On 26 -27 November 2025, Computation for a New Age of Resource-Aware Architecture (RAW) – Associated Project 43 within the Cluster of Excellence IntCDC – will hold an exhibition and public symposium at Universität Stuttgart.
RAW investigates how a new digital resource model can support the transition toward circular and net-zero approaches in the architecture, engineering, and construction industries. The project explores how the natural variability of renewable, bio-based, and waste-source materials can be characterised, modelled, and incorporated into computational design tools and adaptive fabrication methods, enabling more resource-aware modes of construction.
Exhibition Opening
November 26, 2025 17:00 – 20:00
K1 Foyer, Universität Stuttgart
Public Symposium
November 27, 2025 17:00 – 20:00
Room K1 1.08, Universität Stuttgart
This event brings together researchers, architects, engineers, and industry stakeholders to explore how computational techniques can support a transition to circular, net-zero construction practices, particularly by embracing renewable and recycled material streams.
