Digital Design Lab
The Digital Design Lab of the Chair of Architecture Informatics is a digital workshop to explore computer-generated forms in the architectural context. To experiment with computer models there are a wide range of digital tools available for researchers and students of the Faculty of Architecture. In addition to intuitive input devices for modeling, there are laser cutters, 3-D Printers and 3-axis CNC milling machines for rapid prototyping.
The Digital Design Lab is a part of the closed digital-chain that supports the architectural design process from concept to 1:1 prototype. For presentation purposes, there is a virtual reality solution for stereoscopic display of data models in real time.
Objectives of the Digital Design Lab are:
- The synergetic use of highly specialized digital tools for 3D modeling.
- The development of a form-based architectural language through computerized design and manufacturing.
- Simulation and optimization of buildings in the design process.
- Exploration of complex structures.
Machines and Equipment:
- Rapid Prototyping
- Laser Cutter
- 4-Axis CNC mill
- Modeling Tools
- 3D-Laser Scanner
