Collaborative Research Center in the field of adaptive architecture at the University of Stuttgart granted funding extension. Picture: University of Stuttgart/ILEK, Stefanie Weidner] On November 26, 2020, the German Research Foundation (DFG) granted an extension to the Collaborative Research Center (SFB) 1244 "Adaptive Skins and Structures for the Built Environment of Tomorrow" of the University of Stuttgart. Over the next four years, the SFB 1244 will demonstrate further possibilities of how more living space can be created emissions-free and using less material with the help of adaptive architecture. The University of Stuttgart is currently the host institution for six Collaborative Research Centers, including three Transregios. In the second funding period, the position of speaker will pass from Prof. Werner Sobek (Institute of Lightweight Structures and Conceptual Design) to Prof. Oliver Sawodny (Institute for System Dynamics). Professor Oliver Sawodny emphasizes: "In the first funding period we were able to prove that our working hypothesis is true. By using adaptive skins and structures we can achieve a drastic reduction in waste, resources and emissions in the construction industry.
