ITBE Fusion Lab
Course Contents
In this module, students work in small interdisciplinary groups, on design and software projects at a scientific level. The goal of the assignment is to create software to solve a typical problem from the application area of the built environment and to apply the software tool to a concrete problem. The tasks are linked to the research-relevant fields of work of the participating chairs and can range, for example, from the processing of recorded sensor data using artificial intelligence methods to questions of additive manufacturing for the built environment. While last year's project was about re-designing the Donnersberger bridge near Munich city centre, this year's topic is about high-rise buildings near Paketposthalle München.
The ITBE Fusion Lab 2024/25 consists of two core components: a design task and a software development task.
You will be working in teams of 4-5 members from different backgrounds. As a team, you are asked to create a work plan for the semester including the assignment of tasks to individuals, defined work packages, and a workflow for the semester.
Past Projects in the Fusion Lab
In the past, students were asked to investigate the importance of the Donnersberger Bridge for all transportation means, develop possible replacement bridge designs, and present a proposal on how to prevent traffic collapse during the renovation/ replacement using digital tools and methods. Furthermore, geo-data in the form of point clouds, aerial images, lane-level accuracy data on roads (Munich Lane Model) and digital elevation models were provided. The design task involved the adaption of 2D GIS data to 3D and to then using this data for a re-design of the bridge. The re-designed bridge was provided as IFC models.
