In the construction sector, demand is steadily increasing for
innovative products. Product Development and Architecture presents selected
examples that illustrate how the planning disciplines can contribute to such
innovations in building. Introductory essays comprehensively explain the
thematic and methodological framework. Case studies exemplify the
transformation of ideas into prototypes or products. Creating dynamics,
shifting boundaries, building and expanding networks, conserving resources,
developing and optimizing planning tools, as well as implementing use-additive
processes — all these processes are discussed in order to clarify the necessary
collaboration between various actors in the construction industry.
Groundbreaking solutions clearly explain the role applied sciences play in the
active collaboration between university and industry, as well as the
interdisciplinary integration of disciplines and experts. This publication
presents interdisciplinary collaborative projects such as the “Seaweed Facade,”
which resulted in the realization of a building with a bioreactor facade at the
International Building Exhibition in Hamburg in 2012, or the "Printed
Envelope,” the result of a collaborative research project in which free forms
for the facade design were generated from 3D computer-generated processes.
