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]

Successful participation in the LDAC2024 in Bochum

With Hackathon victory and Best Paper Award there were two honours for ITD employees at the annual Linked Data in Architecture and Construction workshop (LDAC) in Bochum.

ITD employees were able to achieve two successes at the annual "Linked Data in Architecture and Construction" (LDAC) summer school and conference.

Jakob Taraben and his group won the hackathon held as part of the summer school for their submitted project "Ruhrtology".

The contribution submitted to the conference by Judith KrischlerPaul-Christian SchulerJakob Taraben  and Christian Koch was presented by Judith Krischler on June 13 (Click here for the presentation slides.) and was granted with the Best Paper Award on June 14. Click here for the full paper.

 

 

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