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

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

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

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

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

Although our daily life is quite different in times of Corona we still keep working on our projects. Next to our professional projects we are working on several research projects and one of them is developing shelters and short term housings made out of paper. Basic idea is to have a modular prefabricated system that can be quickly assembled by two people. The single elements can be combined in different ways to build a variety of different housings from tiny shelters to larg
