Master Thesis: Contribution of Green Steel / Green Concrete to Climate-Friendly Construction
Contribution of Green Steel / Green Concrete to Climate-Friendly Construction
The thesis addresses the question of whether and how Green Steel / Green Concrete can actually contribute to climate-friendly construction. The examination should be holistic, with a particular focus on Hannover and Lower Saxony. There is the possibility of collaboration with the construction administration of the city of Hannover.

Master Thesis: Animated Swarms - Construction Robots and Architecture
Animated Swarms - Construction Robots and Architecture
The dMA department researches distributed robots for the creation of architecture. Based on the results of this research, the thesis designs scenarios in which hundreds of robots construct buildings. These scenarios will be visualized through animations.
Requirements:
Knowledge of Rhino 3D and an interest in animation and visualization, such as Blender, 3ds Max, Unity, Processing.Contact:

Master Thesis: Pneu Hybrids
Pneu Hybrids
Building on the dMA Demonstrator Puffer Dome, a design will be developed as a hybrid of pneumatic and traditional structures. The work includes digital representation and small prototype studies.
Requirements:
Strong knowledge of Rhino 3D and Grasshopper.Contact:

Masterthesis: H-Block 1:1
H-Block 1:1
The H-Block wood clamping stone, developed by the dMA department, will be constructively examined in the thesis. Connection details for the roof, ceiling, facade, and windows will be developed both digitally and in a 1:1 model.
Requirements:
Strong knowledge of Rhino 3D and craftsmanship skills.Contact:

The design aims to provide a replacement for a dilapidated bridge in Kladno, Czech Republic. The aim was to improve the urban realisation of the structure compared to its current state. The interference of the bridge into the valley below was avoided by using a cantilever structure.

Day and Night Kitchen is set in the dystopian world of the film Blade Runner 2049, and the target group of the ramen restaurant are replicants - artificial life forms that form a slave caste in the film's social system. The restaurant is meant to fit into the hostile urban landscapes of this dystopian vision of the future and at the same time be an alien body.

The development of a module and its connection by plug-in mechanisms are tested in this thesis. The connection, which is resistant to torques and tensile forces, can form a variety of shapes and volumes due to the size of the module. If one imagines that these modules are connected in a large volume to form a room-sized aggregation, the transition of the created volumes between architecture and furniture is fluid.

Koralle is a floating fermentation lab. Due to its setting, the ensemble is located in an exposed position on the water. The basic idea of the project was to create a modern restaurant that differs from traditional restaurants in its approach and where different methods of fermentation can be tested and used.

The shape of the butterfly house was designed on the basis of a construction system of thin, bending-loaded panels and digitally planned throughout. Geometry, material, detailing and production were developed integratively and result in an architecture that consists exclusively of a thin skin. Stability is achieved with a minimum use of material thanks to the flexurally active form. It negotiates the static necessities with a sophisticated differentiation of the interior.

During the day our homes are empty, at night our workplaces, schools and universities. Architecture also wears out when it is unused, consuming resources and sealing the ground. With a healthy ecological conscience based on current research on climate and the environment, everyday vacancies are no longer sustainable. There is something comparable in the temporal dimension, with us as users. Whenever we commute back and forth between home and work, we consume energy, time and are limited in our use.

Soft Robotics is the specific sub-area of Robotics, which deals with the construction of robots from highly compliant material. Soft robots are used and developed in various fields. Among other things, attempts are being made to use soft robots to optimise machine production processes and sorting sequences. Soft Robots are also attracting more and more attention in architecture, for example as acoustic panels or actuated room modifiers.

Dry stone construction – or the laying of stones without utilizing mortar – is the oldest form of construction made of stone. It comes in many forms and styles, mainly dependent on the level of work spent on the individual stones and the layout of the overall wall. Whereas the first advanced civilizations, like the Egyptians or Babylonians, spent tremendous work on the individual stones leading to a form of masonry basically without gaps, the construction was also used in everyday life, where the stones found in the fields were laid in walls surrounding said fields or were used for primitive housing, were the stones were basically used as found.
