Professor Othenin-Girard, Guillaume Lawrence
Guillaume Othenin-Girard holds a Master’s Degree in architecture from ETH Zurich where, since 2015, he has taught design and construction in the Chair of Prof. Tom Emerson, as well as leading the design-and-build research project Archaeology of the Territory in collaboration with PUCP Lima in Peru. He was a studio director in the first year program of the School of Architecture at EPF Lausanne and a member of ALICE design research team and EPFL+ECAL Lab. He is the author of Go Field and Towers (Amarillo Press, 2017), an approach to teaching and architecture centred around the body’s experience of space and articulated through a direct manual relationship with drawing and building. He co-founded the independent teaching unit Re:public, a pedagogical programme that calls for a renewal of the way architects regard and transform the city. His work has been exhibited at the Venice Architecture Biennale (2012) and Artgeneva (2016, 2017) and Art Basel (2018). Guillaume is a founding member of TEN, a design research studio based in Zurich, winner of the Swiss Art Award for Architecture in 2018.
