The conflicting priorities of society, ecology and the economy give rise to numerous conflicting objectives that increase the complexity of structural transformation processes. At the same time, current developments such as climate change and demographic change are increasing the pressure on our buildings, settlements and landscapes to adapt. Our researchers deal with these challenges and develop strategies, concepts and processes for the sustainable and high-quality development of the built environment. Integral building planning specifically combines structural, energy and social factors so that sites and districts can be understood holistically.
The Lucerne School of Engineering and Architecture develops innovative solutions that meet the needs of our partners in industry, business, politics and society. We take aesthetic, technical, economic, legal, social, ecological, political and cultural aspects into account. We work together in an application-oriented and interdisciplinary manner on sustainable developments from the interior to the building envelope and building technology through to resilient settlement areas.
