In 2024, the University of Liechtenstein in Vaduz opened its Ebaholz campus extension. Design and realization of the building’s interior was entrusted to students from the Craft & Structure Studio at Liechtenstein School of Architecture. Their key task was to create new working environments and to offer space for social interaction. The building’s structural conditions were the only limits to the design process. Students had to deal with materials and tectonic aspects of designing wall systems, furniture, and lighting, as well as all the issues of space and atmosphere for creative teamwork. Supported by experts of scenography, acoustics, and color design, they experimented with spatial concepts, atmospheres, materials, and colors. The entire planning was done on a 1:1 scale and eventually realized in collaboration with craftspeople from local construction firms.
This book highlights these didactics of design-build used at the Craft & Structure Studio under the direction of Urs Meister and Carmen Rist-Stadelmann and places it in the international framework of architectural education. Illustrated with plans, photos, and visualizations, it offers an insight into the close exchange between the students and the professionals from construction firms.
