About the Department BFH-AHB
Natural and sustainable building – We offer an unmatched combination of expertise and services in wood, architecture and civil engineering in Switzerland. We take responsibility for our living environment in education and research.
Our projects encompass a wide range of topics, from infrastructure construction, timber construction, digital construction, urban development and architecture to bio-based building materials. This diversity allows us to design the built environment in a transdisciplinary and integrated manner and to shape it in terms of sustainability, with the future in mind.
We rely on renewable raw materials and circular approaches. Thanks to our many years of expertise in wood, we are a national leader in the fields of education and applied research and have gained a solid international recognition.
Our entrepreneurial mindset and action are reflected in our work with students, researchers and lecturers. Together with our practice partners, we develop innovations to promote a sustainable Baukultur and thus achieve an impact for the benefit of society.
