Making architecture : projects from the first year course / Andrea Deplazes (ed.) ; [translation from German : Lisa Rosenblatt]. - 255 pages : chiefly illustrations ; 14 x 21 cm

A collection of ca. 2400 student projects created during 1997-2007 for the first year course in architecture at the Institute for the History and Theory of Architecture, Faculty of Architecture, ETH Zurich. Translated from the German.

"Catching the very first instant of nascent space, Making Architecture shows how young architects educated at the ETH Zurich develop a relationship to the substance of architecture; how they unfold this relationship gracefully, concentrating on the embedded, inherent filigree or massive potential contained in materials. The publication unveils creations without scale, fragile architectures and subtle objects; reopening a field thought to be thoroughly explored."--P. 4 of cover.
