands in housing market even on a such a troubled location as Kila. The assignment gives an opportunity to think about social, cultural and environmental effects in sustainable design within defined parameters. ORDINARINESS AND LIFE

    Workshop leader Alison Brooks WorkshopAssistan Alejandro de Miguel Students Anastasia Lizardou Isabella Pineda Paloma Allende Sebastian Worm Syllabus It is likely that the Spanish “corridor house” model evolved as a synthesis of the traditional Castilian noble house (heir to the Roman domus, with the courtyard as the axis of the building and a structure of wooden bays on its outer perimeter) and the Andalusian Parapet that will provide the future corrala with the model of coexistence, without planning or infras- tructure, sometimes forming dead ends that created a social space that will later be repeated in the Hispanic corral.* The history of the city is also the history of collective housing. ...In the 21st century, these archetypes are evolving to respond to both the established urban conditions of the historic city and to the requirement for increasing urban density. The climate crisis also demands that we re-think the modernist housing paradigm that responded to growing urban populations with large scale social housing projects on green field sites. Those perceived utopias segregated new communities from their places of work and leisure resulting in sterile ‘dormitory’ neighbourhoods. In this Workshop we will prove the sustainable city is a diverse city - socially, economically, architecturally and ecologically. We will re-conceive urban housing a place of production, creativity and work, a necessary and resur- gent cultural condition... In the historic/contemporary European city, as ex- emplified by Madrid, housing must be designed to serve as a platform for sustainable collective life, to enables creative communities to flourish.

    It is ourmission to design spaces that meet the needs of the users, work- ing diligently and creatively in order to produce not only houses, but homes for living, spaces to inspire and to enjoy. We aim to create collective housing that captures the soul of traditional corralas– lively corridors, communal spaces, and a sense of belonging to the 21st century. As we enter this new post-pandemic era, we aim to create a hybrid envi- ronment for artists to live, work, and play. We aim to provide these artists with the necessary space and atmosphere to create and freely explore new mediums. Our goal is to respect the current operation within the plot, and to en- hance these programs and activities through architectural planning. We design with intention, to understand the constraints each site has, and its geographic, historical, as well as cultural background while re- specting the neighboring properties.

    Specialty leader Javier Garcίa-Germάn Guests SilviaBenedito Daniel Ibañez Renaud Haerlinger Jaume Mayol Sascha Roesler Students Anastasia Lizardou Flavia Fernades Ishan Goyal Joaquin Ipince Karol DIaz 01 Climate Metabolism and Architecture Syllabus The module CLIMATIC TYPOLOGIES. BODY, CLIMATE, AR- CHITECTURE explores the design opportunities which the field of thermodynamics and ecology are opening to architecture, and specifically to the field of collective housing. The module focuses on climatic questions and on the metabolic dimension of architecture, with the objec- tive of finding design strategies which bridge the void between quantitative and qualitative approaches. As a result special attention will be given to questions which in rare occasions are addressed in mainstream sustainability courses. The workshop will immerse in the quotidian implications of sustainability, connecting everyday life to architecture, which introduces to the specialty the ethnological dimension of architecture. This question opens the experiential realm, introdu- cing the human body in its physiological and psycho- logical dimensions to architecture. Under this perspective, the history of architecture — which offers a rich variety of climatic and metabolic re- ferences— will be a powerful design tool. The module is formed by a seminar and a workshop. The idea of integrating seminar and workshop is to introdu- ce a series theoretical concepts and, simultaneously, to learn how to nest them in the design process, thus reinforcing the practical-theoretical approach of this module. This approach, which mediates between the technical and cultural aspects of architecture, focu- ses on developing informed design strategies and on its implementation on real practice.
