research project, 2023 – 2027

The growing scarcity of fossil resources and the global threat of climate change are
putting considerable pressure on architecture, demanding new concepts that go be-
yond the range of established building materials, systems and processes.
Additionally, advanced algorithmic tools in architectural design and fabrication, such
as simulation, machine learning and machine … more

HALFFORMS HALFWAY

Halfforms — Halfways is a publication documenting the architectural research project Halfforms developed between 2023 and 2025, marking the midpoint of the funded research period. The book brings together the project’s main architectural works, material studies, experimental methods, and theoretical concepts, alongside related teaching formats and pedagogical experiments. Rather than presenting finalized results, the publication reflects the research as an ongoing process, tracing how questions of material agency, design, and construction have evolved through practice-based investigation. By assembling projects, protocols, … more

From sketch to AI: towards Hybrid Processes

Authors: Karolin Schmidbaur, Efilena Baseta

Public lecture held at the iaac lecture series on May 10, 2022
iaac institute for advanced architecture of Catalunia, Barcelona, Spain

Coop Himmelb(I)au is an international practice with a long history in building construction.

With its foundation in 1968, the practice has experienced the shift from the 20th to the 21st century that brought a variety of technological advancements along with new design methods. In this lecture, the design-to-realisation thinking and processes of key projects … more

New Dimensions of Order

In times of change, the question arises how positive transformation can be supported and shaped. The forces influencing transformation are not concepts or specific projects and ambitions, but changing values, a changed attitude that we take towards the world and ourselves. They form the basis of our motivations and actions and can thus bring about transformation – a fundamental change brought about from within.
