About 8ICCH

The 8th International Congress on Construction History will be held in Zurich from June 24 to 28, 2024. It follows a series of thriving congresses in Madrid, Spain (2003), Cambridge, UK (2006), Cottbus, Germany (2009), Paris, France (2012), Chicago, USA (2015), Brussels, Belgium (2018) and Lisbon, Portugal (2021).

The ICCH aims at bringing together all aspects of construction history: materials, building techniques, types of construction - but also the people and companies involved, socio-cultural aspects of building and the history of science and knowledge. An important focus will also be on research methodology.

We invite researchers from various backgrounds to present their work in this field - come to Zurich to meet, to exchange scientific ideas, to socialise and network!

We would be delighted to welcome you and offer you a platform for interaction and, needless to say, to show you the construction heritage of Zurich and Switzerland.
