Built Heritage & Upcycling
←
The "Built Heritage & Upcycling" unit examines the material and immaterial resources of our built environment as well as strategies for their preservation, reuse and transfer to a circular economy.
Our work centres on the formulation of a moral question as an architectural and economic question, one that considers the architectural potential of preservation strategies and the sustainability of circular principles. → more

UPCYCLING
Reuse and Recycling as a Design Principle in Architecture
In Liechtenstein, the construction industry is the main driver of material consumption and is responsible for no less than 65 percent of all waste. A rethink is therefore urgently needed. But how can we achieve architecture that is as waste- and pollutant-free as possible? And could the Principality's building stock be of use here?
The Liechtenstein School of Architecture of the University of Liechtenstein responded to this question with the book "Upcycling. Re-use and Reuse as a Design Principle in Architecture". The publication is based on two symposia of the same name, which took place in 2018 and 2019, and also includes student contributions, which were supervised by Daniel Stockhammer and Dieter Jüngling. The authors are Alberto Alessi, Barbara Buser, Jürg Conzett, Elisabteh Crettaz-Stürzel, Anja Diener, Philipp Entner, Hanna Kuzniatsova, Silke Langenberg, Hans Rudolf Meier, Lisa Ochsenbein, Johannes Rederer, Nicholas Ransome, Fetanete Rashiti and Daniel Stockhammer.

BUILDING ADDITIONS IN STEEL
The Architecture of Vertical Extensions
Since the introduction of steel as a building material in the early twentieth century, its superior performance has challenged conventional wisdom about construction, enabling designs of surprising lightness and span. Steel offered the opportunity to significantly expand buildings vertically and thus emerged as a symbol of the conflict between technological progress and the architectural ideal. More recently, the use of exposed steel elements in modern architecture ushered in a rediscovery of buildings’ metamorphoses.
