Research

The INNOSTROH project advances sustainable construction by studying straw as a load-bearing material. Through collaboration with civil engineering institutes, it focuses on digital tools to optimize and automate straw bale configurations, enhancing material efficiency and paving the way for renewable building practices.

Gemeinsam Planungsvarianten erleben, verstehen, bewerten und anpassen mit responsiven Planungsmodellen in sozialer erweiterter Realität

Together with the Lernraum.Bauhaus-Team we will explore the applicability of immersive walk-throughs and evaluation techniques for architectural education.

In the "Neufert 4.0" project, artificial intelligence methods are being developed to derive knowledge (so-called design heuristics) from existing floor plans to support user-oriented design of residential buildings.

With the goal to leverage the potential of digital methods for sustainable urban mobility planning in Ethiopia, INUMO takes an interdisciplinary approach between the fields of traffic planning, computer science and urban planning in order to develop and test new methods for integrated urban mobility.

In this project we are developing Virtual Reality based evaluation methods for user-centered architectural design. Together with our practice partner Deutsche Bahn Station & Service AG we are testing the applicability of these methods for integrating citizen-feedback into the design of train stations.

In this research collaboration with Deutsche Bahn Station & Service we are developing methods for anticipating the user perspective in the early planning phases of a train station. By integrating Virtual Reality based User Studies and Simulation Methods into Building Information Modeling we aim at improving current planning processes.

Digital methods for integrated and scale independent generation, analysis and exploration of residential building variants.

The DiPlanner research project in a collaboration between the Junior-Professorship Computational Architecture and the companies DIPLAN and DeCodingSpaces.

The main objective of this interdisciplinary international research project at the Bauhaus- Universität Weimar (BUW) and the Ethiopia Institute for Architecture, Building Construction and City Development (EiABC) is to create knowledge, tools, and networks for establishing high-quality, interdisciplinary, cross-continental research and education on the planning of resilient cities.

Forschungsprojekt zur Entwicklung von Methoden zur systematischen Variantenexpoloration in frühen Phasen der Planung unter Berücksichtigung von Lebenszyklusaspekten.

In this project we investigated the relationships between energy performance aspects of urban structures and the perception of a city by its inhabitants. The methods developed in this project help to more systematically anticipate the social and energy performance implications of planning decisions, and to develop compromises for both dimensions.
