Last friday the facade of project RKM won the Deutsche Metallbaupreis Fassaden 2021 and we are very proud to have been part of this prestigious project. We did the 3D-model for fabrication of all unique curved sheet panels of the outer skin. The design of this outstanding project is from Berlin based german architect J Mayer H , the execution was done by EBENER GmbH - Innovative Fassaden Here some links for more information: the report (german) the video (german) article and

We growing and we are currently looking for passionate people to join our team. We are in the process of founding a new startup to develop a new software targeting the AEC market to help them significantly improve their BIM and digital fabrication processes. The software will have a strong link to Rhino3D and open nurbs. Our origins are at Imagine computation - an 3D engineering office specialized in the realization of complex architectural designs. There we create all produc

Several media showed high interest in our research project shelters made out of paper which tried to develop building components and adequate construction typologies for building temporary housing out of paper. This prooves that we are on the right track and confirms us to go further with developing building components made out of paper. Soon we will set up new reserach projects within this topic with lots of interesting partners! press release university of Darmstadt articl

As this weird year 2020 comes to an end we would like to say thanks. First of all to our staff as they have done a great job, kept our office running no matter we had to struggle with lockdowns, technical problems when working from home and not seeing each other in person for quite while. Thank you! Big thanks as well to our friends, partners and colleagues for supporting us and mutual exchange in dealing with this crisis. And last but not least we'd like to thank our clien

Martin Manegold will give a lecture on our 3D-printed facade knot on tuesday 1st december 13:30 - 17:15. The event is as part of the Technologieland Hessen series and is organized by Haute Innovation, one of the leading organisations if you want to be informed about latest materials and technologies. Next to Martin Manegold will be other very interesting speakers showing the potential and the current state of art in 3D-printing for the building industry. The event is for fre

Rhino7 brings the technology of Rhino.Inside to a total new level and will help us in our daily business a lot, looking really forward to work with it! As you might know we developed already some tools for intereaction between Rhino and Revit for our project HSS in Kopenhagen (Rhino2Revit). We haven't checked out all the new features yet but what we know so far Rhino.Inside.Revit will make it more simply to directly interact and exchange data between Revit and Rhino. As more

Our 3D-printed facade knot is not only discussed online but found its way to printed magazines as well. German magazine "fassadentechnik" featured a good article about the topic and include interviews with the research partners as well. The preview of the article can be found online here. And the german podcast can be found here. #3DDruck #3Dprinting #facade #research #innovation #NextStudio #lecture #Frankfurt #evenet #wicona #computation #Rhino3D #Csharp #parametricDesign #

Today we proudly announce our new collaboration KHIC - a joint venture of Knippers Helbig and Imagine Computation GmbH, offering integrated planning from initial system design to shop preparation for geometrically complex structures and facades in steel, glass and other materials. By combining design, engineering, and computation in a fully integrated planning process, KHIC increases efficiency and reliability from the preliminary system design phase to shop preparation.​ Fro

couple of months ago we already wrote about our research project building shelters out of paper (read the article here: https://www.imagine-computation.com/post/research-shelters-made-out-of-paper). The demonstrator for the shelter is finally built and will be evaluated during the next weeks and months. This will be the start of further development in building shelters out of paper. #sustainability #paper #research #cardboard #TUDarmstadt #ImagineComputation #ZukunftBau #shel

It has been a while ago since we had been working on this project but reading this article and seeing the images still makes us proud having been part of the team. This article by Jürgen Wax - CEO at Josef Gartner GmbH - gives a glimpse about the challenges that faced everybody involved in this project. https://igsmag.com/features/case-studies/one-fen-court-complex-facade-geometries-and-diversity-of-materials-make-this-building-more-than-the-sum-of-its-architectural-parts/ #J

Die Synagoge Regensburg wurde erneut ausgezeichnet. Nach der Auszeichnung im Architekturwettbewerb „geplant + ausgeführt 2020“ der Internationalen Handwerksmesse erhielt das Projekt nun auch eine Auszeichnung des Deutschen Ingenieurbaupreises 2020 - Glückwunsch an alle Beteiligten, insbesondere an Dr. Gollwitzer! https://www.bmi.bund.de/SharedDocs/pressemitteilungen/DE/2020/08/ingenieurpreis-2020.html https://www.imagine-computation.com/projekt/Synagoge-Regensburg https://onl

During our work on HSS project our client Schindler FENSTER + FASSADEN asked if it is possible to use our BIM model to show the current status of each element in an easy way during meetings. So we developed a small tool to do so: Each element gets additional custom phasing attribute status that can be set to different predefined values. These attribute then defines the display colour of the element in viewer to easily grasp the status of the project: in design (yellow) in pro

Wir freuen uns beim ersten Fassaden Digital Symposium dabei sein zu dürfen! Die FH Kärnten veranstaltet in Kooperation mit bauinformation.com zum ersten Mal das Fassaden Symposium als digitale Veranstaltung. Das Event findet am 17.09.2020 von 8:45 - 19 Uhr statt und wartet mit sieben Referenten rund ums Thema Fassade auf. Mit dabei sind u.a. die Kollegen Erwin Trommer / Frener&Reifer und Lars Anders / Priedemann. Nachdem wir bereits vor kurzem einen Live-Vortrag zum Thema Aut

Die Synagoge Regensburg hat im Architekturwettbewerb „geplant + ausgeführt 2020“ der Internationalen Handwerksmesse eine Auszeichnung erhalten - Glückwunsch an alle Beteiligten! Das Resultat zeigt hervorragend was unsere 3D-Planung der Kuppelschale zusammen mit der CNC-Fertigung, den handwerklichen Fertigkeiten und dem super Team von ZÜBLIN Timber leisten kann! Vielen Dank dafür! Mehr Informationen über den Planungsprozess sind hier zu finden: https://www.imagine-computation.

As the initial presentation of our 3D-printed facade knots on March 26 has been cancelled because of Corona we had been working with our partners on a new way for presenting the results of our research: On Wednesday May 27th 4 pm you will be able to see the presentation as online event live streamed from Next Facade Studio in Frankfurt. Presenters will be: DI Martin Manegold (Imagine Computation) Prof. Dr. Ulrich Knaack (TU Darmstadt) Kai Kegelmann (Kegelmann Technik) Martin

Good news inmidst of Corona: We are assigned to do the 3D-modeling and shop drawing of the aluminum sheet metal parts of the facade for the "Innovationspark Zusmarshausen" for Ebener GmbH. This project by Sortimo is based close to Autobahn A8 between Munich and Stuttgart and will be the largest E-gas station of the world. All in all it will hold 144 charging stations. The futuristic design by local architect Wunderle + Partner shows clearly the claim of being the future of mo
