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]

Internal Ph.D. Colloquium

An internal Ph.D. colloquium was held on 15.10.2020 for the exchange between the scientific staff of the professorship.

At the 15.10.2020, the chair organized an internal colloquium for a systematic exchange of research information. During the colloquium, the employees presented the contents of their current research. Topics included BIM-supported planning of infrastructure, damage information modeling and the use of virtual reality in teaching. In order to take into account the current conditions, all participants met in the lecture hall.

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