Forschungsfragen im Holzbau

What it is about

You engage with current research questions in modern timber construction, from architecture and construction methodology to new materials, manufacturing techniques and planning processes. You develop, analyze and evaluate questions with respect to different parameters and can apply the gained insights later in design and construction practice.

What you will be able to do

• Apply scientific methods to investigate questions in timber construction
• Develop, evaluate and present solutions
• Conduct and evaluate analyses, research, case studies and interviews
• Contribute to research projects
• Classify and understand questions of modern timber construction
• Transfer research results into your own design and construction practice

What the module consists of

• Block seminars / workshopsConcentrated treatment of topics in seminar form
• Lectures / short talksConveying content and theoretical input
• Analyses, research, group workActive development, preparation and discussion of the content
• PresentationsPresentation and discussion of the work results
• Field trips / day excursionsPractice-related insights on site
