TræStrik
I CITA bevæger vi os i skæringspunktet mellem arkitektur, bæredygtighed og teknologi.
I vores forskning søger vi svar på, hvordan de nye ressourcemodeller kan forvandle de måder, vi bygger på og understøtte en overgang til mere bæredygtig arkitektur.
Vi kombinerer kunstig intelligens, avanceret modellering, robotbaserede fremstillinger og brugerorienteret byggeri med nye tilgange til vedligeholdelse, reparation og genbrug. Det er arbejde, der bygger på CITAs 20 års forskning inden for computational design og digital fremstilling.
I øjeblikket fokuserer vi på biogen arkitektur og vedvarende ressourcer, der byder på et væld af nye muligheder for bæredygtigt byggeri, og på de muligheder der samtidig rejser grundlæggende spørgsmål om forholdet mellem arkitektur og de områder og ressourcer, der ligger til grund for den.
Vores mål er at gøre adgangen til ressourcer, materialevariation og genanvendelse til en integreret del af arkitekturen ved at udvikle nye teknologier inden for visualisering og fremstilling.
Motivation
Jeg er draget af, hvordan arkitekturen påvirkes af de teknologier, der visualiserer og fremstiller den.
Hvordan teknologien har indvirkning på vores tanker om samfundet, former den måde vi designer og bygger samfundet på og præger dets forhold til ressourcer og omgivelser.
