Immersive VR Tools Empower Citizens in Urban Planning at Bauhaus Participation Lab Event

InfAU, in collaboration with the Faculty of Civil Engineering, has started a 3-year research project titled INNOSTROH to develop innovative digital planning tools and automation solutions for sustainable building using load-bearing straw bales.

From February 26th to March 2nd, 2024, the joint conference "Building a Resilient Infrastructure (BRI) - Towards Sustainable Urban Transition" took place in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.

In the 3-year BMBF Project we will explore new methods for citizen participation in urban development projects
