17.12.2020: Interview with Prof. Dr.-Ing Markus König

Success doesn't always come with loudness. Or doggedness. Of course, it takes a healthy dose of determination, talent and hard work. In addition, the right instinct for the questions of the time, the fact that the long-loved subject suddenly goes through the roof and the luck of being in the right place at the right time may be helpful. Just like in the case of Prof. Markus König.Since 2009 he has held the chair for Computing in Engineering. For more than 20 years he has been working practically and theoretically with Building Information Modeling (BIM) and is now a sought-after expert in this field. He played a leading role in the planning and implementation of the BIM step-by-step plan in infrastructure construction and is currently significantly involved in setting up a nationwide BIM competence center. And despite of all that, he managed to keep both feet firmly on the ground.On November 18, 2010, Prof. König was awarded the Konrad Zuse Medal, the most important award in this area, by the Central Association of the German Construction Industry (ZDB) for his services in the field of Computer Science. In this interview, he explains how this came about and what he has planned for the future.(Full interview online available in German.)

03.09.2020: Interview with Prof. Dipl.-Ing. Hafner

The construction industry is responsible for a significant part of global CO2 emissions. This is mainly due to the raw materials used, such as cement, concrete and steel. In addition, further environmental damages are caused, for example due to the high consumption of sand and gravel, which are often mined in nature areas that are worth protecting.
But not building is not a solution either, because, especially in the big cities, affordable living space is scarce than ever. If we want to achieve the climate targets despite the current general building boom, alternative concepts must be found - concepts such as those that are e.g. at the Chair for Resource-Efficient Building.
The chair was established in 2014 at the Faculty of Civil and Environmental Engineering Sciences with the appointment of Prof. Dr. Ing Annette Hafner. With 7 academic and 5 student employees, it is not one of the largest, but certainly one of the faculty's most future-oriented chairs.
