An interdisciplinary research team of the University Stuttgart has been working extensively since 2017 on development and integration adaptive systems technologies in order to provide solutions for a more sustainable built environment. experimental 36.5 m tall high-rise building, called D1244, was designed completed 2021 show potential structures facades as well verify real scale developed related numerical predictions. The building offer flexible platform: each component is dismountable so...
The challenges concerning climate change require innovative approaches. Adaptive façades (AF) represent a promising approach, as making the façade adaptable brings several benefits such less energy usage or increased comfort. Nevertheless, they are not widely used in practice, since known advantages/motivators appeal particular to stakeholders who have little involvement decision-making of design process and entail compromises do. In this article it is shown that besides advantages AF, there...
Abstract KI-gestützte Produktentwicklungsprozesse weisen Potenzial zur Adressierung aktueller Herausforderungen auf. Deren industrielle Umsetzung bedarf zunächst einer KI-Adaption, welche in einem komplexen Gefüge an Aktivitäten unter Beteiligung von sowohl KI- als auch Domänenexperten erfolgt. Der Beitrag analysiert dies indem Implementierungsstrategien und Vorgehen, sowie praxisorientierte Handlungsempfehlungen strukturierten nachhaltigen Adaption abgebildet werden.
Abstract Die „Große Beschleunigung“ bei Bevölkerungszahlen, klimaschädlichen Emissionen, Wasserverbrauch und vielem anderen stellt die gesamte Menschheit vor große Herausforderungen. Dies trifft besonders auf das Bauschaffen zu. Es gilt, zukünftig für mehr Menschen mit weniger Material emissionsfrei zu bauen. Hierfür muss unsere Art des Planens, Bauens Nutzens von Bauwerken neu gedacht konzipiert werden. Auf der bautechnischen Seite bedeutet dies konsequente flächendeckende Umsetzung...
Abstract Artificial intelligence (AI) is seen as a great opportunity to secure future competitiveness in many corporate sectors. Potential for its use also exists product development (PD) activities due the amount of data generated and processed. Nevertheless, there are problems applying technology. This paper addresses current challenges based on literature review, considering three disciplines that necessary scope this minimum: AI itself, information technology infrastructures (ITI)...
The high consumption of resources in the building industry requires a significant reduction material buildings and consequently emissions over all phases life cycle. This is aim Collaborative Research Centre 1244 Adaptive Skins Structures for Built Environment Tomorrow, funded by German Foundation (DFG), which addresses research on development integration adaptive systems structures skins. New approaches planning are required implementation buildings. Therefore, multidisciplinary team from...
Abstract Nowadays, companies operate in increasingly competitive and dynamic markets with fast-changing customer needs. Simultaneously, major advances are being made information communication technologies, the digitization of products is progressing. Based on these economic technological trends, smart product-service systems (PSS) emerging as a new form business model. Recent studies show that transition to developing PSS challenge for they require methodological support, their internal...
Smart manufacturing systems of the future have to be adaptive, self-autonomous but also resource-efficient in their own process as well during utilization phase. To reach this target within a cost-efficient development and production process, holistic integrated methodologies are necessary. We show that it is possible combine different at an early stage achieve cost reduced lightweight design. The combination analytical methods function mass, requirement value analysis with simulation-based...
Adaptive skins and structures constitute an approach for reducing the immense material consumption in construction of buildings, their energy demand related emissions. Through integration sensor-actuator systems, conventional become a controllable dynamic system, capable reacting to different external influences. This demands integral planning design process with participants from various disciplines. The Collaborative Research Centre (CRC) 1244 entitled Skins Structures Built Environment...
Abstract One challenge within idea management of the front end design process is handling radical ideas, meaning ideas with a high degree novelty. Companies are approaching and incremental frequently same methods, although many reasoned claims exists for treating differently according to The paper aims address fact that ambidexterity does not play any specific role in end. Therefore, framework an extended model based on shown initial test results presented.
The European Commission (EC) has recently acknowledged that broadband coverage for all - the 2013 target of Digital Agenda Europe (DAE) been achieved thanks to satellite services, such as Tooway™, consumer-grade Internet access at 20 Mbps via Eutelsat KA-SAT satellite. However, take-up in Union (EU) is still far from being satisfactory, notably rural and remote areas where solutions are ideally suited.
Abstract Proficiency in design for additive manufacturing (DfAM) requires training and a lot of trial error. To support the development DfAM skills, we redesigned 47 artifacts from case studies derived tacit knowledge successful unsuccessful redesigns. All about these was then collected catalog. In workshop with total 48 graduates students, 45 participants deemed catalog supportive. After evaluating their designs, concluded that use knowledge-based can develop improve individual skills.
Abstract Digital transformation increases the need for interdisciplinary collaboration along product lifecycle. It is currently hindered by a low data consistency resulting from use of heterogeneous systems and models. Especially in work planning, where several models are combined, this decreases efficiency. Systems Lifecycle management (SysLM) offers solution to remedy. However, sudden switch SysLM not possible brownfields. Thus, it necessary examine challenges opportunities derive...
Frugal describes a new strategic approach which is often praised to be the key emerging markets. More than four billion people will live in these extremely price-conscious markets near future. Therefore, processes for frugal products become more and important engineering departments of high-tech manufacturers who want expand as they are struggling with local saturated However, order meet needs price-sensitive customers product should focused on core functionalities, significant price...
Abstract Adaptive façades (AF), unlike conventional façades, respond to their environment reduce energy consumption while increasing comfort. The planning of AF presents architects and engineers with a variety challenges. One central challenge is the specification right goals in early phases. This paper identifies systematic literature review main characteristics which were crucial previous realizations AF. Due comprehensive approach it provides reference for goal definition subsequent...
Abstract Adaptive Gebäudehüllen und Tragwerke sind ein möglicher Weg hin zu mehr Ressourceneffizienz im Bauwesen. Eine aktive Manipulation der Geometrie des Tragwerkverhaltens ermöglicht es, Spannungsverteilungen optimieren, Verformungen reduzieren Schwingungen dämpfen. wiederum können sich an wechselnde Bedingungen Innen‐ bzw. Außenbereich anpassen besser auf Nutzerbedürfnisse eingehen als herkömmliche Systeme. Adaptivität bedeutet die Manipulierbarkeit Gebäudehülle oder Tragwerks –...
