The Schaffhausen House illustrates the interplay between value creation and building culture in the Werkraum Schaffhausen. The book refers to comparable initiatives in Bregenzerwald, Vrin, and Valendas, and analyzes a showcase example of Schaffhausen's building culture in terms of its regional integration into the trade and the use of local building materials. Student projects demonstrate how value creation chains in the region could be extended and strengthened. Additionally, the publication explains along nine points how local building materials, willingness to innovate, regional craftsmanship and collaboration, support for young companies, and communication can enhance regional value creation and building culture. A book for anyone interested in and committed to local building culture, good architecture, short distances, and long and local value creation chains.
