Stephan Bischof, his office partner Norbert Föhn and Professor Dr. Silke Langenberg are leading the design studio of the Institute for Preservation and Construction History at the Department of Architecture, ETH Zurich.
He studied architecture at ETH Zurich from 2000 to 2006, spending a semester as a visiting student at the University of Buenos Aires. He graduated in 2007 with a diploma under Professor Miroslav Šik.
After working for Diener & Diener and Graber Pulver Architects, he founded Bischof Föhn Architektur in Zurich in 2012 together with Norbert Föhn. Thanks to numerous competition successes, the firm’s activities focus on public buildings, school buildings, and residential construction.

During his career he has been involved in a large number of projects and has extensive expertise in all phases of the architectural process – from analysis and design to competitions and studies to detail planning. He approaches each project as a unique task shaped by its location, context, and the people involved. In addition to his project work, he also serves on juries and gives lectures. He is especially dedicated to promoting architectural quality, sustainability and a thoughtful method of working with the existing built environment.
