Stuttgart Week of Advancing Architecture, Engineering & Construction

Leading international researchers and practitioners from architecture, civil engineering, engineering geodesy, production and systems engineering, computer science, robotics as well as the humanities and social sciences will discuss as part of the Stuttgart Week of Advancing Architecture, Engineering & Construction (SWAA) the interdisciplinary research as well as practical testing of novel, integrative planning methods and pioneering, sustainable construction methods.

The event is hosted by the Cluster of Excellence "Integrative Computational Design and Construction for Architecture" (IntCDC) at the University of Stuttgart. The Cluster is funded by the German Research Foundation since 2019 as part of the Excellence Strategy of the German federal and state governments. The goal of this large research network is to harness the full potential of digital technologies in order to rethink design and construction in an integrative and interdisciplinary approach, thus enabling groundbreaking innovations for future-proof construction. The research in the cluster is intended to create the basis for less resource consumption and CO2 emissions in construction, higher productivity of construction processes, and also a new architectural aesthetic. In order to achieve these goals, the knowledge transfer and collaboration with industry partners and manufacturing companies are essential.

The Stuttgart Week of Advancing Architecture, Engineering & Construction is taking place at the halfway point of the cluster's first funding period and is aimed at the specialist audience and interested members of the public with these three events:

About the Cluster of Excellence IntCDC
The University of Stuttgart established its new Cluster of Excellence on Integrative Computational Design and Construction for Architecture in 2019. With an initial funding period of seven years, a Cluster of Excellence is the most significant and substantial grant awarded by the German Research Foundation (DFG). For the very first time, a Cluster of Excellence has been awarded to the field of Architecture. It will contribute to establishing an internationally visible research center.
The Cluster aims to harness the full potential of digital technologies to rethink design and construction based on integration and interdisciplinarity, with the goal to enable game-changing innovation in the building sector. The more than 150 researchers of the cluster represent the range of scientific excellence across seven faculties of the University of Stuttgart and the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems.

About SOM Foundation
Founded in 1979, the SOM Foundation’s goal is to advance the design profession’s ability to address the key topics of our time by bringing together and supporting groups and individuals, each with the highest possible design aspirations. The Foundation’s award programming was established in 1981 and currently offers five annual awards across the United States, Europe, and China. The awards support students and faculty of architecture, landscape architecture, interior architecture, urban design

About the CRC 1244
Since January 2017, fourteen institutes at the University of Stuttgart have been working in close interdisciplinary collaboration on the question of how, in light of the growing world population and depleting resources, more living space can be created with less material in the future.
The cooperative research work has resulted in the world's first adaptive high-rise building, the D1244.

The objective of CRC 1244 is therefore to find answers to the pressing ecological and social questions of our time for the construction industry. The aim is to optimise the energy, material and emission balance of the load-bearing structure as well as façade throughout the entire life cycle of the building through adaptivity. In the coming years, there will be further exciting findings from research on adaptivity, with new perspectives for the construction industry.

Combination of search terms

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.

Brackets

You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).

Phrases

Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.

Selection criteria

You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).

If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
