The brickworks, that is run today by the Brickworks Museum, is the only intact surviving handmade brickworks in German-speaking Switzerland. The listed ensemble consists of a timber brick-drying shed, a kiln, that may no longer be operated, the biotope of the historical clay pit, a residential building with gardens, and a museum building that replaces a burned-down barn. In 2017 students of the guest professorship at the TU Munich worked on the task of designing a new kiln tower on the site. The prestressed earth-and-timber structure is based directly on the mock-up carried out at the Sitterwerk and is the world's first prestressed earth building.

Conversion Hammergut / EM2N

The old Hammer farm estate is a powerful ensemble that has developed over a period of 150 years. Through internal and external factors such as changes in production processes, fires etc. this ensemble of buildings has undergone continuous transformation. That it has always been possible to integrate the new buildings successfully is thanks to the powerful orthogonal basic structure with its characteristic courtyard spaces and the roofscape that holds everything together. Within the system established by these basic elements, over the course of the years an interesting catalogue of differentiated floor plan and construction typologies with different grains has developed.
