Honouring visionary architecture with natural materials

The Liechtenstein School of Architecture is pleased to announce that Practice Professor Anna Heringer has been awarded the prestigious Max Beckmann Prize by the City of Frankfurt am Main. The city honours her outstanding commitment to socially just, culturally rooted, and ecologically sustainable architecture. The prize is endowed with EUR 50,000.

Anna Heringer is internationally renowned for her projects using natural building materials such as earth and bamboo. Her work bridges traditional construction techniques with contemporary design, powerfully demonstrating how architecture can contribute to positive social and environmental transformation.

As a Practice Professor at the University of Liechtenstein, Anna Heringer brings this philosophy directly into her teaching—encouraging and inspiring students to take responsibility within a global building context.

We extend our warmest congratulations on this well-deserved recognition!
