Welcome to the Chair of Advanced Structures!
Our research and teaching focuses on the system analysis of structures including derivation of suitable partial models, engineering consideration of coupling and interactions, recording and consideration of extreme and changing load conditions as well as avoidance or evaluation of collapse potential using latest technologies (tools of digital engineering). Advanced Structures not only include the structures with high risk potential, lightweight and tent constructions, but also includes the use of damping elements and the interaction phenomena in standard construction methods.
Bauhaus Colloquium for Emerging Researchers 2026 »Advanced Structures: Between Interdisciplinarity and Methods«
As part of the Bauhaus Colloquium for Emerging Researchers 2026 at Bauhaus-Universität Weimar, Prof. Dr.-Ing. Lars Abrahamczyk delivered the keynote lecture titled “Advanced Structures: Between Interdisciplinarity and Methods”. The talk explored how contemporary structural design operates at the intersection of multiple disciplines, methods and scientific processes.
Prof. Abrahamczyk emphasized that the development of advanced structural systems increasingly depends on methodological integration rather than isolated disciplinary approaches. Through selected research and design examples, he illustrated how analytical tools, experimental methods, and digital technologies can be combined to analyze complex systems while maintaining model quality. The lecture sparked a lively discussion among participants on the role of interdisciplinary research and practice.
