Architekturwerke haben die Eigenschaft, weit über die Schaffenszeit ihrer Autor:innen hinaus zu existieren, und müssen daher die Fähigkeit besitzen, selbsterklärend zu sein. Im Modul Werkzeuge und Methoden 3 wird den Studierenden sowohl auf künstlerischer als auch auf technischer Ebene vermittelt, wie Architekturwerke publiziert, kommuniziert und dokumentiert werden können.

This optional module allows for various kinds of research studies. It is closely connected to the five units of the Liechtenstein School of Architecture and is usually part of ongoing research projects. The supervision consists of directing the students towards clear results within a given field of research. The individual study is reviewed within the respective unit.

Sustainable Design Unit:
Research in Sustainable Architecture - Focus on Fluidglass This elective module invites participants to explore the transformative potential of Fluidglass technology within the realm of sustainable architecture. In alignment with the ongoing research at the LSA, this module allows you to examine how innovative facade technologies such as Fluidglass can influence the future of construction. Participants will have a unique opportunity to contribute to the advancement of Fluidglass in the context of sustainability and contemporary building practices. Depending on the desired credit allocation, tailored work packages will be developed. These may include an exploration of current advancements in facade technology, competitor and market analyses, or technical and cost simulations. Your interests and prior knowledge will be taken into account during the initial phase of the project. Participants will engage in self-directed research, working either individually or in collaborative groups. The scope of your work will be customized to meet the specific requirements of your selected work packages and will be guided by the research unit. While there are no formal prerequisites for this module, it is advisable to undertake it in the third semester to build upon foundational knowledge. Essential literature and resources will be provided at the commencement of the course, with regular updates throughout the semester to support your work and great importance is placed on equipping the participants with a strong foundation for future projects and scientific work in the field of sustainability.

Urban Design & Spatial Development Unit:
Sustainable building is on everyone's lips. But most approaches are aimed at short-term measures such as the installation of insulation panels or the outlawing of concrete. In order to create long-term sustainable living in high-quality buildings, however, far more differentiated and comprehensive considerations are required.
In his book ‹Gegen Wegwerfarchitektur› (Verlag Klaus Wagenbach, 2023) Vittorio Magnago Lampugnani outlines a brief history of urban design and architectural consumerism and builds his reflections on a culture of substantial sustainability on this basis. He writes against the extinction of nature through urban sprawl and argues in favour of a strategy of density: only the compact city can be ecological. In order to reduce the immense material and energy consumption of the construction industry, he calls for a rigorous turnaround: turning away from the development of further building land and the unrestrained consumption of raw materials. Not demolish and then build again, but rather convert, restore and further develop.
The longer a building lives, the more ecological it is. In this Independent Study, we first read Lampugnani's book and then research the relevant data and figures on the current situation in Liechtenstein. What is the current state of affairs in the country in relation to the issues Lampugnani addresses?

The Advanced Studio - Urban Design & Spatial Development focuses on the design of urban spaces and systems in various densely populated territories. Students develop urban design projects that are generated from prototypical solution approaches, strategic intervention methods and the physical realities of the city. The foundations for understanding urban transformation processes are laid and thinking on different scales is encouraged.

The Advanced Studio - Urbanism, Architecture and Society focuses on the connections between people and space, and how this knowledge provides us with the tools to confront urgent societal challenges. It thus aims to equip students with the ability to investigate urban conditions and propose spatial design solutions across a wide range of scales, through research resulting in design outcomes. The studio is usually linked to current research projects and aims for design projects that meet society’s most urgent challenges.
