Abstract

Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) shapes our built environment, exerting substantial environmental, cultural and economic influence on society (New European Bauhaus initiative). However, it is among the least digitized industries, caught in silo-thinking and sequential planning processes. In contrast, Information and Communication Technology creates digital design tools that are well-founded in basic research, but often lack relevant domain knowledge. Therefore, we investigate how to advance digital design tools and design processes through multi- and interdisciplinary basic research in the areas of digital architecture, integrated building design, computer graphics and virtual reality, discrete and applied geometry, and computational mechanics. Particular focus will be placed on complexity that emerges from larger-scale structures, consideration of sustainability requirements, and deeper integration of simulations in the early design phase, where the biggest impact can be achieved.
