The Academy of Architecture offersan innovative, interdisciplinary, humanist and generalist educational and teachingmodel, suitable for our times. This has enabled the school to make a name for itself andplay a leading role in the international panorama of architecture schools. The Institute for the History and Theory of Art and Architecture (ISA), founded in2011, has a profile inspired by similar famous and long-established institutions, such asthe History Theory and Criticism of Architecture and Art (HTC) of the MIT in Boston orthe Institut für Geschichte und Theorie der Architektur (gta) of the Zurich Polytechnic,which are still operating successfully after decades of activity.The various disciplines presented by the ISA – including the history of art andarchitecture, philosophy, political thought, the visual and performing arts of the 20th and21st centuries, to name only a few such fields – are intended to develop and implementconcepts and instruments to enhance the understanding of the physical, historical andsocial contexts of artistic and architectural practices.Considering the geographical position of the Academy, at the crossroads betweennorthern and southern Europe, particular attention is paid to the influence of theMediterranean on the artistic and architectural cultures of Europe through the ages and,increasingly, in the rest of the world.

PZ00P1_216182) ofthe Swiss National Fund) directed by Dr. Will Davis from 1. September 2024 (100% fouryears). The Research Project Plantation histories of tropical Southeast Asia are symbolic examples of resourceextraction and asymmetric labor conditions. Architecture mediated and scripted thisphenomenon in distinctive ways. Plants were simultaneously crops, cargo, and buildingmaterials, giving them a centrality to the process of resource extraction, and presentingan underexplored architectural archive. The project investigates the history of nineteenthcentury plantation culture in Southeast Asia and Europe through the lens of architecture,specifically, looking at the routes that plant species took between these geographies. Astraded items and building materials, plants provide a unique way to understand thesebuilt environments and trade passages through an ecological framework. It begins withthree points of departure, investigating first how plantation cultures and Indigenouslifeways in the tropics entangled with architecture in the metropole; conceptually,stylistically, and intrinsically. Second, it considers the selfconception of Swiss plantersand their architectures both in Switzerland and Sumatra, who occupied an unusualposition compared to Dutch or British counterparts. Third, the project considers the waysthat the plantation, its laborers and their lifeways, become entangled with metropolitanlife in Europe. As an architectural history of the plantation system, the project draws on adiverse range of materials to support the research, visiting archives and sites initially inSumatra, Switzerland, and wider Europe.
