Expertises

Open Data

How, where and under what conditions is it worthwhile constructing a building? These questions were tackled on behalf of the Chair of Architecture and Building Process at ETH Zurich’s Department of Architecture. Enabling the translation of the complicated calculation for building costs into an app.

Digital learning in a digital classroom is a key topic at ETH. We are already making active use of the app and would like to thank Liip for their involvement. Our students are delighted – a maths-heavy subject has been brought to life and become a tangible experience.
