Studierende machen sich im letzten Studienjahr Gedanken zu ihrer persönlichen Entwicklung. Die Karriereplanung ist nur eine von vielen der anstehenden Entscheidungen in diesem Lebensabschnitt. In diesem Seminar sollen Studierende im Sinne der Persönlichkeitsentwicklung begleitet werden, um anstehende Entscheidungen der beruflichen wie privaten Sphäre in Einklang bringen zu können und die nächsten Schritte bewusst planen zu können. Der Erfahrungshorizont während des Studiums wird durch zumindest eine länger andauernde Aktivität ausserhalb der Universität ergänzt. Dies kann ein Auslandsaufenthalt im Rahmen eines Gastsemesters an einer anderen Universität, der Besuch einer Summer-School und / oder ein Praktikum bei einem Unternehmen sein. Im Rahmen dieses Seminars wird diese Erfahrung analysiert, um Aspekte der interkulturellen Kompetenz angereichert und in den Reflektionsprozess integriert.

Dieses Modul beinhaltet eine systematische Einführung in die Denkweise des modernen Marketingmanagements. Die Studierenden erhalten ein fundiertes Grundverständnis der Aufgaben und Ziele einer marktorientierten Unternehmensführung sowie die dazugehörigen, praxisorientierten Instrumente und Methoden.

• Einführung in die marktorientierte Unternehmensführung
• Consumer Behavior / Kaufverhalten
• Marktforschung
• Strategisches Marketingmanagement
• Produktpolitik

• Kommunikationspolitik

Interaktive Vorlesung mit theoretischen Inputs, zahlreichen Fallbeispielen aus der unternehmerischen Praxis zur besseren Verdeutlichung und Interpretation sowie Gruppendiskussionen, die zur kritischen Reflexion anregen sollen.

Die Studierenden sind mit den grundlegenden Aufgaben und Zielen der marktorientierten Unternehmensführung vertraut. Darüber hinaus verfügen sie über ein integratives Marketingverständnis, das es ihnen erlaubt ihr erworbenes Basiswissen erfolgreich in die Praxis zu transferieren und auf unternehmerische Problemstellungen anzuwenden.

In the viva voce examination the doctoral student proves that he/she meets the requirements on the dissertation by publically defending his/her dissertation.

The Chairperson of the Board of Examiners, the supervisor and the co-supervisor(s) shall determine a grade for the viva voce examination.

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.

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 sustainable operation within a complex architectural or urban environment is critically analysed and applied. The Bachelor’s Thesis students take part in one of the Advanced Studios within the Bachelor´s degree programme. The thesis includes a developed hypothesis which is verified (or falsified) within the context of a design project.

Guided project work in the design studio. A seminar week focussing on the studio topic is an integral part of the design studio.

After successful completion of the course, students will be able to

Relevant reading will be made available at the beginning of the course. A list of recommended literature will be announced in the course and updated on an ongoing basis.

Successful completion of all four foundation studios and one Advanced Studio within the Bachelor's degree programme.

Minimum 75% compulsory attendance, continuous assessment, midterm and final reviews.
The final grade is calculated according to the weighting of the following components: design project (60%), final presentation (20%) and thesis book (20%).

The Bachelor's Thesis comprises the design and production of the Bachelor's thesis book, in which the entire research and design process of the design project is documented. The formal aspects of the Bachelor's Thesis are described in the Bachelor's Thesis regulations. The thesis book can be written in German or English.

The Master's Thesis is carried out by the student as part of an Advanced Studio and is supervised by the unit. The thesis contains a developed hypothesis that is verified (or falsified) as part of the design project. In addition to the actual design project, the Master's thesis includes the design and production of the thesis book. This consists of
three parts: the documentation of the design project, a theoretical report and a technical report. The formal aspects of the thesis and the thesis book are described in the Master's thesis regulations.

Built Heritage & Upcycling Unit:
Whenever there was a shortage of building materials in history, creativity was called for and a circular approach was often the answer. In the 16th century, the Frenchman Philibert de l'Orme invented a new construction method, known as "à petit bois", in which large roof surfaces were built from small pieces of wood. Instead of comprehensive designs, his architectural work was characterized by adapting, integrating and building on. We examine de l'Orme's circular approaches using the example of the roof truss of the Caserne Rochambeau in Mont-Dauphin (F). Could this method be one of the earliest concepts for planned circular building solutions?
