For several years, we who work with conceptual design in engineering and architecture have had a very interesting and popular collaboration between the Department of Structural Engineering and the Faculty of Architecture and Fine Art. As an engineering student, you get the opportunity to work closely with new technologies and computational design. Most of our work has been done with special consideration for digitalization and automation in building design. In many of the works made in previous years, we try to tighten the gap between structural engineering and architecture by implementing quick analysis tools. On the other side of the design process, our students are very often trained in digital fabrication. Some of the projects are finished as plugins for the common design software, and some of them are finished with physical prototypes. A lot of master theses are made with a different version of the Finite Element or Form Finding methods. In recent years we also focus on sustainability issues in structural design. Especially the design from reclaimed elements is at the core of our research. Please visit the page about projects to see our current and previous projects.

Project and master theses will only be announced on the Norwegian page.
