Mission Statement

The chair of architecture and building process equips prospective architects with the skills they need to successfully position themselves as generalists in architectural practice.

In our teaching, we link the foundational knowledge gained in core subjects with topics such as acquisition, building economics, definition of services, and design coordination in order to instill students with an in-depth understanding of the building process and the importance of integrated architectural design.

In our research work, we investigate economic and construction-related conditions that shape the building process, as well as questions in housing, in order to arrive at strategies for fostering a sustainable building culture in Switzerland.
