Something is happening at the Faculty: several new professorships were filled this spring - a small generational change that is taking place more or less silently.
Reason enough to take a closer look at who will be at the helm of one or the other chair in the future, what new directions can be expected in terms of content and who the people behind the title are. We start with Prof. Johanna Waimann, who has held the Chair of Mechanics - Materials Theory since March and as such succeeds Prof. Klaus Hackl.
In the joint project “Timber in the addition of storeys - evaluation and implementation of timber in additions”, the Ruhr University Bochum and the Technical University of Braunschweig, together with other project partners, have drawn up a construction catalog with relevant structural and design requirements for additions in timber.
Organized by the Chair of Computing in Engineering, the event "Linked Data in Architecture and Construction" (LDAC) took place last week in the RUB Makerspace as a combined format of workshop and summer school.
