What is the architecture school at ETH, Zurich like?

Question

I'm planning on doing a student exchange from Brisbane, Australia, and am also thinking about working there for a few months after that; or where else in Europe is recommendable to work?

Answer 1

I don't know too much about the architecture school there, except for thier 2 head professors that run first year design.  One of them, Dirk Hebel, was a guest professor at my school and I had him for one semester of design.  I loved him, he's extremely passionate about what he does, and he's had many major accomplishments in the architectural world (just google his name, he's done some pretty cool stuff).  I really learned a lot from him. He also brought in Jorg Stollman, his partner from his firm and the other head professor in Zurich, for a couple reviews, he was really great as well.  I don't know too much about the school itself except that it is one of the more competitive schools in Switzerland (although its generally hard for non-Swiss citizens to get into any Swiss schools), but I would reccommend it just based off of those 2 professors, they are that good.
