In brief: The CAS ETH in Repair Maintenance
The building industry needs resource efficient solutions to meet current comfort and energy demands. This programme trains professionals in sustainable repair and maintenance strategies in architecture.
Structure and content
Programme description
The CAS ETH in Repair Maintenance (CAS ETH ReMain) is a part-time course focusing on scalable repair and maintenance strategies in architecture and engineering. It combines different aspects of sustainability towards the development of innovative solutions for the resource efficient transformation of the building stock.
Objectives
The aim of this programme is to equip participants with the skills to identify problems and potentials related to repairability, to develop appropriate sustainable solutions and to communicate these effectively to other stakeholders. Their contribution extends the life of existing buildings and their parts, and reduces the demand for new resources and materials.
Professional perspectives
Upon successful completion of the programme, participants will be able to work in the fields of sustainable development and circular economy in architecture, construction, industrial design and production, real estate or public services. They become key players in complex, multidisciplinary projects mediating between different interests and aspects of sustainability. They are able to find innovative and scalable repair and maintenance solutions to complex problems in architecture and engineering.
Structure and format
The CAS is a part-time course over four months during Spring Semester. The teaching takes place at ETH Hönggerberg. In groups, students develop repair and maintenance strategies for an exemplary project. Weekly lectures and excursions supplement the project work.
Additional information
The programme addresses not only subject-specific, but also interdisciplinary and overarching social, economic and ecological issues. In addition, the programme investigates the application of new manufacturing processes for the repair of objects, technical components and building parts and examines the economic scalability of such repair concepts. The collaboration between the two departments D-ARCH and D-MAVT of ETH Zurich is predestined for this.
