Deep-dive into complexityField design trip to emerging Living Systems Labs in Norway This CAS is the second out of a series of three CAS, leading to the MAS Master of Advanced Studies ETH in Regenerative Systems. The CAS’ build upon each other but can be taken in isolation and in different order. Each CAS’ theoretical and language base is the respective MOOC#1-3. In this CAS, we deep-dive into complexity and develop a critical understanding of systems. We learn what systems … Read More

So we took off!

Venice, why to go there? It is for sure known to be a fascinating live museum of medieval architecture and art. Venice is the lagoon, and the lagoon is Venice. A sensitive, threatened wetland ecosystem. Venice’s backyard is less known, but … Read More
