We are delighted to announce that the IntCDC Spring Conference 2026 will take place on 23 April 2026 at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems in Stuttgart.
The Cluster of Excellence IntCDC - Integrative Computational Design and Construction for Transformative Architecture aims to lay the methodological foundations for the urgently needed, future-proof and climate-positive transformation of the way buildings are designed and constructed. Based on highly interdisciplinary and integrative research, IntCDC seeks to harness the full potential of digital technologies to concurrently advance computational design and engineering methods, cyber-physical fabrication, construction and renovation processes, and next generation material and building systems.
The IntCDC Spring Conference 2026 will provide an overview of Cluster of Excellence’s research highlights, marking the close of the first funding period (2019–2025), and introduce its vision for research in the second funding period (2026–2032).
The line-up of speakers will include Principal Investigators of IntCDC across the fields of architecture, structural engineering and building physics, manufacturing and systems engineering, computer science and robotics, as well as social sciences.
In addition, we are delighted to announce the following keynote speakers:
o Konrad Bergmeister, Full Professor at the Institute of Structural Engineering, BOKU University, Vienna
o Mette Ramsgaard Thomsen, Director of CITA, Royal Danish Academy, Copenhagen
o Bill Baker, Partner at Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, Chicago
o Karon MacLean, Professor at the Dept. of Computer Science, University of British Columbia,Vancouver
o Albena Yaneva, Professor at the Department of Architecture and Design, Politecnico di Torino
o Philippe Block, Director of the NCCR DFAB, ETH Zurich
