Liechtenstein's housing market is characterized by strong momentum. Since 1980, the population has grown by more than 50 % to around 40,000 people. During the same period, however, the housing stock has more than doubled.
As the world grapples with the mounting challenges of climate change, resource extraction, and social inequalities, architecture is advancing as an academic discipline.
The carpentry trade is undergoing constant change. Digitalization and CNC-controlled joinery robots offer enormous potential for speed and accuracy in the creation of complex structures in timber construction.
As part of this year's "Maak Week", the two researchers from the Liechtenstein School of Architecture Livia Herle, MSc Arch, and Dipl.-Ing. Dr. sc. Wolfgang Schwarzmann were able to accompany and support the students from the University of Antwerp in their learning and working process.
The exhibition "Ewaste Last and Treasure" showed the invisible bond between Liechtenstein and Ghana, which changes living spaces, social spaces and social structures through actions in this country. Curated by Alberto Alessi, the exhibition by the Liechtenstein School of Architecture was shown at the 18th Venice Biennale last year and can be seen at the Küefer-Martis-Huus in Ruggell from Tuesday, April 16 until May 5.
In the summer semester of 2023, the lecturers Alberto Alessi and Anna Lohs of the Advanced Studio Upcycling worked with their students on a series of interventions in the partially disused and abandoned historic center of the village of Castè, in the municipality of Riccò del Golfo della Spezia.
At the University of Liechtenstein, we try to build bridges between the values of the past, cultural heritage and any necessary renewal, and between regional responsibility and global awareness. Our Institute of Architecture and Planning consider theoretical discourse and practice, up to a scale of 1:1, to be fundamental aspects of our training. We strive to create responsible architecture that offers comprehensive cultural sustainability.
Current publications of the institute can be found under the following link.
