Research
At the boundary of architecture and structure, our research critically reviews the sustainability and circularity of the built environment. We collaborate with leading academic institutions and design practices. Integrating architecture, structural and environmental engineering remains a vast challenge for building designers. To take on this challenge, we have an interdisciplinary team of civil engineers, architects, computer scientists and industrial ecologists to conduct research in two main areas: digitalization and circularity.
