Prof. Dr.-Ing. Christian Koch

The Chair of Intelligent Technical Design is concerned with the application of modern information and communication technology (ICT) during the design, the construction and the operation of civil infrastructure, such as buildings, bridges, tunnels, road and pipe networks. In this regard, we use methods of Building Information Modelling (BIM), Computer Vision and Machine Learning as well as Virtual and Augmented Reality to efficiently and sustainably inform decision makers. 

"Intelligent Technical Design refers to a design approach that utilizes advanced technologies, such as artificial intelligence and machine learning, to optimize the design process and improve the performance, efficiency, and sustainability of building and infrastructure systems. It integrates data-driven insights, real-time performance monitoring, and machine learning algorithms into the design process to make informed decisions, automate manual processes, and reduce the risk of human error. The goal of Intelligent Technical Design is to create high-performing, sustainable, and efficient building and infrastructure systems." [ChatGPT, 2023]

Christmas party @ ITD

Last December we celebrated Christmas in Erfurt and let our first year at the Faculty of Civil Engineering come to a reflective end.

We hope you have done the same and wish you all the best for the year 2019. We would like to thank all cooperation partners as well as colleagues and employees of the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar, who supported us with words and deeds and look forward to a good and successful cooperation this year.

We would also like to thank the Escape Room Erfurt team. The puzzle "Sonderkommission Erfurt", we were able to solve within the given time, was a lot of fun and has provided for one or the other screamer. Afterwards we strengthened ourselves on the atmospheric Christmas market in Erfurt and ended the evening in the Christoffel with culinary delights.

 

 

Our team includes Prof. Koch, Mrs. Engelbert, Mr. Wagner, and several research and student assistants.
