DomeCrafters
Design & build with elastic bending
The seminar DomeCrafters will focus on bending-active timber structures, from planning to realization. More info...
Building materials and appropriate constructions of timber construction
The students are able to use the building material wood and its derived products appropriately in construction and are aware of possible issues caused by the hygroscopic, anisotropic, heterogeneous, and biological properties of wood. More info...
Design and Construction
At "Design and Construction”, a design task will be developed in collaboration with students of the faculty of Civil Engineering. The designs tasks will be developed in mixed groups. The aim of this course is to train students from both disciplines on an interdisciplinary spectrum. More info...
Building & Structure
In the Building & Structure seminar the functional and effective modes of structural design are examined in more detail, especially with the specific study of the applicability of the materials timber, steel and concrete. More info...
Structural Engineering
The module Structural Engineering teaches the fundamental functions and modes of action of the essential different structures (physical and technical fundamentals) as well as the importance of structural design in the architectural design process in terms of form, function, sustainability and design.
