Starting in the summer semester of 2024, Anna Heringer will once again be teaching at the School of Architecture. Since the summer semester of 2019, she has repeatedly served as a lecturer in design at the University, and following a successful selection process, she has now been appointed Visiting Professor for two semesters.

Anna Heringer is an architect and a pioneer in contemporary earthen architecture. She first gained recognition for designing and building the METI School in Rudrapur, Bangladesh, a project she conceived and realized as her diploma thesis. Since then, Heringer has further developed her award-winning architectural approach—rooted in local building materials and local labor—through construction projects primarily in Asia and Africa, as well as through teaching architecture in Stuttgart, Linz, Vienna, and at ETH Zurich. Her central aim is to gradually build and highlight social and economic connections in the planning and construction process through the personal involvement of the architect. Her works have been exhibited in numerous museums worldwide, including MoMA in New York and the Venice Biennale. She has received, among others, the Aga Khan Award for Architecture, the AR Emerging Architects Award, and the Global Award for Sustainable Architecture. UNESCO has conferred upon her an honorary professorship in Earthen Architecture, Building Cultures, and Sustainable Development.

With her strong international profile and renowned buildings across the globe, Anna Heringer brings valuable expertise to the University of Liechtenstein, strengthening a strategically important area in the development of buildings using sustainable materials.
