The School of Architecture, Design and Civil Engineering
is not only rich in tradition, but is also one of the largest
and most innovative educational institutions of its kind in the
Swiss university of applied sciences landscape.
The degree programmes offer aspiring young professionals outstanding
educational opportunities to prepare them for their future careers.
The programmes have close connections with application-oriented
research and development and graduate level education, thus helping
to create synergies between the two distinct professions of the
architect and the civil engineer, and promoting cooperation and
mutual understanding between them. In the field of architecture
and civil engineering, the ZHW is recognised as a compact university
of applied sciences with valuable links to important universities
at home and abroad.
The Institute of Architecture and Building Technology is the centre
for all the ZHW’s research, continuing education and service
activities in the fields of architecture, design and civil engineering.
Together with a continuing education platform, two centres form
the core of the Institute: the Center for Urban Landscape and the
Center for Constructive Design. In addition, periodic or spontaneous
activities initiated by other subject areas within the School, such
as graduate level education, knowledge transfer and services, find
their home base in the Institute.
Institute of Architecture and Building Technology
The sphere of influence of the School of Architecture, Design and
Civil Engineering, of its degree programmes and of the Institute
of Architecture and Building Technology, has expanded far beyond
the region of Zurich and Winterthur.
