Inspiring the Next Generation on National Future Day
On 14th November, we welcomed 22 bright and curious young minds to the Institute of Technology in Architecture, ETH Zurich, to celebrate National Future Day.
"I use data-driven methods to enable real-time structural assessments, which can minimize costly and resource-intensive replacements of aging infrastructure."
Sophia Kuhn is pursuing her PhD under Prof. Dr. Walter Kaufmann at ETH Zurich. Her research focuses on integrating AI and machine learning into bridge design and infrastructure assessment to improve efficiency and sustainability.
Design++ Summer School: AI in AEC
The final presentation of our inaugural Design++ Summer School: AI in AEC marks the conclusion of a remarkable week. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the exceptional students, committed tutors, and outstanding collaborators whose collective efforts ensured the success of this event.
Compas XR Launch
ETH Zurich and Princeton University have jointly launched Compas XR, an open-source tool that integrates extended reality (XR) technologies into architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) processes.
"For the last decade, I have been looking into how we can ensure robust and consistent mobile robot localization in environments that change and the construction site environment is the most challenging yet"
