    The preservation of construction and repair knowledge necessitates a shift from static documentation toward the dynamic capture of the embodied and collaborative nature of craft. This paper proposes a framework that leverages motion capture technologies to record and archive whole-body movements associated with traditional and contemporary construction practices. Drawing on historical motion studies and aligning with international heritage charters, the approach addresses the limitations of conventional documentation methods, which often overlook tacit knowledge, human-machine and tool interaction, and the situated processes of making. By integrating motion data into digital preservation workflows, the proposed method facilitates the transmission of intangible cultural heritage (ICH), supports repairability, and enhances the resilience of architectural documentation. The research underscores the ethical, legal, and cultural considerations necessary for documenting sensitive practices and advocates for metadata-enriched, context-aware digital archives. Ultimately, this work contributes to a broader redefinition of architectural preservation that values embodied knowledge and promotes access to craft expertise across temporal, geographic, and disciplinary boundaries.

    The radical turn from industrial to digital design and production has led to a paradigm shift in architecture, and it impacts the possibilities to preserve the resulting objects as much as their construction and design. Knowledge about building materials, construction techniques, and production processes is currently being transferred into the digital realm. But how are buildings to be maintained or upgraded if digital data becomes lost, if no or only rudimentary information concerning material or construction is available, or if this information can no longer be gathered using the methods of traditional building research?

    This dissertation examines technical und design innovations by the French designer Jean Prouvé (1901-1984) in the field of school construction between 1931 and 1974. The trained blacksmith is one of the best-known French developers and manufacturers of prefabricated building elements in this period. For Prouvé, school construction is both an important market and a trigger for new developments. While the strict specifications of the Ministry of Education provide a clear framework for series production, changes to these specifications call into question the foundations of developed systems. Jean Prouvé is actively involved in these processes. Starting with a detailed study of individual examples of planned and built school buildings, the dissertation pursues the interaction of three contexts: the development of Jean Prouvé's working and production methods; the developments in school pedagogy that are decisive for school construction; the measures taken and standards issued by the French Ministry of Education. The aim of the present study is to trace the systematic character of Prouvé's work, beyond the constructive field into the domain of architecture.
