This volume marks the conclusion of the many years of teaching and research by Dieter Geissbühler, investigating the significance of construction in architecture. The various articles are compiled in a collage-like structure and shed lighton stances that have above all been communicated in teaching. Edited by Dieter Geissbühler.Text in German.

The publication Two Lakes is the result of a comparative study of two cultural regions – Lake Lucerne in Switzerland and Lake Biwa in Japan. Based on the results of a five-year cooperation entitled The Culture of Water (2018–2023) between the Lucerne School of Engineering and Architecture and the Kyoto Institute of Technology, it engages with the architecture of the future. Addressing the core themes of danger, beauty, commons and eternity – and their according relationships to water – it develops hypotheses on both regions with respect to the interdependence between people and the architecture they produce. The book is rounded off by in-depth articles, two photographic essays and archive documents.

The seventh book in the Laboratorium series is entitled Revision, celebrating the joyful diffusion of everyday aspects of building and solid means of creating spatial structures at the new first-year course of the HSLU, overlapped by, compared to and confronted with theses, references and itself. The illustrated book regards itself as a handy inspir­ation machine for design that is motivated by spatial construction, while appealing for diversity and multi-valence in architecture and referring to a wide range of contemporary revisions – namely those referring to collective values and goals, our self-awareness as practicing architects, and also structural revision as an act of upkeep and care.Text in English and German.

The second volume of the Laboratorium series takes a stance in the widespread discussion on research and the creative process of archi-tecture. Examples are used to show how individual insight can be applied to the design process, thereby making it communicable. Also available in the series: Climate as a Design Factor ISBN 9783037610732 Spatial Thinking ISBN 9783037610558

This volume, the third in the Laboratorium series, focuses on the language of materials in history and the present day. Within this framework, it analyses how alternative construction principles can be "researched" and where decisive development momentum lies. Also available in the series: Researching Architecture ISBN 9783037610237 Climate as a Design Factor ISBN 9783037610732

This volume presents potential problems with respect to energy-related renovation from within, as well as spatially constructive approaches to solve them. The team of authors formulates nine theses to present its interdisciplinary perspective, questioning a number of current trends. Case studies illustrate tools for optimisation. Text in German.
