Profile

The Liechtenstein School of Architecture is committed to sustainable design and construction. 

Our research and teaching focus on spatial responses to climate change, resource scarcity and urbanisation processes. The LSA creates, teaches and cultivates knowledge for the benefit of society and the environment. We equip architects with the skills to meet global and local challenges with innovative, sustainable and liveable solutions.

In an international, personally-mentored and close-knit environment, aspiring architects learn to initiate and successfully implement sustainable projects across various scales. Different educational formats encourage students to act both responsibly and for the common good. Required internships provide them with early-career networking opportunities and support them in aspiring to professional practice.                                                                                                                

By cooperating with international partners bridging science and practice, the LSA is the research and competence centre for sustainable architecture and spatial development for Liechtenstein, the Alpine Rhine Valley and the German-speaking «Vierländerregion». As the cosmopolitan think-tank for critical and creative discussion and action, the LSA links global questions and answers with regional challenges.

In the context of social transformation and the responsible use of energy, land, materials and immaterial resources, the LSA's strategic fields of action focus on:

- resilient settlement structures and mobility

- sustainable materials and local value creation

- fostering the development of built heritage and building cultures.
