Research Areas

We are interested in conducting and collaborating in research projects broadly in the following areas:

• digital fabrication, rapid prototyping, 3D scanning

  • smart fabrication of materials and building components
  • creation of the economic housing unit that can be produced by fablabs
  • recycle: recyclable & biomaterials for digital fabrication
  • reuse: creation of 3D libraries of the available second-hand materials
  • establishing matching processes for the best material economy

• computational design, design optimization, multidisciplinary optimization

  • structural art (elegant, efficient & economic structures)
  • form-finding
  • optimization of Life Cycle Costs of a design (as a balance between energy used and CO2 emitted to produce, transport, fabricate, construct, and finally utilize the design)

• design workflow, automation and software

  • design for fabrication 4.0
  • construction on blockchain

• visual & digital art

  • AI-based art
  • generative processes with human input
