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]

Excursion to openLAB bridge

Excursion to the openLAB bridge in Bautzen in June 2025!

Dear students,

on 10.06.2025 we are going on a day trip to Bautzen to visit the openLAB bridge, Germany’s first full-scale test bridge. If you are interested in topics such as Structural Health Monitoring and Digital Twins, this excursion is definitely for you!

The excursion is mainly aimed for Digital Engineering students, as it is the only excursion offered to DE students in SoSe2025. However, as long as the capacity allows, students of other degree programs are most welcome to apply for it. For further information and registration, please visit the Moodle room “Exkursionsangebote 2025 Fakultät Bau und Umwelt” or contact Mahsa Mirboland: mahsa.mirboland@uni-weimar.de

Looking forward to your participation!

 

 

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