Opening of Design++ centre
The Center for Augmented Computational Design in Architecture, Engineering and Construction, commonly referred to as Design++, opens its doors on May 27. D-INFK professors Stelian Coros, Marc Pollefeys, and Siyu Tang will contribute to the keynote presentations.
The newly founded center 'Design++' will open its virtual doors on the 27th of May. The opening event revolves around showcasing core research and teaching activities of the center as well as celebrating the opening of the Immersive Design Lab (IDL).
Three professors from the Department of Computer Science, Stelian Coros, Marc Pollefeys, and Siyu Tang, are among the leading forces of the research network of Design++ and will contribute to the inauguration with their inputs and perspectives. During the event, you will hear about research from the diverse and interconnected domains of Civil Engineering, Architecture, and Computer Science. The event will also feature the activities and features of the IDL, which was initiated and implemented by Gramazio Kohler Research, ETH Zurich.

About:
Design++ is one of the new ETH+ initiatives, which aims to develop greater capacity at the intersections between disciplines and create new professorships in future-oriented domains at ETH. Design++, therefore, bridges domain expertise from Architecture, Civil Engineering, and Computer Science, among others. The center’s mission is to develop digitally augmented design tools and computational processes primarily for the design phase to simultaneously increase construction productivity, improve the quality of the built environment and substantially reduce the ecological impact within the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) sector.
