About dos
We are the chair design of structures at the Faculty of Architecture of the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology. The work at dos focuses on the design of load-bearing structures, combining research on innovative materials and building systems, especially in the context of digital tools and computational technologies, to develop sustainable and resource-efficient solutions for structural engineering and architecture.
Our goal is to create integrative solutions for building construction, as well as researching new structural concepts through design, prototyping and digital technology.
The "Stegreif" will be executed as a workshop. The focus is on digital form finding and parametric structural analysis. The task will be worked on in the group.

InterTwig is an experimental structure that combines willow, a fast regrowing material, and earth to showcase the potential of new sustainable construction methods based on digital construction technologies.
