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.
Robotic Tectonics II – Final Critique and Summaery 2025
Teams from the Faculty of Art and Design and the Faculty of Civil and Environmental Engineering presented their overarching, robot-assembled prototypes. Each group outlined their design concept, assembly process and challenges, engineering aspects, robotic assembly workflow, and overall process visualisation.
A small gradual loading test of the overarching structures was conducted to assess their structural strength and stability.
The projects will be on view in the D-LAB during Summaery 2025 (10–13 July).
