The master’s thesis by Danica Petrović, co-supervised by Prof. Vukorep, was awarded and published in the BestMasters series by Springer.

The department received funding for a humanoid robot through the EFRE Brandenburg  funding program, in collaboration with the Work Science / Work Psychology research area of Faculty 3. The robot will be used in various research projects as well as in teaching.

In early September 2025, the first Summer School on 3D Printing with Clay in Architecture was held at our department. It involved 34 students and 9 instructors from 6 universities, along with 4 external experts. Further information can be found here. The Summer School was co-funded by Erasmus.

The department has successfully applied for funding from Zukunft Bau. The research project “Real-time Component Inventory (EBI)” will start in September 2024. More information here.

The field of digital design methods deals with development and use of computer-aided technologies in architecture and construction. With the increasing digitalisation of everyday and working life, new methods are being developed in the planning and production of the built environment. The technologies of building and planning are evolving very fast, existing processes are being optimised and the creation of architectural forms is changing. The focus of the department in teaching and research lies in the interdisciplinary processing of topics at the interface of architecture, urban planning, landscape planning and building technology. It focus on topics such as CNC technology, parametric models, robots in construction, programming of forms as well as automatisation and control of complex processes.
