Liechtenstein School of Architecture (LSA)
The Liechtenstein School of Architecture is committed to sustainable design and construction.
Our research and teaching focus on spatial responses to climate change, resource scarcity and urbanisation processes. The LSA creates, teaches and cultivates knowledge for the benefit of society and the environment. We equip architects with the skills to meet global and local challenges with innovative, sustainable and liveable solutions.
Teaching
We train autonomous, team-oriented architects who help to shape a sustainable environment and society. Our students learn to recognise the challenges of the future, initiate projects and implement them successfully. Awareness of the social, political, ecological, economic and cultural relevance of projects is of particular importance to us. We consider theoretical discourse and practice, up to a scale of 1:1, to be the foundations of teaching and research. For us, theory and practice are in constant interaction.
Units
In order to react quickly to the needs of society and education, our team is organised into five interdisciplinary focus areas.
SUSTAINABLE DESIGN
The “Sustainable Design” Unit is committed to the development of environmentally friendly Buildings by using sustainable materials, as well as energy efficiency and social responsibility in all phases of the construction process, in order to minimize the ecological footprint while improving the quality of life for future generations.
Team
We are a highly motivated team of researchers and teachers. Together, we are committed to ensuring that our students receive a thorough and future-oriented education, positioning the Liechtenstein School of Architecture at the cutting edge of international research topics. → more
