Consortium
The consortium comprises five research teams in our cities.
As such, we bring together a specific knowledge on the historic housing stock of each city, as well as experience in various methods for the data collection and the analysis. Our multidisciplinary team comprises scientists and practitioners from various disciplines, Geography, Architecture, Sociology, and Urban Planning.

Construction Heritage and Preservation (Prof. Dr. Silke Langenberg), ETH Zurich
The Chair of Construction Heritage and Preservation engages with theoretical and practical challenges of methodical collecting, assessing, and preserving of monuments. It is affiliated with the Institute for Preservation and Construction History (IDB) as well as the Institute for Technology in Architecture (ITA).
Our research focusses on diverse building stocks, both older and younger (as well as very young), questions of their value as monuments and challenges concerning their conservation. Within this context, the structurally outstanding engineering works in Switzerland as well as the built examples of newly developed construction processes and methods are of special interest.
