OMNIBUS is an urban design and research practice created in 2009 by Noboru Kawagishi and Charlotte Malterre-Barthes, two architects and urban designers graduated with a Master of Advanced Studies from ETH (Swiss Institute of Technology) in Zurich.
OMNIBUS is a trans-disciplinary structure, meant to be at crossroads of media, art, politics, illustration, landscape, architecture and urban design. OMNIBUS believes that architecture must open up towards other disciplines and should be political and controversial whenever needed.
OMNIBUS is engaged in several research projects, lately launching the research on ‘Other Urbanizations<\/a>‘ that investigates the relationship between various political economies and urban forms in European cities (Berlin<\/a>, Marseille<\/a>, Z\u00fcrich<\/a> among others) and an ongoing, decade-long research and teaching practice on urban development in Asia (Singapore<\/a>, Japan<\/a>, China<\/a>, etc).<\/p>\n

Many of their works have been published in books, journals, magazines or online such as the essay on the \u2018Future of Allotment gardens\u2019\u00a0 in Trans<\/a> or ‘Prostitution, migration, urban space’ in MAS Context<\/a> and Camenzind<\/a>. ‘Hardbrucke: The Shadow of the City’ has been published in the book ‘Infrastructural Urbanism<\/a>‘. The research on Skopje<\/a> has been published in San Rocco,\u00a0<\/a>Clog<\/a>. Other works have been featured in Horizonte,<\/a> Offramp, and many others.<\/p>\n

OMNIBUS lectured and taught workshops in several occasions, such as at the UIA<\/a> in Tokyo, with the Faculty of Architecture in Skopje<\/a>, the University of Seville<\/a>, and the ETH<\/a>.<\/p>\n
